Prototype stretch four a foul

Seems like we're having success penetrating into the lane with Robbins out. Now we just need Banton to make some of them

Minnesota 88 - Nebraska 66

Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-9) at Minnesota Gophers (11-7) Date: Monday Feb 8th, 2021 Time: 7:00 p.m. Arena: Breslin Center Broadcast: BTN Minnesota Info Head Coach: Richard Pitino Location: Minneapolis, MN Conference: B1G Nickname: Golden Gophers Mascot: Goldie the Gopher Line: Minnesota by 11.5 Typical Rotation Depth: 9 KenPom rank: 42 Tempo: 107th 3PA%: 88th Assist%: 23rd Players to watch: Liam Robbins The Drake transfer received a waiver to play this year and has slotted into the starting center spot with Daniel Oturu going pro. Robbins leads the team in block and rebounds and is second on the team in PPG. Oddly he has had success from 3 after being pretty poor his first two years at Drake. Players to watch: Marcus Carr Carr picked up where he left off last year as one of the best assist men in the conference and leads the team in scoring. The 3 level scorer also leads the team in FT makes and attempts. Roster points PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 5 Marcus Carr 6-2 195 Jr 22 Gabe Kalscheur 6-4 200 Jr 11 Both Gach 6-6 185 Jr 23 Brandon Johnson 6-8 220 Sr 0 Liam Robbins 7-0 235 Jr 24.4 Kalscheur is a shooter who has lost his touch, shooting a mind boggling 23.3% from 3 this season Utah transfer and Minnesota native Both Gach is also a shooter struggling with his shot though he does chip in with rebounds Western Michigan transfer Brandon Johnson slots in well as a 4 man with a nice combination of rebounding, shooting and rim protection Jamal Mashburn Jr, son of the former NBA small forward, seems like he might be the PG of the future for this team. Right now he slots in as a secondary ball handler as Carr rarely leaves the court. Makes plays but the shot isn't there yet. 6'9" 240# Eric Curry at one point was the PF/C of the future but injuries have robbed him of 2+ years of playing time and some of that ability. Mostly slots in as Robbins backup. Tre' Williams is some bulk backing up Both Gach at 6'5" 200# Isaiah Ihnen is a stretch 4 from Germany. His lack of aggression and poor shooting this season makes him the poster boy for Nebraska's strategy to pack the paint to the point of daring guys to shoot. The Skinny: Things seems bad but anyone remember the last time we went to Minnesota? Dachon Burke and Cam Mack got sent home and not to be left out, the rest of the team also got smoked to the tune of 107-75. This year's Minnesota has been up and down, enduring an almost 30 point beat down by Illinois while also dealing Ohio St one of their 4 losses. The Gophers have lost to and beaten Michigan by double digits. If there is any pattern to their up and down play it tends to be that they play better at home. Minnesota is 11-1 at home, 0-6 on the road. In some regards playing this Gopher team will be like looking in the mirror for the Huskers as both squads sport starting lineups built on transfers and struggle to shoot. As much as you're probably sick of watching teams jack up 3s against the Huskers, turning Minnesota into a jump shooting team that doesn't get to the foul line is a sound strategy that Nebraska likely employs yet again. How sloppy will the Huskers be in this one. If the Huskers can somehow not personally fuel Minnesota's transition and make them earn their points in the half court, they have a great shot in this one. At this point with Nebraska playing so sloppily and leading scorer Teddy Allen barely able to jump higher than a piece of paper, it doesn't look like this squad is up to the task in the Barn against a Gopher team that would love to run them off the court.

In all seriousness I forgot that Trevor Lakes was on the team until now. I picked 5 bench scorers thinking that either Andre or Wood would score a garbage bucket

Mack seems to be leading the NCAA in assists per game and Prairie View has a decent shot of winning the SWAC and making the tourney. I'd assume that Mack will graduate and then grad transfer somewhere bigger.

Box Score

We're talking about a team that just sat out a month so this wasn't some sort of shock. While there is no guarantee in theory these guys should start to look better after a few more games.

Modern day Stacey Augman killing us again

Walker out most of the game with foul trouble and Andre, a guy who didn't have covid in january, couldn't get off the bench.

Teddy looks to have even less ups than before.

Michigan St 79 - Nebraska 57 6 bench guys

Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-8) at Michigan St Spartans (8-7) Date: Saturday Feb 5th, 2021 Time: 5:30 p.m. Arena: Breslin Center Broadcast: BTN Michigan St Spartans Head Coach: Tom Izzo Location: East Lansing, MI Conference: B1G Nickname: Spartans Mascot: Sparty Line: Michigan St by 11 Typical Rotation Depth: 10+ KenPom rank: 63 A couple of key takeaways here is that Nebraska should have its full roster (minus Arop) for the first time this year. Also Doc Sadler and Bobby Lutz will be coaching from home as the team looks to minimize their exposure to covid. Hoiberg notes that minimizing turnovers, rebounds, and taking away Michigan St's transition are the keys for Nebraska to come out on top. Players to watch: Rocket Watts Replacing Cassius Winston is no small task and combo guard Rocket Watts is struggling in a sense to do so. He's certainly distributing the ball like everyone else on an Izzo team but he's taking the majority of the shots when he's on the court and not hitting. For a team like Nebraska that has struggled defending dominant PGs, making Watts try to beat you seems like a good strategy. Players to watch: Joey Hauser Had to sit out a year after transferring from Marquette but the sophomore center is today's big man, capable of posting up in the paint and shooting at a high percentage from 3 while having a nose from rebounding. Roster points PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 2 Rocket Watts 6-2 185 So 1 Joshua Langford 6-5 200 Sr 0 Aaron Henry 6-6 210 Jr 15 Thomas Kithier 6-8 230 Jr 20 Joey Hauser 6-9 220 Jr 13.8 Michigan St might have a similar problem to Nebraska in terms of not quite having a traditional take-charge PG. Rocket Watts is more of a combo guard and nobody is Cassius Winston. Izzo plays a lot of dudes. Joshua Langford can still shoot but he's not quite the player he was prior to two years worth of injuries Slasher Aaron Henry has also struggled with his shot this year Kithier is your classic 'why is Izzo starting this guy' if you just look at box scores. Kithier is your classic sized Izzo post player who grabs rebounds and is a glue guy. Foster Loyer is your 6'0" PG who shoots 3s 6'7" Jr Gabe Brown is a 3 way scorer coming off the bench The Skinny: Michigan St seemed to find their footing after a 'get right' game to start 2021 vs Nebraska. However, Sparty got hit with covid and after coming back has looked like a bottom tier B1G team. Their first game back, a 67-37 loss to Rutgers, makes one wonder how out of sorts Nebraska will look in their first game action in 27 days. Prior to the program being shutdown for covid, the Huskers were playing like the worst team in the conference. It's hard to imagine them having the legs to push pace and play with the sort of effort they need on defense to be successful. Michigan St has struggled to shoot this year so Nebraska maybe gets lucky and finds themselves in a brickfest. The likely outcome though is Sparty breaks a 4 game skid, once again getting right by playing Nebraska. Prediction: Michigan St 79 - Nebraska 57 View full article

I'm used to players at home tweeting random crap during games but not sure how I'll react when Doc starts flipping Lance Jeter shit about the Steelers during one of our games

I think i actually had a dream/nightmare last night where I missed putting in a HHCC score
