There’s a game tonight!

[NUCat320]

ESPN has NU with a 90% chance of victory.

I doubt we’ll get much student turnout after this weekend’s stinker.

NU has a great chance to finish strong.

I want Boo to score 30.

I'm planning on being there tonight, I hope all the Cats have a ton of fun and it's a smooth run to victory.

 

[GatoLouco]

It's a chance to worsen our 355 out of 358 KenPom luck rating!

I'll be there with my son. Visiting fans and social distancing should not be a problem tonight.

Interesting. How does he define ‘luck’?

Interesting. How does he define ‘luck’?

KenPom defines this as a measure of the deviation between a team's actual winning percentage and what one would expect from its game-by-game efficiencies. Essentially, a team involved in a lot of close games should not win (or lose) all of them.

Since I'm apparently a masochist, I am looking forward to tonight's game. Tonight is where we find out if this team has mailed it in and is going through the motions or if they are still playing hard to win games and go out strong. Say what you want about Collins, but his teams typically have not quit in the past and have continued playing hard late in the season. So I expect that the team will come out and play hard tonight and continue to through the rest of the season. But if they throw up another stinker tonight and lack energy, it could be an ugly end of season stretch.

Note: The BTN ‘First Dance’ documentary will be airing before the game. Set your DVRs.

Eric made it back here fast!

 

[PurpleFaze]

Hopefully the students show up tonight.

I’m looking forward to being able to have some elbow room and I doubt there will be many Nebraska fans there especially with their performance this season.

I also saw that the NUMBB ‘Last Dance’ and ‘Only Dance’ documentaries are airing at the same time.

Is my DVR malfunctioning?

I am going to just fast-forward to the hand shaking!

I had the same question

I have zero interest in seeing what a Fred Hoiberg/Chris Collins fight would look like. Yikes.

I presume @TheC just wants to see the once and future Mayor do what he does best: give a politician’s firm, friendly handshake, complete with a sincere smile and confident eye contact.

Hoiberg is a master.

Well it appears they are favored by ... 11 points!
