Peru St. (0-0) vs. Nebraska (0-0) Exhibition Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

Verge is gonna shoot a lot of free throws.

 

[jimmykc]

Verge appears to be the straw that stirs the team.

[jayschool]

Boy, we're young. 

 

I was gonna write "Man, we're young." But, you know. We're young.

[millerhusker]

It's nice having two bigs who can catch a pass

No Webster or Andre yet. Or Lakes or McPherson or Kojenets or the walk-ons.

Husker bball is back, baby! One of the best feelings in the world for Dorks like us

It was a wet walk over, but nothings a big deal having grown up here... Felt vintage!

GBR

Update : already love these guys in person

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Good to see lat on the floor, after having heard he was still getting back from that injury

What is % of fans in masks? Looked about 50% in brief tv coverage on news.

Thats what I'd say from watching it. and most in the gauche seats don't have them on.

Doesn't look like Andre is dressed.

Pretty clear who our top 9 is right now. I love Quaran's energy on the bench. 

[atskooc]

Remember, this is for all practical purposes a practice.

Kobe not part of the 9. That surprises me.

[jayschool]

Meh.

Everyone here is masked, but of course once in seats a lot of ppl pull them down or do the nose peek thing. It's ok. I'd also rather ppl try a little harder. But I've got a gaiter and mask just in case, it's nbd. Will see as the year goes. My bet is ppl get more relaxed and lazy with it as we get into the season. Hope ppl stay safe... Ofc I know and everyone who got season tix know we were taking a risk even being in a big crowd.

Not to worries I'm just gonna test more often after games

[jimmykc]

Looks pretty spotty but to be expected for first game. More experienced players (Verge and Walker) would seem to be less jittery. And did anyone try to enforce Lincoln's mask mandate???

This is the 9 man rotation that Rothstein tweeted about when he was at practice about a month ago. It appears to have stayed the same.

Burning question: how to eat popcorn with mask on?

Bad closeouts on D, Bryce pressing on O, not working hard enough on D. T. McGowens, Verge and Walker (the old guys) seem to be the only ones who know how hard you have to play in college basketball, even if it's Peru State.

 

Also, I'd love to see Peru play Peru, the national team, just so I can chuckle at the announcers.

[OurDecay]

Verge is a difference maker for sure.  At this stage it feels like a matter of knowing roles.  Verge, Walker and Heem know their roles.  It feels like the rest of the team is guessing.

 

With our athletes and length, it would suit us to pressure the ball and turn folks over.  We will be able to run and score on the break.
