Nebraska will play at Villanova next season as part of the Big East-Big Ten Challenge


Recommended Posts

This could be tough for us.  Not gonna kid ya.

 

They probably start:

 

C Ochefu  6'11" 250#, former Rivals 4-star who put up ~ 9.3 and 8.3 pts and rebounds/game this last year.

PG Arcidiacono  6'3" 195#, former Rivals 4-star who scored 10.7 ppg and 3.6 assists against 1.5 turnovers.

 

He'll be pushed by incoming frosh Jalen Brunson, 6'1", Rivals 5-star from Chicago.

 

And they have at least 4 other former Rivals 4-stars in the SG to PF range.

 

They won the Big East this past year.  They return a lot of their talent.  And we have to play them on their floor.

 

So that seems like a real fair fight.  Nice of them to try to balance the matchups.

 

A win would give us a huuuuuuge RPI boost, though.

lol..well gotta say this is probably expected by most of us.  Their fans seem to be as disapointed as we are excited for this game.

We are 0-2 against the Wildcats. Hopefully this will change after we play them. And as a bland midwesterner, I would be dissapointed if the Phillie fans were not obnoxious. In the day when I used to work at Philmont for the boy scouts, the scouts from Philadelphia were inevitably the rudest groups to come through each summer. How's that for stirring the pot early?

I'm still trying to figure out why in the heck we got matched up with Villanova. Just a weird set-up.

lol..that's what all the upset Villanova fans are trying to figure out. We are the last team they want to play.

 

I think secretly, Nova fans are upset about the match-up because they are scared of us. They would rather take a loss on their home court to the likes of Sparty or the Badgers. When they lose to us, its going to crush their RPI!  :)
