Norm Peterson Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 This is starting to get kind of scary. He has not looked good in any game this year. (exhibition included) He looked pretty damn good when he drained 16/25 treys during the prelims of the 3-pt shooting contest held during that public scrimmage thing. And he looked pretty damn good when he drained 11/23 in the final of that competition. Timforthewin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball23 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 The biggest thing that gives me hope about Walk P, is Tim Miles. Coach Miles is pretty loose with his guys and I think over the long haul this helps players. Say Walt was playing for Doc, he would be yanked shot after shot after shot (see Toney McCray) and he would lose his swagger. Coach Miles will ooze confidence in Walt, and Walt will hit a couple big 3's and get his swagger back. I really believe that.

Red Don Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think the team will be just fine. Remember when Shavon was going through a big slump early last season? The team has just had a spate of bad luck so far this year; Leslee's torn ACL, Tarin's illness, Hammond's concussion, and Fuller's broken nose.

Huskerpapa Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 To me it is NOT about IF Walt breaks out, it is about WHEN he breaks out of his slump. We NEED Walt to be a scoring option for us. We will struggle a bit until he turns his game around. It WILL happen...I just continue to hope it is sooner rather than later.

Hooper Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Walt isn't the first player we've seen go into a shooting slump, and he won't be the last. We've seen practically everyone in the starting line-up fight through slumps of varying lengths during their careers. Shavon and Terran both had rough stretches last year, as did Gallegos. Walt is an outstanding perimeter shooter, and I feel strongly that he'll be okay. I'm more worried about his rebounding and continued lack of a post presence, both offensively and defensively.

huskerbaseball13 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Miles doesn't seem concerned It really looks mental at this point...if he can get a few to fall they will come in bunches. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timforthewin Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I don't know if this has been brought up yet, and I apologize if it has, but does anybody know the numbers-crunch on points scored by Walt with Leslee in the game last year as opposed to when he was on the bench? While I highly doubt it, I wonder if this could be playing a bigger impact than one would think. Just wondering out of curiosity even though I totally agree that I believe it's mental too and Walt will be fine. Silverbacked1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I can recall it occurring was versus Baylor, the last game. Silverbacked1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbacked1 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Watching Walt tonight I saw him struggle a bit okay more than a bit early. But he did do some things later that helped us, couple of good passes and set some nice picks for guys. At least he doesn't seem to be down on himself yet. He has to get his touch sometime this year, has to good of a stroke to be like this all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoof Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was encouraged early on when he took his guy off the dribble from the elbow extended and got to the line but then he missed two more of the 5 straight free throws he missed. Tenn-Martin has won three straight but against very poor competition. Hopefully he can be free to shoot himself out of this slump in that game before we head to FSU. Has anyone noticed a difference in his shot? I saw someone somewhere say it looked like his release point is lower than it was last year.

Has anyone noticed a difference in his shot? I saw someone somewhere say it looked like his release point is lower than it was last year. I'd have to go back but on memory his shot appears the same to me. He's just in a funk and let's hope its not a season long funk. I really think when he can get one to fall it will come in bunches. It's all mental right now.....he's a good shooter and how many times do you see a guy like that have an air ball and clank 5 free throws in a row? Right now he's having trouble getting layups to go down. I like the Miles is still drawing up sets for him and getting open looks. Sooner or later one will go.

hhcmatt Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 3pt shots sometimes don't fall. The 0-5 start from the FT line start is a lot more troubling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
