So what’s all that mean? I’m drunk!! We’d lose?

We take way too many threes. For 25 mins it appeared that we may have caught on to this fact. The last 15 makes me think that maybe we didn't. 44% of our fg attempts have been 3s this season. Shooting 65% from inside the arc and 33% from outside. Watson is shooting over 50% from 3 everyone else is 27%. Yet almost half of our shots are from 3. Makes no damn sense.

Some perspective. Only 33% of the Golden State Warriors (the best 3 point shooting team in the world) FG attempts are from 3.

I tried to be optimistic with expectations and buy into all the hype about '3 returning seniors off a 22 win team + Roby'. However, in the back of my mind I knew this is the same staff and team that got those wins when the Big 10 was WAY down and were eliminated in their first Big 10 Tournament and NIT games. I am back to earth now.

To get to the dance they'll need to win at least 4 of these remaining 6 OOC games. Western Illinois, @ #16 Clemson, cretin, Oklahoma St @ Sioux Falls, Cal St Fullerton, Southwest Minnesota St. That'll give them 8 non-conference wins. cretin in the PBA had better be one of those 4 wins.
They'll then need to win 12 of 20 in a seemingly improved Big 10 to get to 20 overall.
If they go .500 (10-10) they'll be on the bubble with 18 wins and needing to win two games in the Big 10 Tourney to make the dance.

2 wins down.

That was a big ‘en right there.

Of course we had to let it get interesting. Losing that one would in conjunction with the TT loss would have been hard to explain away if we end up anywhere near the bubble at the end of year.

A rebuilding cretin beating Clemson too kind of takes away from the win.

Fuck cretin.

Fuck cretin.

That Cretin win still blows my mind. They struggle all season and then go beat a team that went to the Sweet 16 last year and returned 4 starters this season. In a neutral setting ta boot.

Don’t know what to make of Cretin yet but I’m sure Gonzaga is about to show us their true identity. If they make a game out of that one then they’re definitely better than I thought.

I feel like Nebraska needs to make a statement today and win comfortably.

Just fucking win. Top 25 rankings mean very little come March.

20 W's mean a lot.

@ Minnesota on Wednesday looks to be a tough out.

Just about to post that.

We'll see how long they stay there after this coming Saturday. Win the next two and they could find themselves inside the top 20. Lose either one and it might be a short stay.
