The fun thing about this is that Michigan is one of the worst teams in Div-1 in generating turnovers.

As noted elsewhere, Cam Mack is spending his time at home posting on social media

Sounds like it's a one game suspension so likely he's back for Minnesota

Kent said that Mack didn't make the trip so whatever happened didn't happen in Michigan

A good way to beat expectations is to lower them

Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-22) vs #25 Michigan Wolverines (18-11) Date: Thurday March 5th, 2020 Time: 5:30 p.m. Arena: Crisler Center (12,707, 46th largest in D-I) Broadcast: FS1 Michigan Info Head Coach: Juwan HowardLocation: Ann Arbor, MIConference: B1GNickname: Wolverines Shirt not to wear: Yellow, Blue, Nike Line: Michigan by 17 Typical Rotation Depth: 7-9 KenPom rank: 30 Offensive Style: To the rim Defensive Style: Guarding the 3 Players to watch: Jon Teske The big 7'1" center leads the team in scoring and rebounding. Teske takes and makes enough 3s where you have to honor that ability. He's also a formidable rim protector. Players to watch: Zavier Simpson The senior PG didn't play in Lincoln though the team was fine without him. Notorious for having a poor outside shot coming into this year, Simpson is hitting on a respectable 35% this year. Roster points PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 3 Zavier Simpson 6-0 190 Sr 55 Eli Brooks 6-1 185 Jr 2 Isaiah Livers 6-7 230 Jr 21 Franz Wagner 6-9 205 Fr 15 Jon Teske 7-1 265 Sr 20.8 Michigan's roster is at full strength and they've played well despite dropping Livers is one of Michigan's best 3pt shooters Starting 2 guard Brooks has struggled with his shot in conference play Franz is the younger brother of former star Mo and has really come on in the last 5 games. Nebraska will have to work hard to keep forward Brandon Johns off the boards. Johns is typically the 5th option on offense and can clog the paint when paired with Teske DeJulius is guard depth Soph Adrien Nunez and Fr Cole Bajema are a couple of high ranked out of HS guys not currently in the rotation. Centers Austin Davis and Colin Castleton are both traditional post players used not only as depth for Teske but will also play with him. Michigan won't have any hangups about trying to match up with Nebraska's small line up. The Skinny: This isn't a particularly good matchup for Nebraska. Michigan runs people off the 3pt line better than most anyone and Nebraska is at their worst when they turn into a hero ball driving team. Offensively they're going to try and run everything into the paint but will be content to take open threes when Nebraska inevitably sells out to stop it. Feels like you're asking this Nebraska team if they feel lucky on Michigan senior night and the answer is probably no. Feels like we're due for a respectable night of FT makes or else some other little victory. While they most likely our looking ahead to Maryland, the Wolverines also still have a bad taste in their mouth from Sunday's loss at Ohio St. While Nebraska seems to show up when you least expect it, I don't expect that twist tonight.

He probably won't end up at Nebraska but there would be a good chance he'd hit over 40% here because he wouldn't be the focal point of the offense here.

Me waiting for a tweet that Kobe Webster has heard from Nebraska feels the opposite of me waiting for us to go to the FT line

“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.
