Burning question: how to eat popcorn with mask on?

I wonder how the pep band plays with masks on.

Observations from the vault...love Verge and Walker tandem.   The McGowan brothers are struggling a bit...struggling at the 3 both offensively and defensively.

Doesn't look like Andre is dressed.

 

He's in uniform. Launching threes during warmups. His body language on the bench hasn't been great compared to the other guys.

Maybe like a high school band I seen with masks cut around the lip area.

 

[Bugeaters1]

Much better.

 

[jayschool]

50-33. Verge taking over: 13 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals.

[jayschool]

Verge replaced Wilcher in second-half starting lineup.

[Bugeaters1]

55 - 41 NU 15 to go in the game.

So 10-of-19 is good? Hmmm.

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

I like this 9 fwiw...

Want to see as many guys get on the court though early in the season. I do like this team.

Concerns: young team, so naturally pretty porous on Defense and some mental problems that get better with time-- so some inconsistency will come. Lots of feeling out.

 

I do like what I see so far. Verge is a volume scorer but not in a bad way like teddy. He seems to be at least the leader of the second unit, and probably more; looks like an immediate contributor,  everything runs thru him as a linchpin

 

Team is athletic, long, looks like a high scoring husker team, and chemistry thru the roof. I'm excited. Ofc take this all with a husker tinted grain of salt, this like all fans here I'd from guys who have watched abysmal husker hoops for decades....  Low bar. Lol

Hahaha. Yeah. 50+% is real real solid

Jabril Harris is the Nemaha County Steph Curry.

Had a work obligation tonight-- so wasn't able to attend.  (Worst 1st year season ticket holder ever)

 

Just got the chance to start watching the 2nd half.  If we put as much effort into rebounding in the 1st half as we have so far in the 2nd, I see why we are in the position we're in.

[Bugeaters1]

Wilhelm is gonna be a good one for us.

[jayschool]

Based on the first 31 minutes only, rank the frosh:

1. Heem
2. Keon
3. Bryce
4. C.J.

[Bugeaters1]

71- 50 9:30 to go

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Another ( *early season caviat*) positive: the punishment free throw drills at practice seem to be working,  they look better this year!

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Andre finally on the hardwood.

[hskr4life]

Watching the Andre, Webster, Lakes lineup in there right now... one thing about it...

 

If you're not cutting it on a particular night-- if you're not playing hard-- if you're not doing your job, there's going to be someone right there wanting to take your minutes this year.
