Or a highly ranked Wisconsin team. The proof the following year was that Miles played WP out of position and that screwed the entire season. This comment makes me think you haven't been following the team until recently 1 Quote Link to comment

FWIW, Nebraska has the best ATS record(19-6) in NCAA, so even Vegas doesn’t know how good they are yet. Edited February 12, 2018 by ScottyIce Quote Link to comment

This team has 4 legit scoring threats, as well as two role players that fit their roles very, very well. Add two bigs that can produce when the can. '17-'18 over '13-'14 by 10, at least. If you considered Shields a roll player not a “legit scoring threat”, well.... Honestly would take him over Copeland even. Quote Link to comment

Extrapolated over 40 minutes, Copeland is the better player, but their numbers compared to their minutes played are eerily similar. Quote Link to comment

My comparison would be Copeland and Pitchford and then Roby and Shields Quote Link to comment

It's about perception to receive equal money on each side to take the juice home. Quote Link to comment

If the public opinion was higher on Nebraska, Nebraska wouldn't be 19-6 ATS.... I hope I don't need to delve any further into that for you to understand my point. Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I was just looking at our schedule and kind of forgot but of our 4 losses, 3 are to the top 3 teams in the B1G. Our 4th loss is against the #6 team. While we have struggled to get the big "signature" wins, we dont have any of those traditional bad losses(Yet) that seem to bite Nebraska. We are beating teams we should beat(in conference).. That doesnt mean we get in but is nice to see. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska (NR) The Huskers are winning the games they are supposed to at this stage in the season. Nebraska has won five games in a row to get to 10 wins in the Big Ten. During this stretch, the Huskers have won three on the road. The pressure is on every game. Tim Miles’ crew knows it has very little room for error. 1 Quote Link to comment

So far, a much better showing than the usual losses to some bottom teams two or three time a year. Quote Link to comment

Miles hasnt been a great coach up to this year but he has proven with a few leaders(and he has them) he can get these guys to listen. The switch to the 1-3-1 zone against Wisconsin and handling the Jordy thing has been really strong. Our offense actually runs some sets and while it still seems focused on the guy with the ball creating his own shot, it has better spacing. Quote Link to comment
