49r Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 New Zealand has a population of about 4.5 million people. That is roughly the same as the state of Kentucky. Or the Boston or San Francisco metropolitan areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkey Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I am in Auckland right now getting ready to fly back home, and I can say New Zealand is amazing. Rugby DOMINATES the news (granted they are about to play the World Cup in England), but it is also clear the natives are huge other sports fans as well (they even have a sheep shearing champion). However, every native I spoke with knew little about local basketball although a few were familiar with the NBA (the Lakers and Knicks came up mostly). One guy in Auckland could name the entire Knicks starting lineup, but he had never even heard of Tai. By comparison, a few of the Aussies I met had heard of McVeigh. Considering everything I saw and what he has been through, I have a lot more respect for Tai. hhcmatt and 49r 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49r Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 'BTPowerhouse 25': Just Missed The Cut http://www.btpowerhouse.com/2016/9/6/12794652/btpowerhouse-25--big-ten-basketball-nate-mason-tai-webster-jordan-murphy-shep-garner-robert-johnson BTPowerhouse's staff counts down the best players in the Big Ten heading into the 2016-’17 season. -- Tai Webster (Nebraska) Eligibility: Senior Career Totals: 66 games, 2,106 minutes, 787 points, 195 rebounds, 186 assists 2015-’16 Averages: 35.2 min, 14.8 pts, 3.0 rebs, 2.8 asts, 0.1 blks, 1.1 stls Positional Role: Shooting Guard Although most eyes were focused on Shavon Shields and Andrew White during Nebraska’s games last year, one player who was quietly pretty productive was Tai Webster. Overall, he finished second on the team in minutes and was a consistent presence in the backcourt for the Huskers. Admittedly, Webster probably doesn’t flash that “star” potential, but if he can stay efficient (101.8 offensive rating last year), make an impact on the boards (16.4 conference defensive rebounding rate), and stay solid on the defensive side (2.9 steal rate), he should stay a solid contributor. The question will be whether there are enough playmakers around him to keep pressure off him this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuroranHusker Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Tai's actual stats: 10.1 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 2.0 apg, 1.4 spg, 0.3 bpg on 47.4% (35% on 3's) shooting with 74% FT. http://www.huskers.com/fls/100/MBBStats/2016/teamcume.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khoock Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I was thinking maybe strictly big ten play but that still seems a little high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroranHusker Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I was thinking maybe strictly big ten play but that still seems a little high. Tai's scoring was 9.9 ppg for conference-only games. See: http://www.huskers.com/fls/100/MBBStats/2016/teamcume.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khoock Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Like not trying to just kill the writer but how do some of the statistics even seem logical?

49r Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 November 18, 2016 Ben Stanley TAI WEBSTER'S NEBRASKAN BASKETBALL ODYSSEY https://sports.vice.com/en_au/article/when-zero-is-the-hero-tai-websters-nebraskan-basketball-odyssey "There was a crazy amount of hype going around," he says. "Everyone was like he's this 17-year-old who is on the national team – he's going to come in and rip up straight away. Honestly, I think I did a bad job. I let it feed into me – I expected myself to come out and do the things they expected me too. "Once I didn't, I was like 'oh shit, what am I going to do now?' I was wondering if college was for me. I started having doubts." Pretty good read on Tai Webster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khoock Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 It's been fun watching him grow. Going from a kid many called a bust and wanted to transfer to averaging 18pts 5reb 3asst early on in his senior campaign. Just another example of why we need to be patient with these KIDS. bball23, Red Don, Norm Peterson and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
