Popular Post Dean Smith Posted January 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I don't think I've started more than three threads since I've been on the board but even though it's usually scary, I started thinking tonight. We do feel snake bit as Nebraska basketball fans and rightfully so. Michigan is in a worse place then we are and you know what a lot of their fans are thinking right now. I guess we just have to go win the B1G tourney. They think that way because Michigan basketball has done that before. We are worried about the bubble and how close we are to the bubble and what everyone else in the country is doing and this matrix and that matrix. I don't think we are going to win out and get to 23 wins but we are good enough to do that. We probably aren't going to win the B1G tourney but we are good enough to do that too. I'm biased but I think we are much more likely to do it than Michigan. It's a tournament so we don't have to beat all of Michigan, Michigan St., Ohio State and Purdue. We will probably have to beat two of them. We trounced one of them and could of/should of beat two of the others. And as upsets happen, we might not even have to play two of them. As a matter of fact, I think we are more likely to win the tourney than to win out. I'm not going to get out in front of myself and not just as a Nebraska basketball fan, I am just naturally pessimistic. So we probably aren't going to win out and we probably aren't going to win the B1G tourney. But we are good enough to do both.

Norm Peterson Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) The comparison between Palmer and Petteway has some merit in terms of their tools. And their size. Key difference is you don't cringe at most of Palmer's shot selection and think "just because you made it doesn't make it a good shot." Palmer almost always seems to let the game come to him and almost always seems to take over in the 2nd half. And it seems like it's either layups or fouls in the last 5 minutes, which gives us a huge advantage.

I can think of more who I cringed when they had the ball offensively than I trusted to score it. With this current team, im completely fine with the entire top 8 taking shots. Petteway took a lot of bad shots bc he had too. Anyways, both are remarkable talents. Glad they both decided to become Huskers. tcp, throwback and jason2486 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-town hoopsfan Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Palmer is more of an attacker, pettaway was probably a lil bit better of shooter. Plus the talent is much better now. Personally I’d still take palmer because he looks to be a culture changer especially if he comes back for his senior year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PimpMario Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have officially gotten my hopes up. Let's win out, including the conference tourney.We can finish the season with 11 wins in a row and get a 6 or 7 seed.The crazy thing is we have the talent to do it. We might have to beat Purdue in the tourney but bring em on! Swan88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Norm, Palmer will get out of control at times but it seems in crunch time, he has been money. jayschool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
