Nebraska (4-3) (0-0) vs. Wisconsin (6-1) (0-0) Game Thread

Is Brad Davison a 6th year freshman?

[hskr4life]

Thank you Thor.

I’m officially frustrated with the preseason hype around Lat’s shooting ability. He’s getting all the open looks Cross and Kavas got last year.

Here we go again.  Can we have a good second half once.

[Cazzie22]

Can we keep up the intensity for the 2nd half?  We are having a tough time getting decent shots while Bucky is starting to execute.

For Christmas, I'm recommending Hoiberg give Lat and Shamiel nice seats way down the bench.

Deep down, nobody hates Brad Davison more than Brad Davison hates Brad Davison. You know that's true.

Here are your Halftime Stats:     Wiscy by one; 25-24.

Down 6 on the glass. They had some key 2nd chance points that got them back in the game.

I'll say it again.  For as "run and gun, good offense jump" that we were supposed to see from the Miles era to the Hoiberg era, I have been sadly disappointed with us on that end this year.  I figured with more athletes, we'd have a better flow.  A lot of the same standing around and shooting threes that we also saw in the Miles era.

we're in it. that's better than I was expecting. I'll take it. Give me another half of basketball, give or take a monster run. 

 

[TomEadesSucks]

Lat must be bizzaro Allen Iverson.

[millerhusker]

Don’t Shamiel will be part of the rotation anymore. You can not afford to waste possessions against a team like Wisconsin. A shamiel three point attempt and turnover on back to back possessions led to Wisconsin points.

Difference in the first half was free throws

I actually thought our ball and player movement was really good in the first half. We’ve gotten good looks in transition and in the half court. Especially considering how Wisconsin forces teams to play.

Telling Lakes was first off the bench. Shamiel was in for like two or three possessions and then out again...

I'm ok with a Shamiel three that is in rhythm.  But my goodness he hesitates like he's unsure if he is supposed to shoot or not.

I’d like to see Lakes get a few open looks in the 2nd half. Can’t waste his shooting potential, especially when Lat and Thor have been shooting so poorly from 3PT

I think Thor was the sixth man (spelling Trey for a short time) and Trevor seventh, with Kobe eight and Shamiel ninth. Still waiting for Eduardo "My Dinner With" Andre to make an appearance.

Hoiberg's offensive is predicated on every position being a threat from three. Right now Webster and Allen who are the only ones opponents have to worry about.

Pretty sure he hates him more.

Lat is working his ass off on defense and boards, gotta give him that. 

[hskr4life]

Honestly-- pretty telling that Lakes was 2nd off the bench tonight.

[hskr4life]

Yuv hasn't been great, but hasn't been bad either.  Certainly one of his better outings so far.

Davison to himself: "WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?!?!?!?!"
