Huskers 73 Lions 72 4 players

Interestingly enough, that's almost exactly the list I would've given if asked to rank our players by efficiency. I would've listed both Horne and Taylor above Jack, but otherwise that order is spot on. So since it confirms my biases, I give the metric two thumbs up.

What?!? Really hope Tim misspoke or you misheard. Because Glynn is going to be expected to carry a huge load next year, especially at end of games.

Thought the same thing myself. But MJ drained it, so apparently it was the right call...

Actually, they offered him as soon as they heard his mom was pregnant. But due to minor technicalities (the fact that he wasn't born yet), none of the recruiting sites recognize the offer. You'll just have to trust me on this one: they were totally in on him before us. Oh yeah, and clearly he's a perfect fit for their system.

I dig 'em

They look like shorts to me. Is this the fauxback uni that was advertised a few months back?

Badgers 70 Huskers 60

I also appreciate the Up/Down indicator. I will periodically go back to previous weeks to see how I'm trending, and that saves me the time.

Bye Tom. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I'm sure the Iowagians will complain about 4 offensive fouls in the first 15 minutes, but all were clearly the right call. ANd other tha the Jok foul, they really weren't even close

Iowa 76 Nebraska 69

Mom looks like a cougar...and nothing like Elijah.

How does Ed go from a game time decision on Thursday, to not practicing Saturday and already scratched for Sunday? Not saying we're snake bit but...oh hey, is that a rattler over there?

Adopted?

I understood the charts. You were trying to use an obviously ridiculous correlation to prove that correlation does not equal causation. Really, I get it. But I found it equally ridiculous to dismiss huskerbaseball's research, when it was showing that the thing our team is the absolute worst at (defending the three) got bad at exactly the same time we brought in a guy who heavily influences our defense. In that scenario, it's not some giant logical fallacy to think that causation may be at play. And really, the thing that was bothersome is that you used a pithy response to try dismiss the conversation altogether. That happens all over the internet, but not usually on HHC. OK. I'm better now. Moving on...

1) Good point. I honestly hadn't thought about the % of three pointers attempted. So it is possible that we're doing a better job chasing shooters off the line this year (hence fewer attempts) but they're just doing a much better job of making them. That being said, % made seems like a better indicator once you're 20+ games into the year. That's a lot of shot attempts, so should balance out for the one or two nights when an opposing shooter gets insanely hot 2)Mo had a different type of athlete at WIU, so I would expect to see changes when he's given a roster of 4* dudes. Lewis was the one responsible for the 1-3-1 IIRC, but we only use that on 5% of our possessions. And while we don't have a coach with D.C. in his title, I seem to remember comments from Miles when he hired Mo that it was primarily for his defense-oriented brain. I could very well be wrong. But I've seen and/or read many interviews over the years where Mo is mentioned by name as coming up with the defensive gameplan. It's safe to say he's responsible for more than just 1/4 of our D.

Are we predicting the lineup for the season opener? Conference opener? NCAA Tournament (because, yes, we will be in it next year)? Because I think that there's a good chance the starting five will be different at each of those points in the season.

Reading that reminded me why I usually avoid reddit. Things spiral out of control quickly.

Ohhhhhh...so he was the guy...that, um...Mrs. Nee was fond of? Ah. *cough, cough* Er...never mind.

huskerbaseball13 isn't the only person who has questioned whether Molinari is the right guy for the job. Also, I'm pretty sure you understand correlation vs. causation better than you implied with the margarine vs. divorce graph. When hiring a guy who is basically our defensive coordinator results in miserable 3pt% defense, that's almost assuredly causation. Especially with back-to-back-to-back years as negative data points, which were preceded by back-to-back years as positive data points.

Can someone explain all the Jose Ramos comments? I was 5 years old in 1991, so have no memory of whatever y'all are hinting at.

Edited the original post based on current known injury status. Although at this point, keeping up-to-date on our team's health feels a lot like herding cats.

Not an official stat by any means, but it felt like MSU attempted a ton of shots with the clock expiring and made 90% of them. So either they're the most clutch team in the country (unlikely), or we just caught them on the wrong night (likely).
