TWO THINGS THIS HHCC ROUND: 1) Score prediction for Nebraska vs. Stetson (as usual). 2) (BONUS -5 points) Predicting the exact number of Nebraska bench players (non-starters for the game) with 1+ points during this game (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "5").

Just when you thought he would only ruin his own kids' lives...

I'm not sure what to make of this thread so far. Either we're performing well enough to warrant some excitement, or our expectations were so low coming into the season. I'd assume the former since we probably have our 2nd best roster (arguably best, but I measure some of that by performance+outcome) under Miles' tenure here.

Here's some footage from last night's game...

One down, two to go.

I thought that was on auto loop for a second...

I don't want to jinx it, but we haven't had our annual five-game losing streak yet this year either, so we're off to a pretty good start. Only sitting at a L2 max streak right now. So there's that.

Probably any year that Shang Ping and JBD were playing.

Loving the discussion.

Any sort of coaching talk at this time seems moot point. For the fans who want him to stay, Miles has done enough this season to justify staying. For the fans who want him to leave, Miles hasn't done enough this season to justify staying. For the fans on the fence, they just want to see good basketball. Conference play will shake things up one way or another. Let's just enjoy the holidays first.

Why not face stiffer competition and create a Classic in December with -- Nebraska, Samford, Incarnate Word, and UMBC?

It's hard for me to give a coach a 'B' with an 82-91 (34-58) record. But I get your point.

I need to see hard statistical evidence of this.

Yeah, I wish I noted the time in the game, but it was a little bit after they showed clips from the last two possessions of the Kansas/Nebraska game.

This seems worthy of discussion or criticism... During the Kansas/UNO game, they showed highlights of the win over Nebraska and the commentators said: "I know Nebraska's not a good team." Followed by: "Miles would make a great Summit League coach." Well that seems like some irrelevant bantor in this UNO/KU game, truthful, untruthful, or not.

Commentators after showing the KU win over Nebraska: "I know Nebraska's not a good team." "Miles would make a great Summit League coach."

It's funny how I can watch a UNO game like this one and feel bad for the guys. Sure would be nice to see them be competitive. On the otherhand when I watch a Creighton game, it's only because we're playing them... because I don't care how they do otherwise.

We're sitting here at 7-5 (1-1) right now with 3 more non-conference games to go. Of the 81 predictions made by HHCC participants, the average estimate for wins is 9.1 (highest was 11, lowest was 8). Predicted Number of Non-Conference Wins: 1-7 wins: 0 8 wins: 13 9 wins: 45 10 wins: 22 11 wins: 1 12-13 wins: 0 Preseason prediction stats are fun and all, but we've had weeks to see what product we have on the court right now. Where do you think we stand? Are we above preseason expectations? Below? On par?

Wile E. Coyote - 88 Road Runner - 74

In terms of competitiveness, I'm curious to see if any opinions change compared to Osborne if it were a basketball coach who had 4 national titles, 13 conference championships, 6th winningest coach in NCAA hoops history, and won 88.5% of his games over an 18 year span. One can dream, right?
