Good eye. Looks like he has retired from on the court reffing - https://www.aseaofblue.com/2023/5/23/23733843/john-higgins-retires-on-court-officiating

Doubt there would be that much action on this game to tilt it one way or the other and you're right about John Q Jaysker. We'll see what Vegas spits out on Saturday night.

1976-77 Media guide, referred to as "NU Sports Center Arena" 1977-78 Media guide is where it was referred to as "NU Sports Complex Arena"

From what I can tell at some point someone fat fingered the letter on the season by season records and eventually when they re-did the coaches by winning percentage instead of year they used the incorrect abbreviation. To me the bigger mystery is when did William Gordon Kline pass away? He was actually a law professor who ended up coaching and then wrote some sports books in the 1930s. After that, doesn't seem to be any record of him in part because he didn't have any kids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._Kline

William Gordon Kline

At least 49 years. In 1974-75 media guide, under the list of coaches he's W.G. Kline. Under seasons, he's W.E. Kline.

Probably more like opening at 2 and going from there depending on action. Both KenPom and Bartorvik have the game with Creighton as a 1 point favorite and the Vegas Lines tend to mirror that. In that regard, the result of the Jay's game vs Oklahoma St could potentially move that line if the result is unexpected.

The record is 696 in 1991 in 34 games. That's 20.4 per game! All of our assist records per year were between 1983 and 1986 and I'd attribute that to style. A few things likely contributed to this and @Norm Peterson I think this is where making more shots mattered. For the Moe Iba teams, it was having Dave Hoppen from 1983-86 (and Brian Carr starting in 1984). In 1986 two things happened: The 3pt line was officially introduced and Danny Nee became the head coach. Nee ran a high pass, 2pt centric offense and the 3pt line would open up more space for easier makes. Nee's teams would often be among the top 20 for assists in the coutnry. If we make a post season run there is a chance we can crack the top 10 just by playing 34+ games.

I'd attribute it to more passing as opposed to more shots made given our assist/basket made% is currently at an all-time high for the Hoiberg era I'd also attribute it to us taking more 3pt shots as the vast majority of 3pt shots as the majority of our shots come with a shooter set to receive a pass. Us making more shots and/or the home scorer tending to be more generous might account for slight increases in total volume.

Through 7 Lawrence - 23 Coleman - 20 Mast - 20 Williams - 17

The cap on eFG% is 150% because a 3pt make counts as 1.5 makes. Thus your nitpick is more like 43.9% because his FG% is 56.1%.

You know we're having a good year when we're nitpicking about a guy who currently has a 64.6% eFG%

We're scoring approximately 9 more points a game due to FTs vs last year

I think the Nebraska media guide has incorrectly been referring to William G. Kline as "W. E. Kline" for at least the last 13 years. Media Guide 1925 Nebraska Yearbook

Thanks, I updated it. I assume I had "first 8-0 team since 77-78" on my mind.

From 8 years ago (things probably have changed) https://adamcwisports.blogspot.com/p/every-possession-counts.html If you want to deep dive into how well ranking systems perform, there is a ranking of the ranking systems https://www.markmoog.com/ranking_analysis The big take away is that generally they're all fairly good.

Notes from UNL •-With the win, Nebraska improved to 7-0 for the fifth time in school history and the first time since the 1992-93 season *-Nebraska’s seven-game win streak is the longest since an 11-game win streak during the 2010-11 season. *-Nebraska finished the game 19-of-20 from the foul line, marking the second straight game NU shot at least 90 percent from the line (min. 10 att.). It is NU’s best performance (min. 10 att.) since going 12-of-12 at Minnesota on March 3, 2012. For 20 attempts or more, it is NU’s best foul shooting performance since at least the 2001-02 season. *-Nebraska has scored 80-or-more points in each of the last four games and in six of seven games this season.

HE also tied his career high with four rebounds. *-Juwan Gary had 13 points off the bench, as NU has had at least one double-figure scorer off the bench in all seven games.

Nebraska doing so well no one is bringing up the godawful ref crew of guys that didn't get to go to tropical tournament locations
