Somewhere between the Walmart Home office parking lot and the University of Arkansas quad

In case you were not there in the second half the student section ran a 'reverse Chucky' where they would boo all Michigan players except for Will Tschetter, whom they would cheer

The Goldilocks here is for them to continue to win at home and lose close on the road

Notes from UNL • Nebraska snapped an 8-game losing streak against Michigan dating back to the 2017-18 season with its 79-59 victory. Michigan had won 16 of 17 previous meetings dating back to when Nebraska joined the Big Ten • The win marked the fifth opponent this season that Nebraska snapped a losing streak of seven games or longer (Michigan State (11), Kansas State (7), Indiana (7) and Northwestern (7). • With the win, the Huskers improved to 17-8, which equals NU’s best 25-game mark since joining the Big Ten (2017-18). The last time NU had a better record thru its first 25 games was in 1991-92 (18-7) • Keisei Tominaga led the way for the Huskers with 19 points, his 11th game this season with 15+ points. Tominaga had 15 of his 19 points in the first half. He is averaging 19.0 points per game across his last three contests. • Josiah Allick tied or set season bests in both points (16) and rebounds (eight) in the win. Allick’s previous high point total was 15 against Northwestern while he had eight rebounds on three other occasions. • The Huskers finished 9-23 from the three-point line against the Wolverines, raising their season total to 237 which is the fifth most in program history in a single season. • Nebraska had a pair of double figure runs (13-0, 13-0) in the first half and now has 19 double-digit runs this season. • Rienk Mast had a career-high eight assists, topping his previous best of six set two other times, most recently against Northwestern on Jan. 20 • With the win, Nebraska improves to 15-1 at home, which is the most home wins since going 16-1 in 2017-18. • Nebraska held Michigan to a season-low 32.3 percent shooting. The Wolverines’ previous slow was 33.8 percent at Purdue • NU controlled the paint against Michigan, finishing the contest with a 38-18 advantage down low.

Ramel Lloyd's career disagrees

Don't recall him saying that

Put Allick in the 5+ rebound club

You'll need to move to Mullen if you want 93 on your license plate as that's the county number for Hooker

Nebraska 85 - Michigan 79 4 players

Nebraska Cornhuskers (16-8) vs Michigan Wolverines (8-15) Date: Saturday Feb 10th, 2024 Time: 5:30 pm Arena: PBA Broadcast: BTN Michigan Info Head Coach: Juwan Howard (5th Season) Location: Ann Arbor, MI Conference: B1G Nickname: Wolverines Point Spread: Nebraska by 9.5 Typical Rotation Depth: 8 KenPom rank: 97 Nota bene: Michigan has beaten Nebraska 16 out of the 17 times they've played since Nebraska joined the B1G It's a matchup of former NBA players who are also coaching their sons. Jace Howard plays for Juwan while Sam Hoiberg plays for Fred. While Juwan wasn't a head coach in the NBA, he was an assistant for the Heat for 6 seasons. Starting PG Dug McDaniel is on a unique academics-based suspension where he only plays in home games. He will not play in this game. Olivier Nkamhoua, like Derrick Walker, is a former Tennessee big man though their time with the Volunteers didn't overlap as Nkamhoua started the year that Walker left. Eli Rice appears to be out for this one. Seems important for Nebraska to get him back after the bye this week to provide more depth KenPom most used lineups PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 0 Dug McDaniel 5-11 175 So 4 Nimari Burnett 6-4 200 Sr 5 Terrance Williams 6-7 225 Sr 13 Olivier Nkamhoua 6-9 235 Sr 32 Tarris Reed 6-10 265 So 31.0 2 3 Jaelin Llewellyn 6-2 190 Sr 4 Nimari Burnett 6-4 200 Sr 5 Terrance Williams 6-7 225 Sr 13 Olivier Nkamhoua 6-9 235 Sr 32 Tarris Reed 6-10 265 So 12.3 Player to watch: Olivier Nkamhoua Finnish forward and Tennessee transfer Olivier Nkamhoua is the 2nd leading scorer on the team behind Dug McDaniel. Mostly slotting at the 4, Nkamhoua also spends time at the 5 which gives Michigan the option to have 5 shooters on the floor. His offensive numbers scream 'Rienk Mast but better at converting in the paint' to give you an idea of how dangerous he can be. Player to watch: Jaelin Llewellyn Last season the Princeton transfer PG came to Michigan to run the show while the Wolverines brought in freshman McDaniel as a backup. Eight games into the season, Llewellyn tore his ACL and McDaniel had to take over. This season Llewellyn didn't play his first game until Dec 2nd and was mostly riding the bench until this McDaniels suspension thing started. Now he averages 30+ minutes per game on the road and sometimes barely plays at home. Llewellyn functions more like a caretaker in his version of the Michigan offense where he brings the ball up the court though doesn't do much in terms of distribution. He isn't shooting much but is hitting a smoking 15-28 from 3 this season. (53.6%) Player to watch: Terrance Williams In addition to his defensive prowess, Williams has stepped up his offensive game and is shooting 39.1% from 3. His shot distribution is split between the 2 and 3 so he's an opportunistic scorer Player to watch: Tarris Reed In some ways the starting center for the Wolverines might be the most important player on the court today as he very well might determine if Nebraska will double in the post like they have most of the season or play more straight up like vs Northwestern. Reed finishes at high percentage in the paint and is their one true rim protector. He's not a threat from outside and is a terrible FT shooter. Others to watch Formrer McDonald's All-American Nimari Burnett is an all around efficient player with the caveat that he's a shooting guard who isn't particularly good at shooting. This is his 3rd school after Texas Tech and Alabama. 6'10' 215# backup center and Seton Hall transfer Tray Jackson is traditional center depth for the Wolverines. Beefy 6'8" 245# forward Will Tschetter has a remarkable 73.4% eFG% off the bench. Everyone else on the bench is depth including Juwan Howard's son Jace.

Starting lineup TBD because Lawrence liked coming off the bench Focus has been rebounding and taking care of the ball The Skinny: The Wolverines are once again underachieving relative to the amount of talent they tend to acquire and thus many see Juwan Howard being on the hot seat. However, one thing not to overlook here is the talented roster as Michigan has led at the end half of 10 of their 12 conference games and finally put together a complete game in a home win over a ranked Wisconsin team. One takeaway from all of this is regardless of how down any team in the conference appears to be, they're more than capable of knocking off a Nebraska team that isn't playing with high effort. Michigan is a particularly dangerous wounded adversary because their style is difficult for Nebraska to handle. Defensively the Wolverines run you off the 3 and effectively turn you into a drive to the basket squad. Offensively, Michigan prefers to do their damage from 3 though they also possess capable inside scoring. One last challenge is that they'll crash the offensive boards effectively. Despite these advantages their are plenty of downsides to the Wolverines as Nebraska should win the turnover battle. Juwan Howard's teams have always valued defending without fouling over generating turnovers. Meanwhile, the Michigan offense has been fairly turnover prone. They also give up plenty of offensive rebounds themselves. This is a plenty losable game for Nebraska but between the loss at Northwestern and Michigan's win expect Nebraska to be ready in this one and enough juice from the crowd to carry Nebraska should they find themselves to be the 11th conference foe out of 13 to be behind at the half to Michigan.

Michigan starting PG Dug McDaniel is still on his academics based suspension where he only plays home games and doesn't travel for road games.
