Nebraska (16-9) vs. Nortwestern (13-12) Game Thread
GhostOfJoeMcCray replied to Bugeaters1's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
Brice and Juwan will go down in history as two of the more puzzling players we’ve ever had. They can completely take over and win us games. They can also take random days off where it appears they have zero interest in doing the things they know they need to do. -

Ty Berry has shot 14 threes. 14! And this game isn’t close to being over. -

14 offensive rebounds allowed in one half. There is no better stat to signal your lack of effort than that. -

If we get blown out by NW it’s much more than a Q1 loss. Our metrics will take a big hit. -

Sure let’s just go ahead and put ourselves firmly back on the bubble. What an effort today. -

Some posters have hinted they've been hearing really good things about him lately. If he plays PG next year, there is no reason that he can't be as effective as Rollie Worster is in his 5th year of college basketball. Worster is a better athlete, but Janowski is already the same weight and is a light years better shooter than Worster. And I really don't have any concerns about his athleticism because I think his effort and attitude will make up for it. I'm expecting a player with Sam Hoiberg's level of intensity and effort but with size and elite shooting.

Basically, we had an old push lawn mower that got the job done but it took you 3 hours to mow the lawn and made you work hard. We found an old riding lawn mower sitting on the curb and bought it to reduce our mowing time and effort. The only problem is it doesn't cut very sharp, can't get in tight spots and needs to be refueled 3 times during a mowing session. So it ends up being 3+ hours by the time you're done.

This. Gonzaga is a good example. Their NET ranking is 14. Their Predictive Average is 14.3. Their Resume Average is 47. The NET is closely correlated to the Predictive Metrics, way more so than Resume Average. Predictive Metrics include KenPom, Torvik and BPI, and I believe all of them say they use margin of victory as a factor. Funny enough, we're the one team where our NET ranking is pretty significantly lower than both our resume and predictive averages. The metrics can't figure us out - probably because we do things like win at Creighton and Oregon but get beat like a Sun Belt team at Michigan State and Wisconsin.

We had Mast and Allick last year. Had one of them gone down for an extended period of time in February, Matar Diop was going to play a lot. I'll take this current situation with a guy with a ton of DI experience and previously a starter on this team filling those minutes for the time being. This program is not too far removed from recruiting football players to join the team because we needed bodies.

We also destroyed North Florida in a game where Berke sat out, and we had great efficiency numbers on both sides. Obviously entirely different level of competition, but we managed. It was our highest scoring game of the season. His defensive presence and rebounding is what I'm mostly concerned about.

For the bracketology nerds out there, this is a good article talking about how the committee will be using WAB and the Torvik rankings as new metrics this year, in addition to the previously used ones. https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2024-11-01/ncaa-division-i-mens-basketball-committee-discusses-team-evaluation-process#:~:text=The adoption of the Torvik,expect to have against the If you look at every one of our metrics right now we sit at: KPI: 30 (8 seed) SOR: 40 (10 seed) WAB: 38 (10 seed) RES AVG: 36 (9 seed) BPI: 44 (11 seed) KP: 39 (10 seed) TRK: 41 (11 seed) PRE AVG: 41.3 (11 seed) The committee weighs the resume averages a little stronger than the predictive averages too based on last year's data, so I think we're right on the 9-10 line right now.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I still think we can beat Northwestern, Penn State, Minnesota and Iowa without Berke. Some of these teams also have had injuries. Not saying we'll go 4-0 against them, but this is why we have the depth that we went out and got.
