My predictions in past _FANalyses have been pretty terrible.

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU PICK THE HUSKERS?!
:curse:

Meh. We should win if we play as I expect, but if we don't (as we did in all the others I predicted) then we'll lose. It really doesn't matter what I say.

I hope we schedule a non-con with them.

But they never play how we expect them to! :angry:

will hurt next year's SOS unnecessarily.

i think I'll go with Ken on this one. 38%. :cry:

Now we are doomed... :runaway:
It's hard to imagine anyone who enjoyed Nebraska's biggest basketball win in 17 years more than Doc Sadler, his coaching staff, his players and his support staff, which includes an athletic director who has stuck firmly behind his head coach's efforts to resurrect the program.
That's why Tom Osborne was asked to visit a jubilant locker room last Saturday, so he could remind the Huskers how quickly they need to come back to earth after they reached heights they haven't seen in nearly two decades with a 70-67 win over Big 12 leader Texas.
"That's why he's a Hall-of-Fame coach," Sadler said of Osborne. "He's had lots of big wins like that, and he knows how hard it is to come back and get the same kind of focus and emotion from everyone involved."
Osborne said Monday that he only speaks from experience. "Sometimes, you can get so caught up celebrating a big win that you don't take care of business the next game," he said. "It's happened to teams I've coached, and I just wanted to let them know how important it is to refocus and understand why you need to take advantage of what you worked so hard to achieve in the first place."
Next up for the Huskers, of course, is Wednesday's 8 p.m. ESPNU nationally televised game against Kansas State at the Devaney Center. Possible NCAA Basketball Tournament bids are on the line, not to mention separation between two teams with identical 6-6 records in the Big 12.
Home games can be killers after emotional highs, and Osborne will never forget how his team upset top-ranked Oklahoma, 17-14, in 1978, only to come back the next week and drop a 35-31 decision to Missouri in Lincoln.
"It's not that we didn't try hard or give great effort in that game," he recalled. "We did. It's just important to re-channel whatever emotion you have left into the next week's practices. You always play like you practice."
Sadler agrees. "There is no doubt that Coach Osborne is right," he said. "The K-State game will not be won on Wednesday night. It will be won on how well we practice Monday and Tuesday. I appreciated him coming into our locker room and making that point."

Plus we have been playing far more consistent basketball.

That's like LHC Bill Snyder saying that to them. They don't give a f*ck

_FAN guarantees victory! I'm gonna spend all game just rolling at the pak shenanigans that bothering paying attention to the hoops.

_Fan to the numbers show that we are fouling less in the most recent games? It seems as though we are. That could be good for us. I think a key is an aggressive JamSam. Not overly aggressive but enough to get to the line 6-7 times (he is really stroking fts in B12 play) and to compliment that with 3 or 4 more junk baskets inside.
I also like how the new offense has a chance to pull Almeda away from the basket on defense, neutralizing him as a defender and on the defensive glass.

It's been better at times, but still up and down. This chart from a couple days ago shows how we are doing compared to our average offensive FTR (42.6) and defensive FTR (52.1) in Big 12 games only. Defensively we've been better, but very inconsistent getting to the FT line ourselves. Of course our defensive FTR is really high because of early bad FTR games at OSU and aTm.

CK as a "human foul machine" and a frontcourt that pursues rebounds with "near comic zeal" are priceless.
Vegas favors the Nubs by 1.5

So, Nubs as a -1.5 means the 'Cats are favored by 1.5? I've been reading these all wrong--all six handicapping services.

it's dr. tom's b-day! :runaway:
-
Offensively, value possessions and take advantage of opportunites when they arise(can we shoot 40%+ from the floor? :crossfingers:)
Defensively, no easy buckets!(I only remember us getting burned for 1 backdoor in the 1st matchup. ONE :ksu:)*
60-57 KSU Cats
*Sprads, If you see Lance Jeter coming at you with a full of head of steam in the open court and the game is not absolutely on the line, this EMAW'r won't hold it against you if you just grab his arm or plain get the hell out of the way, lose the battle, win the war bro.

We have been working on our offense. :pbj:
Running a small line up with the house-sized kid up top on Curt's back, lines up pretty well for us, I would think.....unless they zone us :ohno:

Add the line to the team to make them even. Nubbs - 1.5 means they are favored.
