Nebraska Preview CapsuleBy The Associated Press=NebraskaLast season: 16-18, lost in quarterfinals of Big Ten Tournament. Ilya Lyubushkin Jersey .Nickname: Cornhuskers.Coach: Tim Miles.Conference: Big Ten.Whos gone: F Shavon Shields, G Andrew White III, G Benny Parker.Whos back: G Tai Webster, the only senior, will be looked upon to replace Shields as the team leader and must increase his 10-point scoring average. F Michael Jacobson, who started the last 25 games, gets to move back to his natural power forward spot after having to bang against rugged Big Ten centers. G Glynn Watson had a team-high 83 assists. G-F Jack McVeigh is a dependable perimeter shooter.Whos new: C Jordy Tshimanga, a 6-foot-11, 275-pound freshman, gives the Huskers the size in the middle they desperately need. G Anton Gill is a transfer from Louisville and former top-50 recruit. F Isaiah Roby, who went into preseason practice with a pelvis injury, is a versatile player who could be a big contributor once healthy.The Skinny: The program suffered a major blow in the offseason when White, the best all-around player, unexpectedly left the program and transferred to Syracuse. That leaves the Huskers without a proven scorer. Webster is coming off his best season, but there isnt enough talent around him to give the Huskers much hope of avoiding a third straight sub-.500 season and another finish near the bottom of the Big Ten.---Online:AP College Basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org Anders Hedberg Jersey . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. Mark Visentin Jersey . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. https://www.cheapcoyotes.com/458z-krys-k...ey-coyotes.html .R. Smith realized how easily basketball can be taken from him, and he wasnt going to take his place in the NBA for granted anymore. Two weeks ago, it was a road course race at Sonoma. Last week, the restrictor-plate race at Daytona. Now, we get back to more traditional style of racing.Hopefully, your luck went a little better than mine at Daytona, as a number of my picks were involved in the mid-race wreck that involved half of the field.Only three drivers in the field cost $10,000 or more on DraftKings. Two of those finished with the two-lowest fantasy points total at Daytona (Kevin Harvick: -10.75, Jimmie Johnson: -17).Meanwhile, you could have had a team that had the six best-scoring drivers in the race: winner Brad Keselowski (78.75), Michael McDowell (63), Clint Bowyer (61.25), Cole Whitt (57.5), Trevor Bayne (52) and David Ragan (51.25). That wouldve cost you $38,800 of the $50,000 you have to put together a DraftKings roster.This weeks return to normalcy will take place at the 1.5-mile Kentucky Speedway. Its the most-common type of track on the schedule, so we have a lot of data to work with, as weve already run five races on 1.5-mile tracks, although the last one was at Charlotte in May.The series only races once a year at Kentucky, and only dating back to 2011, but having all the races on similar tracks helps a lot with data.This race is only 267 laps, but impressively, a driver has led at least 118 in all five Kentucky races, with three of those coming from Kyle Busch.In fact, seven of the top-eight single-race laps led totals either came from Busch (three times) or Keselowski (four). Although their history at the track is tremendous, Im not going to look at Kentucky exclusively. Ill spread the wealth to the other 1.5-mile tracks on the schedule, as well.Keeping that in mind, heres who Im looking at early in the week at Kentucky, but check back after qualifying for my final picks and fades.Im starting my team with:I explained above how good Busch has been at Kentucky, including his win last year. In five Cup Series races held at Kentucky, Busch has averaged 85.65 fantasy points per race, about nine more than any other driver. But Im getting on board for what hes doing this year on the 1.5-mile tracks.In five races on such tracks this season, he has two wins and four finishes in the top four. Dating back to laast year, he has seven top-five finishes in the last eight races on the 1. Niklas Hjalmarsson Jersey. 5-mile tracks. He also has at least 75 points in five of the last six such races.His only poor fantasy day in that time was in the last 1.5-mile race (Charlotte in May), when he finished 33rd. But in that race, he was in the top 10 inside the final 10 laps before hitting the wall.Keep an eye on these four:Martin Truex Jr.: This has been Truexs year on the 1.5-mile tracks. Hes only won once, but in daily fantasy NASCAR, finishes are just one piece of the scoring picture. In each of the last three races on 1.5-mile tracks, Truex has led at least 141 laps and put up at least 92.75 points, culminating with a dominant, 197-point day at Charlotte in May.Chase Elliott: Elliott is quickly moving out of the range where we can consider him a mid-cost driver, but he still wont cost you at the level of a top-tier driver. In four of the five 1.5-mile track races, hes topped 40 points, although the laps led havent been there. In the last three 1.5-mile track races, Elliott is ninth in the series with 41.6 fantasy points per race.Austin Dillon: In his first 21 races on 1.5-mile tracks in his Sprint Cup career, Dillon had two top-10 finishes and averaged 21.9 fantasy points a race. In the last four, he has two top 10s (with no finish worse than 19th) and 40 points per race. His Xfinity Series numbers at Kentucky are stupendous, with two wins and a second and sixth in his four races there and 76.75 laps led per race.Ryan Blaney: Unlike Elliott, fellow rookie Blaney can still be had at a bargain, and has a much higher upside than other drivers with comparative costs. Hes shown much more consistency lately as well. Hes averaged 33.7 fantasy points in his last eight races, 10th-most among all full-time drivers. Much like Dillon, Im intrigued by what he did in the second-tier Xfinity Series. In his last three starts there, he has two wins and a fifth, leading 96 and 81 laps in the two wins.Thats all I have for you this week, hope you enjoyed your Independence Day with your grilled food of choice.
