Has Nebraska tabbed at 11th.  From my experience the guys at this blog watch all the B1G games and track a lot of data.

If you check out the side there is a preview of every team.

Chris Basnett predicts NU to go 17-13 and 9-9 in the B1G.

KNTK - Early Break:  Nebrasketball gets a nice win at Wooden Legacy Classic— what did we learn?

 

(10:08)

 

Good win over Dayton, 80-78, on Thursday—and played well in a tough 82-71 loss to UCLA

This team can play…Watson, Webster and Morrow and great tourney—need more from McVeigh/Jacobsen

Coach Miles Radio show with Michael Lewis subbing in for coach

 

 

Working while listening so notes will be sparce.

• Introductions
• Talked about the gameplan and execution vs Dayton
• Talked through the UCLA game
• Call from Drew - question about a different approach when a team like VT throws out a zone
• Back to talking about UCLA
• On to the Clemson game after the commercial,kind of
• Back to the VT game. Our lack of offense sucked the gas out of our defense
• Talked about Tai and Glynn
• Talked about how to add the freshmen into the mix
• Back to a bit about Clemson...no gameplan leaked here
• Finished up

 

I think Miles energy is a boon for the process of program building but having a guy like Lewis here who is calm and collected adds a very nice balance to this staff.

KNTK - Early Break:  Nebrasketball holds off South Dakota to move to 5-3…and now it’s the Week of Death

 

(10:37)

 

Huskers looked great in getting to a 26-4 lead in 1^st half, but then fell apart in 2^nd half before holding on for the win

Can this team contend vs. Creighton and/or Kansas?

 

[49r]

KNTK - Early Break:  Nebrasketball squares off vs. Kansas tomorrow in Lawrence…do they stand any chance at all?

(17:04)

 

They can’t shoot well at home and haven’t shot well outside of games vs. UCLA and Dayton in Wooden Legacy CLassic…just don’t have a blowout loss is all we should hope for, right?

For those who are mad at Miles for his poor play consistently vs. Creighton, what do you say about his recent domination of Tom Izzo and Michigan State?

Coach sounds a little stuffy today.  I think there's a bug going around the team...

Listened to this segment with Nick Bahe and I really agree with his thought here. I really think NU has the personnel to play that way.

I think you forgot to post the link. But I know what you're talking about cuz I listened to it too and agree. Here it is:

Mike'l Severe had a similar tweet yesterday about the offensive stats, and I can kind of forgive his ignorance...  But when Bahe does it, then you know he's just trollin'.

 

(why don't they talk about the fact we've played by far the most difficult schedule in the B1G?  Or that we are one of the youngest teams in the league?)

I didn't forget, it just must not have worked when I tried it. Thanks for picking up the slack.

There's been plenty of conversation about that. Given how the lineups put together and who they've got playing regularly, I think it would be something that would work well with what is on the roster. I've thought that for a while, actually. You've got guys like Watson and Webster who are really good in transition. I think Taylor and Gill are, too. Those four leading the press with Morrow, Roby and Jordy right behind would be a pretty good situation. I think it might even open things up for McVeigh and Jacobson.

we tried the press against KU...it didn't go well...

It might not go well vs. a team with elite guards like KU. Most teams we play won't have that. They've used it effectively vs. teams that don't have players like Mason and Jackson. We're not going to see a lot of teams as talented as that.

The New Years Day game against Maryland has been set for 11 AM CST.
