“Just give me all the Transfer Kobes you have… Wait. Wait…” “I’m worried what you just heard was give me a Transfer Kobe. What I said was give me all the Transfer Kobes you have.”

Seems a lot more likely that they're friends enough where they carpooled to Lawrence. Both these guys are going to wherever it makes sense for them individually and Kansas doesn't need to package guys.

It's odd you're predicting two guys to transfer but not whether or not a guy gets a waiver

It all makes sense now. Samari Curtis transferred because he found out Miles got a gig with the BTN. We should probably convert the state default from miles to kilometers just to be safe. Why else would Thor, a native of a country that employs the metric system, be immune?

In adding insult to injury in my head I felt the season was over but in fact we have two more games before the B1G tourney

I'm currently checking nutrition labels for calories and FT%

As impressive as the rebounds were for Yvan against a Northwestern team that struggles to rebound I'd have to say that blocked shot he got stood out the most. Not sure if I've ever seen him block one that high before

Nope. I brought nothing but women and children to the game

That game was like a kick in the area where our groin used to be.

From UNL Nebraska Post-Game Notes Nebraska played in its fourth overtime game of the season, falling to 1-3 in overtime games. The four overtime games ties the school record, set most recently in 2007-08. NU falls to 63-50 all-time in overtime games. The Huskers tied their season high with 12 3-pointers, marking the third game this season with 12 threes. With the 12 3-pointers, Nebraska has made 236 threes this season, moving into fourth place on the program’s single-season 3-point list. Nebraska had a season-high 16 steals in the game, eclipsing its previous high of 15 on Dec. 29 against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The 16 steals were a Pinnacle Bank Arena record and the most by a Husker team since recording 16 against San Jose State on Nov. 16, 2008. Dachon Burke Jr. tied his season high with five steals, as one of five Huskers with multiple steals. He also have five steals against George Mason Yvan Ouedraogo grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds, matching the Pinnacle Bank Arena record first set by Maryland’s Bruno Fernando on Feb. 6, 2019. Ouedraogo leads Nebraska with a Husker freshman-record 191 rebounds this season. Ouedraogo’s 19 rebounds is the most by a freshman since at least the 1986-87 season (Brian Conkin had 17 vs. Kansas State, 2/14/01). Ouedraogo’s 19 rebounds is the most by a Husker since Alex Maric had 19 against Missouri on Feb. 24, 2007 Ouedraogo also scored 11 points to go along with his 19 rebounds, posting his third double-double of the season and second in three games. He is averaging 8.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game over Nebraska’s last six contests. Ouedraogo’s three double-doubles equals the most ever by a Husker freshman. Haanif Cheatham led Nebraska with 20 points on Senior Day, his 12th career 20-point game and fourth this season. It is NU’s 11 20-point game of the season. Dachon Burke Jr. had 19 points, including 18 in the second half and overtime. Cam Mack had seven assists giving him 179 assists this season, as he tied Charles Richardson Jr. (2006-07) for the third-most assists in a season in Nebraska history. Nebraska finished the season with an average attendance of 15,605, breaking the school record for highest average attendance (15,569, 2014-15).

I'd put us at about a 45% chance.

Nebraska 75 - Northwestern 70

Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-21) vs Northwestern Wildcats (6-21) Date: Saturday March 1st, 2020 Time: 3:15 p.m. Arena: Pinnacle Bank Arena (15,000, 29th largest in D-I) Broadcast: BTN Nothwestern Info Head Coach: Chris Collins Location: Evansville, IL Conference: B1G Nickname: Wildcats Mascot: Willie the Wildcat Typical Rotation Depth: 7-8 Line: Northwestern by 5.5 KenPom rank: 100 Offensive Style: Passing into the paint Defensive Style: Zone/non-aggressive Key Injuries: SG Anthony Gaines - Out for season with shoulder injury Players to watch: Pat Spencer If you don't know who Pat Spencer is you'd probably be a great candidate for jury duty. Spencer is a graduate transfer from Loyola where he was one of the best lacrosse players in Div-1, winning the Tewaaraton Award last year. Instead of moving on to a professional lacrosse career, Spencer decided he wanted to play college ball and chose Northwestern. While he struggles with his outside shot, he's an excellent FT shooter and leads the team in assists. Players to watch: Boo Buie The freshman PG is aggressive scorer who currently isn't shooting well and the Huskers should take their chances on Buie beating them. Roster points PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 0 Boo Buie 6-2 180 Fr 12 Pat Spencer 6-3 205 Sr 10 Miller Kopp 6-7 210 So 31 Robbie Beran 6-9 205 Fr 15 Ryan Young 6-10 235 Fr 26.0 Yet another shorthanded team. The Purple came in with just 10 scholarship players and are down to 8. They're also young, starting 2 sophomores and 2 freshmen Miller Kopp leads the team in 3pt shooting Forward Pete Nance comes from a NBA family where his father played for 13 seasons and his brother is currently playing. Nance is a 3 and D guy except he can't hit 3s. Robbie Beran is the highest rated recruit in NU history and has established himself in the starting lineup. Young leads the team in rebounding and shoots at a high percentage in the paint when he gets the ball. 6'7" Boston College grad transfer F AJ Turner can play point and did so at BC. Has found his 3pt stroke in conference play 6'10" freshman center Jared Jones is just depth Soph G Ryan Greer is guard depth with limited offensive game The Skinny: Here we are at the last home game for Nebraska and probably the best chance for either team to break their double digit losing streaks. Northwestern is going to attempt to make Nebraska beat them from 3 and Nebraska most likely will return the favor. As much as it felt like NW torched Nebraska back in January it was a manageable 34.5%. Northwestern has some nice pieces but Nebraska should be able to scheme around them. Look for the Huskers to finally win one though like most everything this year it probably won't be smooth nor easy. Prediction: Nebraska 75 - Northwestern 70 View full article

Notes and quotes from UNL Nebraska Postgame Notes Yvan Ouedraogo grabbed a team-high six rebounds – all in the second half – to set the Nebraska freshman rebounding record. He has 172 rebounds this season, surpassing the previous record of 169 set by Aleks Maric in the 2004-05 season. Ouedraogo has grabbed six or more rebounds in each of the last four contests. Dachon Burke Jr. led Nebraska with 13 points. He has scored in double figures in each of his last six Big Ten Conference games. Cam Mack, who missed Monday’s game at Illinois with an illness, scored 12 points against Ohio State, marking his first game in double figures since Feb. 8 at Iowa. Mack leads Nebraska with 21 games in double figures this season. Mack now has 172 assists and is seven away from third place on NU’s single-season chart. Ohio State’s Kaleb Wesson went 10-of-13 from the free-throw line, establishing Pinnacle Bank Arena opponent records for free throws made and attempted. Nebraska hit a season-low three 3-pointers against Ohio State, as the previous low was five on three occasions. Nebraska Head Coach Fred Hoiberg On the effort tonight “I thought the effort was there in the first half. I thought we went out there and tried to do the right thing defensively. They obviously hit their shots early- five of their first six, four of those by [Duane] Washington Jr. who had been driving the ball. We talked about closing out on him with the drive, and he was going up and shooting it without any hesitation, but I thought we were there on those closeouts. They were 5-6 (from three) to start and 1-18 the rest of the game. I thought in transition we did a solid job. On the boards, they had four offensive rebounds in the first half. I thought we did a lot of good things, even though they scored 43 points. Give Ohio State credit. They came out in great rhythm and great pace in their offense. In the first half, we give up scores in the paint, and in the second half we gave up seven in the early minutes before we called the timeout. I thought the resistance on the drives was what was disappointing which opened it up for them in the second half. I thought we played our best half at Maryland when we had a 13-point deficit there. To be able to fight back on the road against the number one team in our league, we talked about coming out with that same mentality. It just wasn’t the same. We lost the second half by five and the first half by 16. Defensively in the first half, we limited them in places we wanted to limit them. The second half was too easy for them.” On if the offensive struggles the past couple weeks is a sign of fatigue “I don’t think so. I think we had 44 shots in the paint area but a lot of those were forced. They had nine blocked shots the first time we played them, and they had nine tonight. We talked a lot about working hard on probing in the paint or making the pass to the corner or kicking it out for spacing. I thought too many times we were trying to challenge at the rim. I thought a lot of those 44 shots weren’t great shots. We’ve had times in games this year where we’ve struggled to finish but they were the shots we want. Tonight, a lot of those were forced.” On if there is any lack of motivation “I don’t think it is a lack of motivation. I think when things get tough, that’s when we see guys start to drop their heads a little bit. I know it’s human nature when you go through struggle like that especially with as long of a slide as we’ve had with guys who haven’t dealt with that that much. When things are going well, you can see the enthusiasm. We almost get a “Here we go again.” mentality when things start to get rough. We have to find a way to fight through that in these last three games and the Big Ten Tournament if we have any chance of winning. In practice, that’s where you see it. If we weren’t giving any effort in practice, I would be worried about this group, but they still come in to work. When you come out in the game, hopefully you can consistently put effort in 40 minutes. For the most part of the season, our guys have had great effort. Our guys, especially some individually, have gotten better. When things get tough, you can see it. You can see the heads drop. You can see it in the huddles. It’s just not the same energy. We have to find a way to get past that.” Nebraska Junior Guard Thorir Thorbjarnarson On the shooting struggles being a result on an off night for Nebraska or Ohio State's defense "A little bit of both I think. I don't think I got an open look until three minutes left on the clock, so they were doing a really good job guarding me, but also we got some good looks, but the ball wasn't going it. It's hard when they get five three's right off the bat of the game and have to dig yourselves out of a hole." On what he is looking to for motivation "Personally I can say the Big Ten Tournament, it doesn't matter how the season ends every team gets a shot. With three games to go, we just have to try to get some momentum going into that, and we have a perfect opportunity on Sunday. I think that's going to be a key game for us to head into the tournament in Indianapolis.” Ohio State Head Coach Chris Holtmann On his general thoughts on the game Obviously, I have a lot of respect for Fred and this team. When you look at how they’ve played and their games, they’ve been really close and touch-and-go for a lot of the second halves. Fred and them do a great job of spreading you out and making it difficult for you to guard. We were really concerned about playing here, in Lincoln, with a great fanbase. So I feel good about this win. I thought our older guys led the way. On Nebraska’s three-point shooting They can shoot it from so many different spots. They hit eight in the second half at our place. I thought Fred made some adjustments in the second half at our place that just made it really difficult for us and spread us out. We didn’t always have great attention to detail. It was obviously a concern. On how he feels going into the end of the season I feel good about it. It’s all on our older guys, it’s really a credit to them. You’re led this time of year by your older guys, your captains. They’re the ones who deserve the credit. We’ve got a really quick turnaround.

lol

Congrats Yvan

For the season to end soon

My guess from Cam's social media is that he's back in the starting line up tonight

He's pretty curmudgeonly so no
