Game Thread Nebraska v Purdue [8:00pm Peacock] (Win 88-72)

[lee_carvallo_12]

MN is actually playing descent so far. Neb just needs to learn how to win on the road.

Was going to say this. Sucks that we played our worst half of basketball in years at Minn, but they're better than I thought they'd be.

Great win, great fucking night...I'm massively hungover. I can't believe I gave away my tickets to listen Jac Collinsworth on Peacock...that guy is a moron.

Yes, just the absolute worst. The guy has zero juice. What kind of blackmail does Cris Collinsworth possess on NBC execs?

I think it’s hilarious that he sounds exactly like his dad

It's like they created a legacy position for his kid. I thought he was bad a football play by play...he's 100x worse for basketball. Sadly, I really like Robbie Hummel. He's probabaly the best analyst for CBB, but Collinsworth made that broadcast sound like amateur hour.

I guess even though Cockeye sucks it's another shot at a Quad 1 win per Robin.

Didn't realize that Nebraska is currently 3-2 in Quad 1.

They really had Collinsworth on the call over Eagle's kid? Damn.

Yes. He’s terrible

KState moved back into a Q1 win. They are right on the edge though so it could move back to a Q2 win.

So still just a 1-in-5 chance of making the tournament? That's a sobering slap in the face.

Well, it was just over 8% prior to the game, so...

Yeah, that doesn't seem right.

Don’t believe any of that. All you need to know is that buckets don’t lie.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I don't know anything about the underlying model but I'd guess the probabilities are generally low with this much season left

Depends on whose methodology you believe, I guess:

 

[BIGSTICK67]

A good buddy of mine back East is a big Purdue fan and played under Painter at Southern Illinois and a current friend of mine here in Memphis played at Purdue. Here are some of their combined takes:

-Neither was even mad. We just outplayed/hustled them.

-Outside of Edey they have no other big men. It’s Edey and a bunch of guards.

-Too many turnovers by Purdue. At one point late in the second half the turnover margin for Purdue was +6.

-Hot shooting + hostile home crowd = win every time

Nothing about Fred and Sam are the man...err men?

I wouldn't believe anything that high

Probably...the projected wins is also at 20.8, so....
