It would help that when we set him up as a dunker in the press break if we could throw the ball to him

Andew Morgan is just 993 points away from 2000 career points

Morgan hits 1000 points

Not to be outdone, Ja'Kobi Gillespie of Maryland is currently at 987

We will host them at home Feb 13th

We're on milestone watch as Andrew Morgan has 995 career points and Juwan Gary has 994

6 times since joining the conference, Maryland is 4-2 at the PBA

Maryland 84 - Nebraska 71

That one win was also the only other time the game started at 11 am CST as Tim Miles famously/desperately rolled out a 1-3-1 zone to overcome a 12 point deficit with 5 minutes to go on New Year's day. Nebraska was last at Maryland almost a year to the date, Jan 26, 2024 Maryland played KenPom's 364th hardest non-con schedule, dead last Player to watch: Derik Queen The 6'10" 246# freshman has been as good as advertised, leading the team in scoring while second on the team in rebounding.

Things don't get any easier today against a Maryland team that has defended their home court well. Don't expect Nebraska to change out the scheme against this dominant Maryland front court. The Terps have a couple of guys who can hit from 3 so we'll see how closeouts look. Defense has been Kevin Willard's calling card and Maryland has been good this season, forcing teams to settle for long range shots. The Huskers could play near perfect and still lose this one. Expect to be looking for more answers this week. Prediction: Maryland 84 - Nebraska 71 View full article

I made a post like that at approximately 9:50 pm. These were rough estimates, no pun intended.

Nebraska 81 - Rutgers 70

Nebraska Cornhuskers (12-4) vs Rutgers Scarlet Knights (9-8) Date: Thursday Jan. 16th, 2025 Time: 8:00 pm CST Arena: PBA Broadcast: FS1 Rutgers Info Head Coach: Steve Pikiell Location: Piscataway, NJ Conference: B1G Nickname: Scarlet Knights Clothes not to wear: Armor, Bon Jovi Concert Shirt Line: Nebraska by 8.5 Typical Rotation Depth: 9 KenPom rank: 85 Promotion: Ladies Night, first 1000 people in the door get a Fred Hoiberg air freshener. You can buy overpriced Sangria in Section 103. You can buy a shirt touting Fred Hoiberg's good looks. What are we even doing here? Nota bene: Nebraska can set the school record for consecutive home wins tonight with a win. The current record is 20. Nebraska leads Rutgers all time 11-9. They lead at the PBA 5-2. With injuries and inconsistency, Rutgers has had 8 different starting lineups in 17 games Rutgers lost a buy-game at Kennesaw St in a game they scheduled as a favor for freshman Ace Bailey who hails from Georgia Dylan Harper is the son of former NBA great Ron Harper Sr. His brother, Ron Harper Jr., played for Rutgers from 2018-2022 This Rutgers team has plenty of length, ranking 16th in KenPom's average height metric. For comparison, Nebraska ranks 34th. Player to watch: Ace Bailey The 6'10" freshman seems to be a consensus lottery pick because of his size and explosiveness coupled with his wing skillset. His big issue is inconsistency as he will take bad shot or make bad decisions during games, issues that tend to be magnified on the road. Leads the team in rebounds and blocks. Player to watch: Dylan Harper Harper seems to be at full strength after missing some time with a bad case of the flu at the beginning of January. The 6'6" PG leads the team in scoring and assists and he's a load, getting to the FT line at will at points. If he's on from 3, he's a nightmare for the opposition.

Emmanuel Ogbole has a year in the Rutgers' system though he's more foul prone and less offensively skilled than true freshman Lathan Sommerville. Tough but poor shooting Jeremiah Williams had one of his best games of the season coming off the bench vs UCLA. He leads the team in steals. Jamichael Davis has a similar game but is even worse offensively. Another defensive pest/offensive mess, Jordan Derkack, appeared to be a clean scratch vs UCLA after playing double digit minutes in every other game. Eastern Michigan transfer Tyson Acuff is Rutgers' annual "one guy who is good at 3s. Senior Princeton Transfer Forward Zach Martini is a capable stretch 4 but has seen his numbers and minutes crater in conference play.

Nebraska has lost on the road to skilled passing teams that shredded the Huskers from 3. This Rutgers team doesn't shoot a ton nor well from 3 nor does it particularly pass the ball well. Thus, tonight is more of a "get-right" game for Nebraska against a team that is likely still trying to figure out a winning formula. Offensively, this is one of Pikiell's best teams at Rutgers as the Knights will run in transition and really have the horses to do so this year. However, good by Rutgers' standards is middling in this conference. Despite running at the highest tempo of any Pikiell team, the Scarlet Knights struggle to score over 70 in conference. The Huskers just need to stick to the plan and this Rutgers team that doesn't make the extra pass attempt to beat them from outside. Defensively, it's another story for Rutgers. Despite having a roster consisting of 2 NBA dudes and a bunch of defensive players, Rutgers is running their worst defense of the Pikiell era as there their defense is often waiting to break down inside. Teams are shooting 51.4% from 2 against a team that gives normally allows under 47%. Easy baskets are there to be found. Look, it's possible that Nebraska stays in a funk and Rutgers' talented duo pulls this game out. Seems much more likely Nebraska bounces back. Prediction: Nebraska 81 - Rutgers 70 View full article

Without seeing what anyone actually runs, Iowa St is the odd one out here because they're the only one not giving up a ton of 3s

They violated the natural order of the winning team holding the ball with no shot clock and the losing team not fouling to extend the game. If that happened to us there would be 6 pages about wanting to kick someone's ass over it.

Wanted to note that Nick Bahe had a podcast about Nebraska where he mentioned that Iowa St, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss ran similar no-middle defenses.

Played Lonzo Ball that same season

Jim Larranaga was the coach of that team! Lucky enough to have the corresponding Media Guide which lists the previous year's box scores

I've been thinking about this a lot because his rebounding numbers and his 2pt shooting% would agree with you
