Unimpressed. Sloppy. Some serious airballs and clunkers. Both are pretty big, though.

I dunno. Beatable.

Nebby up 10 and its going to be tough for even the perceived top Big 10 schools to win on the road.

Nebby has been a very good defensive team all year long....this win will put them in the field immediately and open some eyes.

He would be playing here

Would he though?
Acuff and Hayes are 1st and 3rd in 3pt%.
Also 8th and 10th in mpg.
3pt% seems to have a negative correlation to playing time here.

(Which might be a first? Wonder how many other teams have their 2 of their best 3pt shooters at the end of the bench.)

GG would probably be relegated to the bench behind Davis, Williams, Martini and Derkack as well.

UCLA plays defense. Cronin's teams are often stone age offensively, but they defend to the death. Nebraska looks like they have a real shot blocker.

Indiana wins 77-71
Indiana is playing different, without Reneau.

They might feel they have more of a green light to shoot threes, knowing he’s not waiting inside for the ball.

Plus it places more responsibility on Ballo who’s been great these last two games.

Also, Reneau is 3-17 from deep this year, so that’s at least one more trey per game taken by a better shooter.

Not saying they’re better without him, because he’s obviously a great player, but it has unlocked a different look and different way of winning for them.
