    More information about "Game Day Essentials: Game #10 vs Murray State"
    Murray State Info Head Coach: Steve Prohm (3rd year/7th overall) Location: Murray, Kentucky Conference: Missouri Valley Conference Nickname: Racers Mascot: Racer One (Live Horse), Dunker (Costume) Line: Nebraska by 9.5 Rotation Depth: 8 Last time out: Lost to Indiana St Nota bene: Nebraska is 0-2 all-time vs Murray St. Nebraska lost in the 1990 San Juan Shootout Championship game 81-79. They also dropped a home game 79-71 on Dec 30, 2000 during Barry Collier's first season This is Steve Prohm's second stint at Murray St. as he was the coach for the Racers from 2006-2011. From 2011-15 he was the coach at Iowa St, taking over after Fred Hoiberg left for the Bulls. Thus this season Hoiberg will coach against the coach that preceded him (Greg McDermott) and proceeded him at Iowa St. Murray St is currently ranked #9 in 3 point attempt % allowed and #1 in Assist per FGM %. This is the analytical way of saying their running teams of the 3pt line. This is a complete flip of defensively philosophy/numbers from Prohm's first 2 seasons back at Murray St. Murray St. ranks 346th in KenPom's bench minutes stat as four of their starters average over 27 minutes per game This marks the Huskers’ seventh trip to the islands for a tournament and the first since the 2014 Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic Fred Hoiberg led Iowa St to the championship of the 2013 Diamond Head Classic. There is an infamous report that Iowa St made the team sleep in a ballroom before their flight home to save money. Player to watch: Jacobi Wood Everything starts with the 6'2" 5th year PG who at 36 mpg, rarely leaves the court. Wood leads the team in scoring and assists while currently shooting 38% from 3. Murray St Roster Player # Class Pos Height Weight Summary JaCobi Wood 24 SR G 6-2 180 15.0 Pts 4.2 Reb 5.4 Ast AJ Ferguson 7 SR G 6-6 185 12.3 Pts 6.0 Reb 1.4 Ast Terence Harcum 9 SR G 6-3 190 12.0 Pts 2.0 Reb 1.5 Ast Kylen Milton 0 SR G 6-4 190 11.2 Pts 4.1 Reb 1.6 Ast Nick Ellington 23 SR F 6-8 220 9.7 Pts 4.5 Reb 0.6 Ast KyeRon Lindsay 2 JR F 6-7 215 8.3 Pts 5.3 Reb 0.9 Ast Alden Applewhite 13 JR F 6-7 200 6.5 Pts 4.4 Reb 1.6 Ast Justin Morgan 11 JR G 6-6 215 2.3 Pts 1.6 Reb 0.4 Ast Nick Ellington and KyeRon Lindsay rotate at the 5 where neither of them are threats from 3. Ellington is a better scorer, more experienced at Murray St., and gets to the FT line a ton. Lindsay is a bouncy former 4 star. Along with Wood, Terrance Harcum is the main 3pt shooting threat on the team. AJ Ferguson doesn't shoot a ton but he's ultra-efficient with a 65.3 eFG% along with impressive ability to draw contact. Arkansas Pine-Bluff Kylen Milton isn't a great shooter but is yet another guy who draws contact.

This first game against Murray St is absolutely critical considering that a loss hurts your tourney resume on a couple of different levels as losing likely lines you up with lesser opponents. The Racers are one of the best at taking away the 3pt shot so look for Nebraska to be content with spending the entire day trying to drive into the paint. Between drawing fouls and scoring easily over the undersized Murray St post players, it would be surprising to see Nebraska take over 20 3pt attempts today. On the defensive end it's all about being able to guard without fouling as this will turn the Racers into a desperate 3pt shooting team. While they're a very good 3pt shooting team, it's not their focal point. Expect Nebraska to control this game and hopefully to win without a struggle Prediction: Nebraska 82 - Murray St 71

    Boy I whiffed on that one

    Some notes on this Brice finished the game vs Indiana with 30 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Those all led the Huskers. Brice not only was name B1G player of the week, he was the first Husker ever to win the national player of the week award Brice has previously won the national player of the week award when he played for Charlotte Williams is the first Husker to earn the Big Ten’s Weekly Award since Alonzo Verge Jr. on March 7, 2022. Brice is only the second player since Nebraska joined the B1G to record at least 30 points and 5 assists in a single game. The other was Alonzo Verge.

    By now many of you might have seen the ruling for a quarterback from Vanderbilt who won a suit that ruled that Juco seasons did not count towards his eligibility. Your first instinct might be to wonder if Keisei could come back for two years but anyone can do that. For this exercise, I'd like you to consider any Nebraska Basketball player that played JUCO ball and construct a team with them. Feel free to bring Caleb Walker or Kimani Ffriend along.

    I don't know about that. Ulis got off on a technicality about gambling. I'd personally expect no leniency.

    They should fight over that tbh. Fighting teammates are like a coach who screams at his players: Your W-L record determines the effectiveness.

    We're 0-2 lifetime vs Murray St. Collier dropped a game to the Racers at the Devaney in his first year 79-71

    You operate in a Marcus Satterfield offense?

    Because of Rollie's foul trouble in the first half this was the first game this season when either Worster or Ulis weren't on the court more more than 5 minutes in a game. (Fred mentioned in the post game this the first time they got to see Brice at the point) They are so in a timeshare that either of them have been on the court at PG approximately 97% of the time but they've been on the court together less than 3 minutes this season. They both played for 88 seconds together at Creighton. Otherwise they played 1 defensive possession together vs FDU and St Mary's.

    They're the same players though. The potential is why GG is on this team and why he played for Rutgers. Even if he had an absolute miserable year here, one could likely clip together a similar clip of 10 good plays. It's the inconsistency...the plays that aren't on the highlight clips that keeps GG off the court. You're noticing the same WTF things the coaches see when he's out there and don't see from Jacobsen which is why Cale is currently taking his spot in the rotation
  15. hhcmatt
    If nothing else GG should see run vs Southern because they take away the 2 which means we'll need 3pt shooting in what should be a winnable game. The one thing Southern does is turn you over so the likelihood of GG getting pulled over a bonehead turnover in that game, should he play, increases as well. We Will have a lot of minutes to fill next season so really we just need to figure out if he's going to be a part of that.

    Been there, done that

    Just needed to play the last 5 minutes
  18. hhcmatt
    I personally prefer an early start on these, thanks
  19. hhcmatt
    I missed the first dunk so when I saw the second dunk and saw he had 4 points I thought..I bet the other bucket was a dunk.

    He's like Andrew White if AW was able to handle the ball and/or defend. He's really a complete player.
  21. hhcmatt
    I'm good
  22. hhcmatt
    Without context +/- can be almost random from game to game
  23. hhcmatt
    This is the second game this season where we've Kampong'ed a team at the end of the game with a big run
  24. hhcmatt
    Didn't think hard enough. Ended approximately the same way the UTRGV game ended
