Game Thread Nebrasketball Game #15: New Hampshire - Tuesday, December 30, 8:00pm BTN

[BIGSTICK67]

BTW, according to KenPom, New Hampshire has the 355th ranked offense in D1 basketball. There are 365 teams total in D1 basketball.

The Huskers have played 7 top 100 offenses so far this season, including 6 in the top 6.

New Hampshire will either look completely lost on the offensive end or some random nobody, who averages 5 ppg, will hit 7 of 10 threes and keep them in the game for a half.

Nate Loenser and the boys need to be on their game this week.

I hope they just bury them right away. Don't fuck about. Come out with @Illinois level of intensity and give me 12 Justin Bollis minutes at the end

I'll be covering Tuesday night's non-conference finale against New Hampshire from Las Vegas, but I wanted to pass along an update on Ugnius Jarusevicius.

From what I heard on Monday, the 6-foot-11, 245-pound senior is in "a much better place" with his lingering back injury than he was leading up to the North Dakota game. As long as he gets through the next 24 hours without any setbacks, I would expect him to make his regular-season debut on Tuesday night.

I still think the Huskers will remain very cautious in easing him back into the mix. I'd expect him to see around 5-10 minutes (no more than 10) off the bench, depending on how the game goes.

His role in NU's lineup will probably remain day-to-day from there, but it sounds like Jarusevicius is "trending in the right direction" to rejoin the Huskers.

He may not want to do it but a redshirt year has to be really, really tempting at this stage

Might seem like a lot of points, and it wouldn't be shocking at all to see Nebraska come out lethargic after the break. However, New Hampshire is terrible.
