Bugeaters1 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Posted February 24, 2021 Why is Teddy getting so much hate for putting 41 up last night? Social media is killing him. Just wonder what it would have been like when Pike put 42 on Oklahoma in 94 had there been social media. B-town hoopsfan 1 Quote

That was one of the most efficient 41 point games that I can think of. Quote
Popular Post HuskerFever Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted February 24, 2021 These are the same people that would go up to him to try to get a photo with him after the game if we had a winning record in the Big Ten. * Correction...these people don't even attend the games; they get their hoops news from social media, look at our record, complain, then move on to something else. colhusker, Red Don, Nebrasketball1979 and 10 others 2 1 10 Quote

tcp Posted February 25, 2021 Report Posted February 25, 2021 A. Primary answer's been given. There are an extraordinary number of dicks on the Internet. B. Teddy got labelled early, and I think that label stuck when he got benched as "another me-baller". So of course when some see a hot hand, others are going to see a ball-hogging show-boater. The irony of all this is that both can be true at the same time. You can be a ball hog and have a great game. You can also be a team player and have a great game. We've given Teddy plenty of grief for his on court attitude this season at quite a few points. But most of us notice a clear effort at improving, so I'm willing to let it go. But a lot of people will never let it go. All they know is hate. And I guarantee you they do this crap on every subject, every post, everywhere. They're just bad people. Bugeaters1 1 Quote

Huskerone Posted February 25, 2021 Report Posted February 25, 2021 We lose a lot, so makes it easier to complain, i guess is my theory. Reverse our record and the narrative changes a bunch, is my hunch. Quote
basketballjones Posted February 25, 2021 Report Posted February 25, 2021 Define hate....? I don't "hate," Teddy Allen. I am incredibly proud of the person he seems to have become after all the trials and tribulations of his youth and early career. He's also been the one fun thing to watch about this Husker squad this year. However - I do not believe that a team with Teddy Allen on it, taking most of your shots, and being your "guy," can ever be good. That's not hate. That's my opinion based off of experience and observation. He's streaky, inconsistent, and plays out of the flow of the offense. If he is not making shots, you're donezo because he's gonna keep shooting. And if he is, most of them just come at random times from random places, and no one else gets in the flow (see, Penn State from two nights ago). Nebrasketballer 1 Quote

If Teddy's distribution game is going to continue to evolve, adjust the offense to flow through Teddy. Everyone else figure out where they're supposed to be and when the defense sends multiple guys Teddy Dimes will find them. Illinois doesn't help much but let the man operate vs Minnesota. Quote

This is definitely true about many games this season. However, Penn St from two nights ago wasn't one of them. I watched others try to get involved that game and prompty turn the ball over which lead to quick buckets on the other end. Especially in the 1st half. Teddy passed the ball around well and tried to get his teamates involved the entire game. Go Fred Yourself 1 Quote

I would have actually been 100% on board with your opinion until the last handful of games since Teddy returned from suspension. He's been incredibly efficient and shooting above 50% from the field. He really hasn't been forcing a ton of shots and the ones he have, you live with if you get him consistently shooting north of 50%. His passing in the 2nd half of Penn. St. was phenomenal. If this is the new Teddy and the one we get for the rest of this year and next, sign me up as I don't think this version of Teddy Allen limits the ceiling of this team one bit. Quote
hskr4life Posted February 25, 2021 Report Posted February 25, 2021 My biggest thing with Teddy the last game isn't that he scored all of those points. It's that he scored all of those points AND realized when he needed to pass the ball off. You know how many easy buckets we got because Teddy DIDN'T try to force the shot and instead passed it off for an easy bucket? Like I said-- I've seen a lot of 40 point games (not just at Nebraska) and that was one of the most efficient performances I've ever seen. BjoeHusker and Silverbacked1 2 Quote
Handy Johnson Posted February 25, 2021 Report Posted February 25, 2021 What I admire about the kid, when asked what it was like scoring 41, Teddy said, "Don't mean nothing, we didn't get the job done." I don't know what else you would hope to hear, but that's good enough for me... Nebrasketball1979 and BjoeHusker 2 Quote

When he scored 13 in the second half, the rest of the team scored 32. Quote
