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

They're both PGs currently in the class of 2021. Why would one come here if the other was committed?

Can someone let Robin know he's wrong? Our topic thread clearly states 4 stars.

I have never been suspended for liking a shitty tweet sent my way

Welcome to the FC. Your official packet it be delivered via a cross court driver

Kavas retweeted this last night

I'd ask for at least 2-3 shot attempts in 15 minutes.

You guys are really mucking this up. Dave Feldman said this, not Dakich. I'm listening to the broadcast and it seems that Feldman is not up to speed and Dakich is just opinionated (in my opinion his opinion rate is better than our FT rate) Just a hunch that part of the problem with the broadcast is Michigan went on a 19-3 run in the 2nd half.

our poorness on defense is going to be amplified by our high tempo

Nebraska 79 - Michigan 74

Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-13) vs Michigan Wolverines (11-8) Date: Tuesday Jan 28th, 2020 Time: 6:00 p.m. Arena: Pinnacle Bank Arena (15,000, 29th largest in D-I) Broadcast: BTN Michigan Info Head Coach: Juwan HowardLocation: Ann Arbor, MIConference: B1GNickname: Wolverines Shirt not to wear: Yellow, Blue, NikeLast time out: Lost to Illinois Line: Michigan by 4.5 Typical Rotation Depth: 7-9 KenPom rank: 30 KenPom home court advantage calculation: 4.0 (25th in D-I) Offensive Style: To the rim Defensive Style: Guarding the 3 Key Loses: Zavier Simpson - suspended Key injury: Isaiah Livers is day to day Hoiberg Presser Cheatham Presser Most of the focus was talking about the tragic death of Kobe Bryant. Hoiberg mentioned he tried to hire Howard as an assistant while he was coaching the Bulls. 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. With starting point guard Zavier Simpson out for this game look for the Wolverines to try and feed the big man vs this undersized Nebraska team. He's also a formidable rim protector. Players to watch: Isaiah Livers Will he play tonight? If he point spread is any indication, the answer is yes.The 6'7" 230lb Livers is one of the most efficient players in the conference and Michigan losing one of its best 3pt shooters has most likely contributed to their 4 game losing streak Roster points 9 0 David DeJulius 6-0 190 So 55 Eli Brooks 6-1 185 Jr 21 Franz Wagner 6-9 205 Fr 23 Brandon Johns 6-8 235 So 15 Jon Teske 7-1 265 Sr 2.7 This little used roster is a possible starting lineup for Michigan. If Livers is available, he's probably starting for Brandon Johns. The other thing about the Wolverines is their lack of guards as DeJulius and Brooks are the only two ball handling guards with major minutes DeJulius is most likely the starting the starting PG and will possibly play a career high number of minutes (31 vs Purdue) Starting 2 guard Brooks will likely share in the ball handling duties Franz is the younger brother of former star Mo and brings an inconstant in and out game. It's possible he plays some time at the 2 or even the 1 tonight. 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 Soph Adrien Nunez and Fr Cole Bajema are a couple of high ranked out of HS guys not currently in the rotation. Look for them to get PT tonight and to be candidates for the 'no one saw this coming' guy 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. I'll mention walk-ons Rico Ozuna-Harrison and Luke Wilson as potential ball handlers in case of emergency The Skinny: If any team has had Nebraska's number in conference it has been the Wolverines whom Nebraska finally beat with aplomb back in 2018. The Huskers are 1-10 vs Michigan and Jon Beilein since joining the conference. Enter new coach Juwan Howard who started off hot, guiding the Wolverines to #4 in the AP poll at the start of the season. 2020 has not been kind to Michigan with the Wolverines going just 1-5 thus far in the new year. Michigan finds itself on the road without starting PG Zavier Simpson to battle Nebraska for the right to stay out of 13th place in the conference. How well can Nebraska deny Michigan the ball and how well can the Wolverines feed the post without the leading assist man in the conference? Look for Nebraska to deny and then double down in the post. Switching or zone seems in order as the Huskers won't want their post players to follow the Michigan bigs out to the 3pt line. Someone has to step up tonight for Michigan. Will it be someone unexpected? The Wolverines will try to spread and if this cold shooting Michigan team can find their range with our Adidas balls, it will be a long night. Offensively the Huskers will need to finish at the rim against this Michigan team that runs people off the 3pt line as well as anyone in the country. It certainly won't hurt for Nebraska that Simpson is one of the best on-ball defenders in the conference. Cam Mack should find some easier sledding penetrating into the lane and spraying balls out to the corners. Look for Nebraska to be the one to snap their losing streak tonight.

On his deathbed, Citizen @basketballjones whispered 'Tonje'

Whatever Simpson did, he's not allowed to travel with the team here.

On Livers. My hunch is that due to gamesmanship he'll be a game time decision and then won't play. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2020/01/25/michigan-basketball-isaiah-livers-injury-illinois/4576867002/

My pick via Prediction: Rutgers 78 - Nebraska 66

I'm guessing that even before the Simpson suspension we were going to deny/double Teske in this one. Having one of the best passing PGs in the league out will help in this effort tremendously.
