"Buy Game" might be a more apt statement. We haven't lost one of those since the Matt A era. -

Notes from UNL Nebraska Postgame Notes *-Nebraska improves to 11-2 on the season for the second straight season. It matches NU’s best record since opening the 1991-92 season with a 12-1 mark after 13 games. *-Nebraska finishes its non-conference slate with a 10-1 mark, marking the sixth time since WW2 that Nebraska has finished non-conference action with one loss (2023-24; 2018-19, 2003-04, 1991-92, 1977-78). *-With the win, Nebraska has now won 19 straight at home dating back to December of 2023. The Huskers are one shy of the program record of 20 set two previous times. *-With tonight’s win, NU is 19-1 at home in non-conference action over the last three seasons. *-Nebraska had an 11-0 run in the first half, the 11th double-figure run of the season. *-Connor Essegian (20) and Andrew Morgan (11) both finished in double figures off the bench. NU now has 14 double-figure efforts from the bench this season. *-Essegian led all scorers with 20 points, his third 20-point game of the season and fifth of his career. It marks the 10th time in Fred Hoiberg’s six seasons that NU has had a player come off the bench and finish with at least 20 points. *-Essegian matched his career high with six 3-pointers (also vs. South Dakota and North Florida). He has hit five-or-more 3-pointers four times this season. *-Nebraska finished with 22 assists, its second-highest total of the year. In addition to Rollie Worster, who had six assists without a turnover, Sam Hoiberg added a career-high five assists. *-Brice Williams has reached double figures in 12 of NU’s 13 games, finishing with 11 points. He went over the 1,500-point mark for his career. Williams also matched his season high with seven boards. *-Nebraska tied a season high with 13 3-pointers, the third time this season NU hit 10-or-more 3-pointers in a game. *-Nebraska’s defense posted season lows in field goal percentage (25.4%), 3-point percentage (12.5%), 3-pointers made (3) and free throw percentage (37.5%). *-The 43 points allowed and 25.4 percent field goal percentage by Southern were the lowest since Mississippi Valley State had 37 points and 19.1 percent shooting on Nov. 6, 2018. *-Berke Büyüktuncel tied his career high nine rebounds, the fourth time this season he has grabbed nine or more rebounds. -

Game Day Essentials: Game #13 vs Southern
hhcmatt replied to hhcmatt's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
Tidjiane Dioumassi is a 6'5" PG who started every game for Southern last year and in Southern's first game this season scored 30 points. He has not played in 4 of the last 5 games, no idea why. -
Nebraska Cornhuskers (10-2) vs Southern Jaguars (10-2) Date: Monday Dec. 30th, 2024 Time: 8:00 pm CST Arena: Pinnacle Bank Arena Broadcast: BTN Southern Head Coach: Kevin Johnson Location: Baton Rouge, LA Conference: SWAC Nickname: Jaguars Last time out: Lost to USC Shirt not to wear: Yellow, Leopard Line: Nebraska by Rotation Depth: 12+ Nota bene: This will be the 3rd time that Nebraska has hosted Southern during the Fred Hoiberg era. Nebraska is 29-1 all-time vs the SWAC Southern is #2 in KenPom's Bench Minutes % stat with 47.7% of their minutes coming off the bench Southern is last (364th) in D-1 in KenPom's shot block % by an offense. The Jaguar's are a poor 3pt shooting team who tries to run their offense through the paint. They also happen to be a relatively small team so the end result is getting their shots blocked repeatedly. (Nebraska's first team under Fred Hoiberg suffered from this same phenomenon) The Huskers have been notorious this season for forcing teams to take 3pt shots, currently ranked 358th in D-1 for 3pa/fga percentage. The Jaguars however rank 342nd in this stat so we might see a bunch of 3s tonight Rollie Worster is 14 points away from 1,000 career points Brice Williams is 8 points away from 1,500 career points Player to watch: Jordan Johnson The sophomore shooting guard easily leads the team in 3pt attempts. After hitting on 35.8% from deep as a freshman last season, Johnson is hitting a respectable 33.8% on the season.

The key to Nebraska keeping this a winnable game is to keep this undersized but springy Jaguar team off the glass. Southern will pressure the ball but Nebraska won't be rattled much by this. The Jags don't possess the 3pt firepower needed to give Nebraska a run. With Nebraska playing their last pay game of the season, it'd be as good as any time to fire up Gavin Griffiths and Cale Jacobsen, especially if Ahron Ulis is still unavailable. In a winnable game where the defense will give you threes, it should be safe to go deeper into the bench. Prediction: Nebraska 81 - Southern 62 View full article

Keeping Up with Old Friends (The Transferred Thread)

JL on his worst day is a better 3pt shooter than Rollie. If you're looking for a guy who can be a spot of 3pt shooter, it's JL and it's a no brainer. I think there is also a lot to be said for having experience in our system. If you think that Rollie with his size and JL with his quickness are equal defenders, then the edge goes to JL because he had two years of working in a Loesner defense. On the other hand, Rollie can get into the lane in a way that JL cannot through driving and/or booty ball. His 2pt shooting percentage and ability to get to the line reflect the advantage there. He's a better rebounder than JL. It seems like he has better instincts at the point though maybe JL would have been there after a summer. Seems like a wash from overall production and individual game matchups might dictate which one might have the advantage on a given night. -
Not sure how it looks over long stretches or against big lineups but Berke as the small ball 5 has generated the best net efficiency vs our other 2 centers
-
Uh, JL sure seemed to like NIL when they were paying Nigel Pack $800k and going to the final 4. NIL makes a great scapegoat when you're 75 and losing buy games

Notes from UNL *-Nebraska wins its first MTE event since the 2000 San Juan Shootout, while Nebraska Head Fred Hoiberg is the first coach to win multiple Diamond Head Classics, as his Iowa State team won the 2013 event. *-Diamond Head Classic MVP Brice Williams posted his fifth game of at least 25 points this season, finishing with 25 points, a season-high seven rebounds and four assists. He has scored 25 or more points in three of NU’s last four games. It was his 11th game at Nebraska with at least 20 points and has been in double figures in 15 of the last 16 games dating back to last season *-Williams averaged 22.0 points on 56 percent shooting along with 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in NU’s three games. *-Sophomore Berke Büyüktuncel finished with career-highs in both points (16) and three pointers (three), as he went 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. He entered tonight’s game 4-of-19 from the 3-point line this season. Büyüktuncel joined Williams on the all-tournament team as he averaged 8.0 ppg and 8.0 rpg. *-Nebraska finished at 53.2 percent shooting, the third time the Huskers shot over 50 percent this season. *-Nebraska went 20-of-24 tonight and finished the tournament going 38-of-44 (.863) from the foul line. *-Nebraska held Oregon State to 39.6 percent shooting, the seventh opponent in 12 games under 40 percent. Nebraska held its three opponents to a combined 37.4 percent from the field. *-Nebraska out-rebounded OSU, 31-24, becoming only the second team to out-rebound the Beavers this season. -

Nebraska Cornhuskers (9-2) vs Oregon State Beavers (10-2) ** 2024 Diamond Head Classic ** Date: Wednesday Dec. 25th, 2024 Time: 7:30 pm CST Arena: SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center, Honolulu, Hawai'i Broadcast: ESPN Oregon State Head Coach: Wayne Tinkle (11th year) Location: Corvallis, OR Conference: WCC Nickname: Beavers Mascot: Benny Beave Line: Nebraska by 4.5 Rotation Depth: 9 Last time out: Beat Oakland Nota bene: Nebraska is 5-6 all-time vs Oregon St With the collapse of the Pac-12, Oregon State is now a member of the West Coast Conference Guard Nate Meidoff now goes by the name Nate Kingz This is the second neutral location game vs Oregon St in as many year. Last season Nebraska defeated Oregon St. 84-63 at the Sanford Pentagon Nebraska is looking for their first in-season tournament championship since the San Juan Shootout in 2000 Fred Hoiberg is 5-0 as a coach in Hawai'i, 2-1 as a player. 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: Michael Rataj The junior forward leads Oregon St in scoring, rebounds, and blocks.

The Beavers both of last year's top scorers, Tyler Bilodeau and Jordan Pope, to schools in better conferences with better NIL opportunities. It's possible that it's been addition by subtraction for OSU as the Beavers have exceeded expectations and are 10-2. If you look at their current KenPom numbers, you can see similarities to their surprise Elite 8 team from 2021. Unlike a lot of the other teams that Nebraska has played, Oregon St isn't really a one-dimensional offense. They shoot well from 3 but then again they work into the paint enough where they also score plenty from the 3. They do tend to turn the ball over more than average. Defensively, the Beavers have a lot of length which allows them to exceed on the glass as well as gambling for steals. Thus far Nebraska hasn't really been tested in this tournament. That could change against this Oregon St team that looks like it could finish towards the top of the WCC. Given this could end up as a Quad 1 win, this would look great on Nebraska's resume if they can pull it out. Prediction: Nebraska 71 - Oregon St 66 View full article
