- Lots of coachable things from this game.

- NU started pretty strong but couldn't sustain it. Looked like they hit the wall somewhere in the first half. Virgina Tech was the aggressor from the start of the second half. NU really struggled to answer.

- I'm not seeing what Taylor's bringing offensively.

- Would like to see Roby getting 5-8 more minutes a game at least.

- Webster has been Steady Eddie and continued to be so.

- Watson still fighting some all-or-none consistencies.

- Morrow had a decent game. Had some spurts where he struggled to secure a couple big rebounds where VT turned it into points.

- Virginia Tech is much improved under Williams. They'll be a pretty solid team, I think.

- Just couldn't get it going offensively.

- Gill and McVeigh really struggling offensively right now.

- Had a lot of defensive breakdowns in the 2nd half.

- The team that played in the first two games is a tourney team. The one that played today isn't.

- I thought Jordy looked pretty good defensively in the few minutes he got. Still got some work to do offensively. He reminds me of Tai in that way. He's got a lot to learn down there and it's coming at him really fast right now. Everyone says he's a hard working grinder that will eat up coaching. If that's true, we'll be talking about him a lot like we're talking about Tai by the time he's done. Hopefully he gets there before his senior year.

- I would still like to see more pressure in times when the game isn't on the line. I think it could be a good weapon to spring on teams from time to time.

- This weekend was still a net positive for this team. 3 quality opponents. Proved you can compete with good teams. Not quite ready for 3 games in 4 days.

Obviously not, because, you know, one game.

Michael Lewis isn't an actual offensive coach?

My problem with the offense wasn't missed shots.  It was the fact that it was continually 2 on 5 with zero movement from anyone else.  It is the same crap offense we've been doing under Miles.  This t

I was only able to watch the last 3 minutes, but listened to the entire game.

 

Why in God's great earth does Roby get 1 minute in the 2nd half?  Fuller gets 2 minutes in the 2nd half.  McVeigh, who should have stayed in Lincoln this weekend gets 11 minutes.  McVeigh was 2-17 from 3 in the 3 games. 

 

This was a game where our inexperience showed up.  We played well on the defensive end in the 1st half, and then we decided we were going to let their leading scorer start a dunk show.

 

Watson kept missing shots today.

 

Somebody needed to take out Hill with that bush league dunk at the end.

Va Tech would not allow penetration by our guards so scoring was difficult.  Perimeter shooting was abysmal though there was effort.  Tai is playing well.

We better figure it out because the entire Big 10 has smart enough coaches to know if you don't allow our guards to penetrate, you are going to shut us down.

I think his coach is gonna take care of that. He looked rather nonplussed after that.

I guess I shouldn't be too ticked because Morrow did kind of bring it on a little by knocking the ball out of the hand.

Offensive philosophy still isn't good.  Wish Miles would get an actual offensive coach.  Not going to win many games playing 2 on 5.

This was the fact of the inexperience on this team showing up.

 

It's no coincidence that Webster was our best offensive player today.

 

It was playing 3 games in 4 days.  Missed a lot of shots short.  We actually are doing a decent job offensively.  We were shooting 46% and averaged 73.8 points per game.

I am frustrated.  But we have to understand (or at least I think we do) that this a young team that is inconsistent at this point.  There will be times where we are amazing, and times like today, where we kinda sucked. 

+ I am a big MJ fan, but he had a bad outing today.

+ Ed is a man, plus he works his butt off.

+ Glynn played well on defense, but he was offensively challenged today.

+ I do not intend to disrespect Nick, but I am confused why he made it into the game today in that situation???

+ Jack, well Jack is struggling right now.  We need him and need to get his shot back...quickly.

+ I thought the freshmen did okay today.  Perhaps the playing time needs to be extended a bit.

+ I am very pleased with how Tai is playing.  He is playing his butt off and is providing excellent on court leadership.  I worry a bit that the team may be over reliant on him.  Sort of the Shavon syndrome.  We need others to pick up their games to compliment the heart and soul be exhibited by Mr. Webster.

He has that consistency, we are looking for Watson, McVeigh, Gill, Jacobson, Roby, Jordy, and Horne.    Hopefully, it won't take very long to get that consistency.

We also scored 80 points against a Dayton team who prides themselves on defense.  We are young that we are going to blaze the nets one night, and not hit the broadside of a barn the next game.

You need more from Roby if you have hopes for anything past the regular season.  Giving him 1 minute in the second half isn't enough

Hard to get more from Roby when Tim would rather play McVeigh.  Makes you really wonder what this strategy consists of.

 

Jack's max potential = Tom Best (u old schoolers know what I'm talking about)

 

Not exactly a guy you can bank on to be big time.  Roby has much higher potential.

I'm not impressed with Dayton.  Nah.  I've seen enough of this to know where this team is headed.  Hoping they can beat Creighton at least.

this was a tough one, but i'm not going to panic yet. let's see how they respond against clemson.

 

I will say it's a bit strange to see roby not play more after miles called him a next level player

Morrow had a bush league steal attempt when the game was basically over. We got what we deserved on that particular play
