1. Verge is learning

Verge has been much better with his decision making over the past two games. A big reason why was that he took a look in the mirror and realized turning the season around started with him.
“Me,” Verge said when asked about the lack of ball movement earlier in the season. "It starts with me. I’m the floor general; I’m the point guard, so it starts with me getting my teammates involved…
On Sunday, he shot 4-for-5 and helped the Huskers assist on 18 of their 27 makes.

2. Bryce is getting better very quickly

His willingness to manufacture opportunities instead of settling for tough shots has been one of the most pleasant signs of his rapid development through the first five games for Hoiberg.
“I thought his attack was great getting to the rim, getting to the line 10 times… Making plays, rebounding - to get 11 rebounds - that’s all very important in his growth process.”

3. Edwards remains a starter, but his production is lacking

“Keon gives us a physical presence out there, and he’s going to knock down shots,” Hoiberg said. “He’s done a really good job setting the tone defensively in games and he helps us on the glass as well.”

Glad Hoiberg pulled Lat for being lazy. If he's not making threes, he's been hurting us more than helping us. 

He hasn’t been making threes for two years now so…..
