You are not wrong about Pearl, but also it is unquestionable that he produces results. I would be over the moon if the Huskers had him as coach and produced the same results as he has at AU.

yes. https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule/season/1990-91

Looks like big ol tit is the Big Ten player of the week! Congrats Bryce!

Penn State is the head scratcher for me. Ain't played nobody yet. Yeah, they beat Purdue but this year's Purdue team does not look like anything special. But that's what happens when you game the metrics by blowing out overmatched opponents. Reminds me a little bit of the 2018-19 Husker team.

I am old enough to remember when CJ was going through a funk in 2022-23 and many folks thought he'd be a candidate to leave the team at semester break.

the '91 Husker team was a two point loss to Murray State away from a 17-0 start. I don't think we've played them since, here's hoping for a little payback in Hawaii.

And, technically, a tangential Big Ten conference reference too!

I heard they got Tyus Edney'd

This game was at State Farm Center in Atlanta. Not that it matters much when you lose by 38 points.

Hey Dimes, did you update the Meah Dunk Tracker today? He got at least one last night I'm sure.

12 teams are 1-1 after the first round of Big Ten games. This is gonna be a wild ride.

and per @hskr4life's request here is the conference rankings: Ranking of conferences by NetRtg of team expected to go .500 in conference play Conference Rating Conference Rating 1 Southeastern Conference +19.68 17 Coastal Athletic Association -4.13 2 Big Ten Conference +16.71 18 Big South Conference -4.38 3 Big 12 Conference +16.67 19 Horizon League -5.27 4 Big East Conference +13.69 20 Mid American Conference -5.61 5 Atlantic Coast Conference +10.31 21 Big Sky Conference -5.84 6 Mountain West Conference +5.98 22 Summit League -6.26 7 West Coast Conference +4.77 23 ASUN Conference -6.77 8 Atlantic 10 Conference +4.33 24 America East Conference -7.04 9 Conference USA +1.94 25 Southland Conference -7.44 10 American Athletic Conference +1.85 26 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference -8.82 11 Missouri Valley Conference +0.40 27 Patriot League -8.94 12 Big West Conference -1.65 28 Ohio Valley Conference -11.80 13 Ivy League -1.92 29 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference -13.42 14 Western Athletic Conference -2.01 30 Northeast Conference -14.46 15 Southern Conference -3.00 31 Southwestern Athletic Conference -14.62 16 Sun Belt Conference -3.82 We're just barely holding on to 2nd place. Got some good chances to help widen that gap today, need Purdue to pull out a win against Texas A&M today and we should also be rooting heavily for Illinois, UCLA and Ohio State today too. Honestly, it would probably be nice if Creighton could somehow get the upset in Tuscaloosa (but I'm not gonna be holding my breath on that happening, they're a massive underdog). Either way the outcome of that game will be decent for us.
