What's the shooting percentage of a dunk? Asking for a friend.

Not very good.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Shamiel Stevenson = Lance Stephenson

That pretty much sums up the last 2 1/2 years.

 

Just 2 1/2?  Hehe

Andre with a couple of nice passes to setup Stevenson

All the Hell

I actually have always like Shamiel Stevenson and thought he should be getting more minutes.   He makes some really good and athletic plays.

 

That said he also does so many inexplicably bad things that he is SO frustrating to watch.   Sort a metaphor for our while team this year really.

 

That dunk he just missed is a great example.   You like the aggression - but we are making a run here and that was a key bucket.   Understand the moment and just make DAMN SURE that ball goes in.   In that situation we get just as much momentum from the made basket - we didn't need the showoff dunk.

 

We are getting some really good minutes from Andre.  That is encouraging.

Dare I say, we still have a chance?

[hskr4life]

Honestly-- have loved seeing how active Teddy is on the bench.  That is a little encouraging.

No-- we are right fricking there.

[HuskerFever]

"What's your defensive strategy, Coach?"

 

"Let the opponent miss 15 straight shots."

 

"But, Coach... isn't that our offensive strategy?"

Or running out of bounds.... man he just can't get out of his own way sometimes.

You are correct sir! They hit a late three and then we have two silly turnovers in a row.

[Silverbacked1]

Minn with a blind pig three and then we start to lose focus...

 

Keep coming on boys...

Thats kinda the whole team.

LET'S GOOOOOOO

[HuskerBB]

Andre is really active on defense.

 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Andre brings us a defensive presence that’s quite tangible. His length had altered a lot of shots. He should play more than Yvan at this point.

The season is lost anyway so play him and maybe find a rotation that works?

[hskr4life]

We need to get it closer before Carr and their big come back in.

This run has all been since he entered.

A 6 player rotation for this run too.

 

Thor, McGowens, Banton, Lat, Andre, Kobe.

[HuskerBB]

Has Lakes even played in the second half?

 

I think Fred realized starting him was a mistake.   If he can't get shots he does us no good on the floor.

 

[hskr4life]

THAT'S A FRICKING PUSH OFF!

[HuskerBB]

We have to be the worst team in America at running a 2-1 break. 

 

 

Which frankly is a problem that predates Hoiberg.  Miles' teams were awful at that as well.
