I left @uneblinstu name off of the topic title so he wouldn't be associated with the stink from this game I've been doing this thing where I don't post after games so I was somewhat surprised no one bothered to make one of these. Apparently this was the 'how much can these fans take' point raised by Sipple Cheatham had a bounce back game and that very much likely was the reason he led the team in minutes with 35. No one else played over 30. Kavas and Arop made the most of their garbage time minutes. Kavas pumped in 8 points in 8 minutes while Arop chipped in 4 in 3. 8-19 on the FT line and 2-9 in conference. You might think this is rock bottom but St Louis and Northwestern are currently occupying those spots, respectively. We get a week to stew in this before Iowa

He's a talented passer when he does pass. Also he has the same number of assists as Thor while playing 170+ less minutes

Not sure how much this changes when he might play against better competition but he easily appears to be our best rebounder when on the court.

Could someone make a Teddy Allen Free Throw Hype video?

Watkins hasn't started for the last 4 games and I doubt he will tonight

Penn St 84 - Nebraska 76

Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-13) vs #24 Penn State Nittany Lions (15-5) Date: Saturday Feb 1st, 2020 Time: 6:00 p.m. Arena: Pinnacle Bank Arena (15,000, 29th largest in D-I) Broadcast: BTN Halftime: The Amazing Sladek Penn St. Info Head Coach: Pat Chambers Location: University Park, PA Conference: B1G Nickname: Nittany Lions Mascot: The Nittany Lion Conference Record: 0-4 Typical Rotation Depth: 9 Spread: Penn State by 8.5 KenPom rank: 19 KenPom home court advantage calculation: 4.0 (25th in D-I) Offensive Style: High Tempo Defensive Style: Guarding the 3 Players to watch: Lamar Stevens Stevens is a lot like James Palmer where he's a volume scorer where you just try and weather what's he's doing and try to make him beat you from outside. Stevens averages 16.7 a game but has struggled shooting 24.6%. Look for him at spots tonight to be the small ball center if Penn St really wants to cause some havoc. Players to watch: Myreon Jones Among the three guys who mainly shoot 3s for Penn St (Myles Dread, Curtis Jones), Myreon is the one knocking them down at a better than average rate, currently sitting at 39.6%. Myreon is probably the point guard when Jamari Wheeler isn't on the court but Penn St has a lot of ball handlers so it's not all that important We are Penn State players Myreon Jones and Curtis Jones....no relation Roster points PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 5 Jamari Wheeler 6-1 170 Jr 0 Myreon Jones 6-3 175 So 1 Seth Lundy 6-6 219 Fr 11 Lamar Stevens 6-8 225 Sr 21 John Harrar 6-9 240 Jr 12.0 2 5 Jamari Wheeler 6-1 170 Jr 12 Izaiah Brockington 6-4 200 Jr 2 Myles Dread 6-4 215 So 11 Lamar Stevens 6-8 225 Sr 24 Mike Watkins 6-9 257 Sr 8.1 Penn St typically has a 2 center rotation (Harrar/Watkins) with Stevens mostly at the 4 and then the other 6 guys rotating spots. Wheeler is the starting pg but he's more a defensive player and will be charged with containing Mack. Offensively he's not a big threat to score and is turnover prone Frosh Lundy has been inserted into the starting lineup the last 4 games due to his 3pt shooting ability Center John Harrar isn't at all the threat that Watkins is but numbers would indicate that Penn St performs better with him on the court. He's also become a starter for the last 4 games. Myles Dread's poor shooting from the outside has him out of the starting lineup Former Indiana and Okie St player Curtis Jones has come on in the last couple of games, scoring in double digits St Bonnie's transfer Brockington is a defensive player in the mold of Josh Reaves. His 3pt shooting didn't follow in the transfer Mike Watkins is still a force on the boards and the best rim protector on the team. The problem is how slow footed the big man is for this team who wants to run and can be exploited by mobile 5s. He also clogs the lane for guys like Stevens. The Skinny: This shouldn't be one of those Nebraska - Penn St rock fights of the past. Pat Chambers has his team playing at a similar tempo to Nebraska and Lions very much look like they're finally going to make the tournament in his ninth year. This could also be his first team to win on the road at Nebraska. Offensively Chambers is pushing the pace this year so this game has the makings of a track meet. Look for Penn St, with their starting lineup of shooting and speed surrounding Stevens to try and open up a lead off the bat. At points given their obvious height advantage look for Penn St to slow it down and work the ball inside. Defensively Penn St is one of the top teams in the conference but their inability to defend without fouling nor to secure rebounds at an elite level has really held them back. Nebraska's 5 out offense should give this team fits at times. The chess match of centers could be interesting as if you're looking for an excuse to start Cross and save Yvan's bulk for Watkins, tonight is that night. Cross vs Watkins is a battle of guys who won't be able to guard each other well. Like most every game, Nebraska is going to attempt to turn Penn St into a 3pt shooting team and hope they don't get hot. This typically works better at home than on the road. Look for enough running in this game to make Nebraska feel good about themselves offensively. Will that be enough to beat this better team? Prediction: Penn St 84 - Nebraska 76 View full article

Doesn't he seem like he could be Thor's backup at the 4 right now for 5-10 a game?

Definitely has been on fire. Here he was in the 2nd half of the Michigan game trying to fire off a 3pt arrow

2019-20 Nebraska Basketball = Barzini

It was Mike Schaefer who made that argument, not Sipple/Jake. TBH, theirs are the only radio basketball segments I listen to with any sort of regularity.

I'm about one more loss from starting a #FreeKavas movement out of desperation

Barttorvik/Kenpom don't include stats against non-Div 1 opponents

I wouldn't think Sallis is coming here to play off the ball.

Our last three commits have been JUCOs. A 1-and-done is exactly the type of guy were are looking for to quickly build this program like we are trying to do. If LSU and Washtington had better coaches they probably would have made the tourney.

If Sallis is good enough to only need to play in college for one year, the possibility of surrounding himself with a veteran team seems like a selling point to me. (Especially if Mack goes pro a year or two early)

That site doesn't adjust their rankings for the strength of the opponents faced. The numbers are a bit better

Post game notes *-Cam Mack reached double figures for the 19th time in 21 games, finishing with a team-high 19 points. Mack’s five 3-pointers tonight is a career high, topping his previous best of four against Rutgers on Jan. 24. He had had 19-or-more points in three of the Huskers’ last four contests*-Mack finished with nine assists, the and climbed into Nebraska’s single-season top-10 list on Tuesday. He moved past Tyronn Lue (136, 1997) and Cookie Belcher (138, 1999) into ninth place with 142 assists.*-Kevin Cross reached double figures for the seventh time this season, the most since Glynn Watson Jr. had 16 double figures games in 2015-16, finishing with 17 points off the bench. Cross' 17-point night matched his highest total in Big Ten play.*-Cross matched his career with three 3-points (also at Wisconsin and at Northwestern).*-Haanif Cheatham’s 17 points were his highest total since scoring 17 against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 29.*-Nebraska’s 16 assists matched NU’s highest total since Dec. 15.

If he does respond it will be along the line of pointing out your tweets are due to Nebraska losing. Would he be wrong? Would you be tweeting if we had won? I get he was 'get off my lawn guy' with Mack but I don't necessarily think his response to Wagner getting Bo Borowski'ed was some sort of inconsistency here. Bo was across the court when he T'ed him up...it wasn't the guy who could here what Wagner was actually saying.

We are going out to see Whitt today before he comes here this weekend. We appear to be hot and heavy
