kldm64 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Tom Izzo said he thought Nebrasket was actually better defensively w/o Ubel b/c of more quickness and athleticism w/ Shields + Rivers. I would have to disagree as I thought we might have gotten a win if we had Ubel to help out down low. By the same token, I thought if we had Almeida against Wisconsin, we would have gotten a "W" there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkey Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 While I understand the need to explain why a vastly inferior team nearly beat on the road an obviously superior team, inherent within Izzo's remark was that his team was not prepared for Nebraska's speed. I highly doubt that fact is true. Izzo is one of the hardest working, prepared coaches in college basketball. His players rarely get beat by an inferior team like Nebraska. I did not see any let down from the Spartans, yet Nebraska still hung with them. In his own way, Izzo could be admitting he was out coached by Miles. I am not sure that is the case, but it would give an explanation for Izzo's views. I did not watch the Ohio State game, but I have been very impressed with Nebraska's play since starting Big Ten play so far. The bench is shallow. Key players are hurt. A new system is being implemented. Walkons are playing important roles. I am pleased to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
