Game Thread Nebrasketball Game #21: @ #3 Michigan - Tuesday, January 27th, 6:00pm Peacock

Field of 68 podcast had Dusty on. He seems like an ok guy to me. They opened the interview asking how impressed he was with Nebraska. Even he should agree NE made more of a statement in the loss considering we were down 2 guys and took it down to the wire on the road.

He made some bullshit comment about having to adjust to us playing small ball.

The comment that got me though was Dusty said in the 2nd half the refs let the players get more physical and that helped slow down our shooters. The "teams" adjusted.

IDK. Sounds more like he could be a douche vs. an OK guy.

To be fair, I don't know the guy or his personality whatsoever so maybe he is OK.

Dusty knows he stole one. He also knows that committee members are going to consider the circumstances of their win when weighing it against other Quad 1A wins and it may effect who gets the top overall seed or a higher 1 seed with an easier bracket.

So he’s got to talk this win up a bit.

Hoiberg and Loesner coached circles around him and he knows it.

Definitely a douche.

Not if we have 1 seed aspirations but of course it'll depend on our final regular season record.

• 29-2 all but guarantees us a 1 seed, regardless of the B1G tournament
• 28-3, with a quick exit (lose quarters) puts us in as a 2 seed
• 27-4/26-5 will put us, most likely, in as a 3 seed unless we win the B1G tournament then a 2 seed is back on the table

Reminder to everyone; this year, all B1G teams qualify for the B1G tournament. The top 4 are automatically in the quarterfinals like years past.

@SlumpBuster you asked about this, so here's what I have as of today. Better feel on this after next weeks games are finished.

Love it thank you

Because everyone but Curtis and Garcia played the full 40, or dose to it

Oh, I'm aware of that.

Just not a fan of the +/- standing on its own metric.

I’d look at it as more a directional thing. If one or two players are huge outliers one way or the other then it can tell you something potentially, but it’s definitely not the be all end all, especially if a team has a really short bench like we did last night.
