THIS is what freaking defense looks like!!

How do we think having a healthy Connor would impact this team?

he would have probably taken minutes away from Frager. the extra playing time probably helped Frager develop, and he's a much more complete player than Essegian

What I was thinking.
Not really needed this season, probably a good thing he got injured.

I think there’s a role for Essegian, but maybe not on this years team. If he can figure out his defensive rotation he can be a valuable player next year. Maybe a 6th man gunslinger.

NCAA NET ranking has Nebraska at #6 today. We'll see if the polls can figure that out. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

When did Pomeroy become complete trash??? Nebraska ranked as #13. Their metrics on offense and defense vs other groups metrics using the same data have literally no correlation. Its like there is a thumb on the scale ...

Pomeroy was a great band out of the Manhattan, KS, and were popularized in the late 90's early 2000s with hits like Roboflow, Rebound, and Summernights. It's hard to keep putting out great music for nearly 30 years...Pomeroy's decline was inevitable at some point. But they still bring a great amount of nostalgia whenever their unique sound comes through the speakers.

I saw them in a bar in Clifton, NY in 2004. There were no more than 12 people there. The next week I saw Jimmy Eat World at the same bar, completely packed!

Yeah, it was great!

I mean, ISU got beat twice last week by double digits. It's surprising they're still 6.

A man named Casey? Oof

 

[Boondock_St_Sker]

Does that ass hat actually get a vote?

That team had a negative assist to turnover ratio, couldn't win a road game, and only beat one good team all season.

Couldn't win a road game? They beat Northwestern, Rutgers, Minnesota, and Wisconsin on the road. I wouldn't call going 4-5 on the road in conference a team that couldn't win on the road.

With the rise of Frager, Essegian's playing time would depend on how well he's shooting the 3. If he's making shots he'd 100% be playing. It's nice that we're going to get him back next year, because both Sandfort and Frager will be starters. Then to have someone like Essegian coming off the bench will be nice.

Sorry, I meant to type couldn't win a road game against a winning team. All those games were Q3 or Q4 games against teams with losing records.

Generational wordsmiths.
