uneblinstu Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 I didn't get to watch any of this game. Sounds like it was fun and Gill had himself a night. I'm not gonna get too worked up until they do this vs. a high major team. Sunday vs. Long Beach should give the Huskers a good chance to come home with 2 wins. Gotta wonder how helpful these events are if you're not gonna face good teams, could have easily scheduled two home games vs. teams like Marist and LBST. If you want to challenge yourself for that third game vs. a team like UCF, you could probably do that, too. Make it a road game if you want. Seems like if you're not in Maui, Battle 4 Atlantis, or you don't win your event, it's not really worth it. Quote
Fullbacksympathy Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 I'm encouraged that we've played 3 good halves of basketball in a row. My cautious optimism has returned. Ugh. Quote

Huskerpapa Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 In looking back, I thought this could be a tougher battle, but having seen the game play out, this is a game we should have won by 15 to 20, and we won by 25 and that was with clearing out our bench. Nicely done. I could go player by player, but each man in our normal rotation played pretty well. Glynn still hasn't found his shot, but it should come. We shot lights out, moved the ball fluidly, rebounded decently, defended well and played selflessly. We needed this win, if for no other reason, it partially rinses out my mind of that putrid football game. Nicely done men! Quote
Handy Johnson Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 Let's win the next TWO and I'll be feeling better about things... Quote
nustudent Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 Marist was real bad. We beat them they way we should. Glad to see we cut our rotation down. No reason for McVeigh or Borchardt to be seeing time unless we have serious foul issues or there's less than 4 minutes remaining in a blowout Quote

basketballjones Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 Can anyone explain to me their thoughts on how often Copeland received an outlet pass after a rebound (I saw at least 3 times), or why it seems there’s not always a clear reason as to whether Watson or Taylor will be point on a possession?

49r Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 They seemed to be purposefully feeding the ball to Cope any chance they got...maybe it was in the game plan? Quote

rwhiston Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 It's just been really great to see Gill playing and playing well these past few games. Watson's time will come but he doesn't have to do as much this year with all the other scorers. Still wanting Jordy to do more but I think that's wishful thinking Quote

Still wanting Jordy to do more but I think that's wishful thinking I agree wholeheartedly - it's great to see him just play some ball. He's had a tough row to hoe and seems to be gaining confidence and making the best of his last year. As for the team, they looked pretty good, but I'm not sure if Marist is good or bad. They gave WVU a run, but having followed WVU a bit over the last few years since I know a bunch of people from WV, WVU tends to have a few games they sleepwalk through just like NU. I'd lean toward Marist being on the bad side. NU needs to find a way to play a good game against a team with a pulse. If they could do that once or twice and actually find a way to win, I think that would do wonders for their confidence - get over the hump and prove to themselves that they can play competitively against the better competition.

Chuck Taylor Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 Amazing how good it feels to shoot well. I checked our overall stats on TeamRankings and our effective FG% is 47.8%, 242nd in the country. Our 3pt% is 33.1% (215), while we're giving up 35.1% on 3s (183). Baby steps! Quote
jimmykc Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 Was I the only one who thought Fran rambled interminably about the good old days riding the bus through snowy New England with a deli sandwich clutched in his hand? Even got to throw in a few passing references to Danny Nee and Pike along the way. Between this game and the football game, the announcers did have a lot of dead air space to fill in once the games got out of hand. I wonder if anyone who is not a Nebraskan managed to watch the entirety of both games? Or for that matter if anyone can admit to doing so under oath. Quote

Long Beach St tends to do alright in the wins department so it should be a net negative. If this is a team with a tough schedule in need of some confidence games, it helps in that regard. At the end of the day you are what you're records is, as Miles likes to say. Right now our record is we haven't beaten anyone of note. AuroranHusker 1 Quote

This game is what happens when they don't. Quote
hhcmatt Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 Kristinn Palsson from Marist is also from Iceland Quote
hhcmatt Posted November 25, 2017 Report Posted November 25, 2017 We had 23 assists. It would seem as though the LEWIS influence is becoming part of our game. Miles era best. Our most since a feb game vs K-state in 2010 Red Don and AuroranHusker 1 1 Quote
