Fun fact— JLaw, Bryce, Hoiberg, and CJ are the only players to play in every game so far this year. Everyone else has either missed or been a DNP in at least 1 game. #Depth!!!!!

And STILL undefeated in Q3 & 4. Good wins + no bad losses = good things come March.

Helps that Mast was out there basically doing what Keisei usually does. That allows you to keep more of a defensive guard lineup in there late.

Maryland 68 Huskers 64

For those interested, Warren Nolan has Team Sheets available. Here is ours updated after our game against OSU. https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2024/team-net-sheet?team=Nebraska

Don't know where he is getting 6, but with NET as of right now... we have 4. NW dropped to a Q3, but are only 3 back of being a Q2.

Wednesday games of the B1G Tournament are on Peacock. *DUCKS*

If we end up making the tourney, we're going to look back at this stretch! 2-0 against two bubbly teams (NW on the right side of the bubble and OSU on the wrong side) and beat both without Gary. That is HUGE!

We’re 1-0 in games I forget to hit the “Submit Reply” button.

That was a MASTerful performance!

We’re pretty solidly in most brackets on bracket matrix after that NW win. Believe it or not, beating other bubbly teams allows you to move up and them to move down. Highest seed was an 8 Lowest seed was “out” in two of 76 brackets.

One of our Q1 wins is a true road OOC win over a team from the top conference in the nation. You’d have to think that’ll stand out too and I wonder how many other Tier 2 teams can boast that. I worry about how our Non-Con SOS will look like a black eye come March if we’re on that bubbly line. I feel like that could be a reason why we “shouldn’t” make it should they need one. There is precedent for that as well. Now, if we can stack some wins and win a big game or two, that Non-Con SOS is moot. One thing we’ve done to help separate ourselves is beat other bubbly teams. KSU, MSU, Northwestern are all teams riding that 10-11 seed line. We’re in 74/76 bracket matrix projections right now with an average seed under 10. MSU is barely above us and NW/KSU are below us. Those three wins are huge when it comes to H2H discussions.

I hope not. Honestly the list of guys who went through a 2nd year slump only to kill it the rest of their career at Nebraska, probably outnumbers the number of guys to be here for all 4 years. Heck CJ went through a 2nd year slump here. I can also think of players like Tai Webster, and I think even Glynn Watson who all had a 2nd year slump that had people questioning.

Still not at a point in our schedule where we need to watch games like this because they matter. Go FL A&M! LOL

Wake kept it closer for a while, but ended up losing by 21. Wake really needs some upper tier wins to up their resume if they want to play in March.

Current leaders of the B12, but 5 of their next 6 are against ranked teams and their non-ranked is a road game at Oklahoma St.

Safe to say we’re in the portion of our schedule where we need to pile wins and avoid losses.

Pretty sure I saw their NIL collective (don’t know if it was whole school or just basketball) was in the ballpark of 200K too. Which… in either situation just isn’t going to get it done in 2024. Edit: Saw it here

While true… not getting to 20+ wins means going 5-7 down the stretch which also means that our NET (as well as other metrics) will reflect that.

A month ahead of last year I think! Let’s get it on!

Also— if anyone is interested in our team sheet outside of Quads…

Saw in tweet— maybe Robin. Did half-court work today, going to try a bit more in shoot around. doing much better than when injury initially happened at Rutgers.

Question for those in the know about SOS’s… does your Non-Con SOS change based on how teams do the remainder of the year. For instance, UND is doing not terrible in the Summit. If they go on and win the dang thing, could that help our Non-con SOS?
