throwback Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 With the way we struggle from 3 and to run consistent half court offense, we can't give up 16 turnovers and only come up with 3 steals. Give Tech credit for taking care of the ball - they looked like a team that relies on its seniors down the stretch. Hopefully a good learning experience for NU. Downside is that steals are going to be tough to come by against B1G teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Kentucky is losing to good teams, or they're bad. Or maybe they're having off games like Georgia Tech has had this season as well. The joy of college hoops, you really get to know the true identity of your teams come January. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hskr4life Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 My OP on Trey wasn’t meant to say that I think what he is doing is illegal/annoying (as a Husker fan... it would be as an opposing fan). It was more so that I think his doing it last night may have hurt more than it helped the first time that he did it. The second time he did it to draw the third foul on their guard was genius. But the first time took what could have been a 15-6 game and made it a 15-10 game. That’s all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like Lat paid the price for McGowens there. McGowens had been stopping short but that was a swerve and stop. You make it right by hanging a tech on Lat for a motion of zero consequence. This seemed like some acceptable street justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was my thoughts at the time exactly. The refs slapped a T on Lat for touching the opposing player when they got tangled up because they knew they couldn't do it to Trey. I was thinking to myself "man, Lat, you gotta know what Trey just got away with and in that situation, you gotta just walk away and let the refs handle it from there" The big "huh" moment for me was when they gave Tech two free throws AND the ball after all that. Seemed kind of egregious. OmahaHusker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I don't like it is I don't want Trey ending a dude's season with a shot to the knee or something because he decided to throw his hip into him a little too egregiously to draw the foul. I get that it's ok in technicality, and I'm all for gaining an advantage to win, but I personally just don't want to be that team. I see the other side of it though.

Handy Johnson Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 We should start this lineup tomorrow vs. Creighton: Teddy, Yvan, Kobe, Delano, Shameil Bring Trey, Lat, Thor off the bench. I think Kobe/Teddy on the wings, Delano @ point with Stevenson @ the 4 & Ouedrago @ 5 gives us more firepower & size, plus we’re stilling trying to “find ourselves” & this lineup looks intriguing & yer certainly not married to the one we have now...

I wouldn’t mind seeing Kobe starting and Trey off the bench. But I’m not sure how he’d handle that. We should probably keep him happy at all costs.

hhcmatt Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Some of the reaction to this game is how quickly it turned from a back and forth type of game where Nebraska is battling into Nebraska is out of this and no longer engaged.

I don't like Trey coming off the bench in this game because he's far and away our best front court defender and Creighton has guards that will eat you for lunch if you can't hang. I don't think any of the other perimeter defenders can right now in a man-to-man setting.

Creighton always has talented scoring guards and in the past we’ve almost always had very good perimeter defenders. And it seems like we’re always behind 42 to 23 at halftime. Gotta score points to keep up with Creighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is we have two guys right now you can feel pretty confident about shooting the ball - Lat and Kobe. That’s two more than last year. And we add a few more next year.

throwback Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 That was weird. I really like how he's shoveling even more candy out of the box after the pinata breaks, just to make sure everyone gets plenty. I have to feel like if he was a real coach, he'd have made the players put on shoulder pads and fight for only the 10 pieces that came out of the pinata to punish them for losing the battle on the boards.

hhcmatt Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Their thing is to hit up a gas station for candy if they win on the road which they can't do because of (this is the part where I look at my kids and they say) Covid-19.
