Idaho State (1-2) vs. Nebraska (1-2) Game Thread

[Nebrasketballer]

The ball movement by everyone is so much better when Kobe is in there to get it started.

[Nebrasketballer]

Walker needs to realize that at his height, he absolutely has to box out to get rebounds. He has to put a body on someone.

[millerhusker]

I hope Bryce realizes how well he's playing. He seems discouraged because he's not scoring points, but he's got 7 rebounds, 3 assists and only one turnover so far. 

CJ has bought into blocking out. Doing a good job on the boards. 

Keisei needs to start making these open threes. 

Not sure how much longer Verge will be here. Body language is awful on the bench. And his team is winning. I just don't get it.

Like what I’m seeing from Verge tonight.

Honesty— like him coming off the bench more.  He can provide a spark off the bench.  I know that’s probably not what “he” wants though.

No Andre so far.

At this point Verge is an officer and gentleman - he’s got no where else to go.

Winning on the boards!  (knock on wood) anything is good progress there! Promising signs against a bad team here.

Just came here to post this!  Surprising as this would have been a good game to get him some minutes

Me too. He's still holding the ball too long, but if he's gonna buy into playing point, actual point, I don't mind seeing him involved.

I think a Lotta ppl including myself didn't really watch much sundevil tape on him, or heed the warnings of asu fans who know well the high volume selfish version of verge.

At the same time I think there's a good side of him that can score in the flow of the offense but really facilitate mainly. And I think Fred is trying to cultivate that.

Imo, maybe I'm a little extreme here,  but I want coach to bench players who refuse to play unselfish. Gotta teach them. They gotta learn the hard way sometimes.

Same. I guess there are things inside Fred's coaching mind that are beyond my understanding.

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

There he is! Dre bruv

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

"we want Andre" chants heheh

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Maybe I'm seeing the holes in Dre's game--- he's raw. Maybe some work rate and effort to be desired too. Maybe Fred wants to see more of thay before he earns time. I think us fans are just hungry for an inside presence so it's hard to not see him logging minutes esp early.

This team will look different in a month or two for sure.

Your First Half Stats:

 

[millerhusker]

Disappointed in the last 4 minutes. Didn't block anybody out and were pretty careless and lazy on both ends. 

[Red Don]

Final Stat Line:

 

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Omfg after leading for most of the game on reb, and still to tie with Idaho st? Ugh bad feeling rn.

Still can't complain.

Go get southern on Sunday.

[Bugeaters1]

Southern is down 11 to South Dakota

[millerhusker]

Kobe and CJ are great teammates. It's no surprise that we were +24 with them on the court. In contrast, we were +3 with Verge on the court. 

[hskr4life]

Very much need these next two if we want to be going up against Michigan .500 or better.

It really seems like we're just getting out hustled for rebounds. Which frustrates me.

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

The hustle and effort definitely leaves much to be desired... Early season but is concerning.
