basketballjones Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 The strategy to me is switching everything in my opinion. Roby, Copeland, Palmer, Taylor, Duby, should all be able to survive switches, and do your best to keep Glynn off bigs for too long. Cowboy Kermit, hal9000 and GBR1197 3 Quote

Don't think we'll have to double Wagner, I expect plenty of switching, especially when Roby is at the 5 Quote
nuhusker7 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 On the same note as making sure the crowd is loud, there are tons of tickets for as little as $6 on stub hub, spread the word. basketballjones 1 Quote

hhcmatt Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Posted January 18, 2018 I think our defense is there to keep Michigan in check. I think the key is whether or not we can minimally get the same sort of offensive output we had vs Minnesota. Cowboy Kermit, Silverbacked1 and WestOHusker 1 2 Quote

hskr4life Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Don't know entirely how it works, but the ESPN projections moved from giving the Huskers a 33.3% chance to win to a 34.1% chance to win. Quote

I'm even starting to get to like John Beilein (my two favorite (opposing) coaches in the B1G are/were Izzo & Bo) Now if only we can get the PBA Janitors to put the lid on the right basket this time; And remember to SWITCH at Halftime!

I'm definitely in the Beilein and Izzo second-tier cheering section. Both of those guys are class acts and outstanding coaches. I think Izzo is the best coach in the country--he proves it damned near every March. Quote

It was interesting to see Ohio state struggle w some token pressure and a 2-3 zone for much of that first half, northwestern a lot like us just really struggles to find baskets in half court sets. Didn’t see the second half but did see Ohio state still got to 70 some points Quote

Didn’t see the second half but did see Ohio state still got to 70 some points I watched the Ohio St game and they struggled significantly at the end of the game with Northwestern's press. They almost pissed away a 12 point lead with under 4 minutes to go. The fake NU had two chances to trim the lead from four points in the final 90 seconds but couldn't hit a shot. That should definitely catch Miles' attention. However, we're putting the cart before the horse and lets focus on curb stomping the Wolverweenies and handing them a loss that is a long time coming from us! Norm Peterson 1 Quote
Coaches kid Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, huskerbaseball13 said: IMO, this game will be decided at the three point line and how we do defending it. We have made dramatic improvements there this year so it will be interesting to see if our length gives Mich fits. In the past, like vs Creighton our issues defending the pick and pop has really hurt us in this game. In the last four games against Mich we have given up 42 three pointers and they were hitting at a 50% clip. Great point. A big factor in being able to have success defending the 3 will be whether we can stop dribble penetration into the lane. At home last year, we couldn't stop that. Michigan got either lay ups or, when we were able to keep them from getting to the rim, kick-outs for wide open 3's. It all started with dribble penetration. Thankfully, they don't have Walton (he killed us) and we have a bit more length on the floor with Isaac and James. Edited January 18, 2018 by Coaches kid Ben Zobrist 1 Quote
Nebrasketball1979 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Line has now moved from +3.5 to +5.5 so much more money is coming in on Michigan. This is likely because Jordy is rumored to play some - kidding! I can't wait for all of those people to cry in their cheerios tomorrow! Quote
Cowboy Kermit Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Man if a game is going to come where Glynn, Palmer, and Copeland are all on their game, tonight would be one hell of a night for that game to come. The Vault needs to be rocking. I've been amped up all day. Still 6 hours til tip off and I'm ready for some Can You Feel It and DMX. Let's do this. Red Don, WestOHusker and ShortDust 1 2 Quote

Michigan is going to be good, tough, and ready. I have no doubt we can get it done, but it will take a total team effort for 40 minutes. Any lapses, or games like Penn State and Illinois and we are in trouble. Red Don 1 Quote
hskr4life Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 General Consensus on their message boards... 1. They don't think this is going to be a blowout. A few posters are worried about the game while most state something to the effect of "We should be alright if we play well, but if we don't Nebraska is a team that can and will beat us." 2. They really like Tim. I saw a few posters say that he is "Their favorite Big 10 coach next to coach B at MU. 3. They are happy that we didn't lose on Monday. They thought we would come out with more intensity had we lost. Cowboy Kermit, Red Don and WestOHusker 1 2 Quote
