Huskerpapa Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 We played a decent game last night. We had our moments, but defensive breakdowns broke our back. Fran earned his technicals...wait, are you telling me he didn't get one??? HB, Cazzie22, BjoeHusker and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan88 Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Spouting heresy never goes well (here's an exception: Martin Luther died of natural causes, not by execution). But here goes. I thought, last night: the team played hard the team looked to share the ball--even passed up good shots for an extra pass even when Alonzo Verge dribbled around in the paint, he looked to kick-out before going to the hole the coaches coached hard and well--an unusual e.g., their half-time shoot around included practicing defensive closing there are deficiencies on the team, especially when Derrick Walker is forced by fouls to the bench Derrick Walker returning next year is a base from which to work. Such things are examples of why Hoiberg gets another year. And my vote is this: good for them! thrasher31, AuroranHusker and hhcmatt 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Fran with a solid coaching staff and mostly kids recruited from high school. The difference between their Sophomore Lottery pick & our Freshman 2nd Rounder is STARK…, but I agree Fred has not established a foundational base of high school talent.

Game over. Yep, also the 12-5 run at the end of the 1st half doomed NU's chances to play from ahead in the 2nd half.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They followed up the defense work with actual organized shooting warm ups as well and seemed to be focused. I did not get there early enough pre game but would guess / hope that looked more focused as well?

HuskerBB Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Just rewatched the end of the game last night. That Bohannon kid is such a punk dirty player. Glad his 7 years of eligibility are finally out. Before that play at the end in the corner he gave Trey a big shove before they ever inbounded the ball. When they got in the tieup Trey shoved a bit but with his hands on the ball - and Bohannon blew up. His conduct was far worse than anything that Trey did. Then the next time they were taking the ball out - he did the same thing - went to CJ and gave him just a big obvious shove before the ball was inbounded. Oh - and earlier when he faked the eye injury, yes Bryce's hand hit him on the side of the face but only because he used his off hand to give Bryce a big push and knocked Bryce off balance. Not sure there is a player I am more happy to see gone since Jason Sutherland - who played at Missouri about 20+ years ago and was the dirtiest player I can remember.

Ron Mexico Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Why'd we lose that game? Ultimately it was the 19-5 differential in second chance points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I'm not being confrontational, I'm just ignorant and want to learn on this subject. Swan88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhcmatt Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I've watched a lot of player pressers and most times I don't get a lot of out them. I thought it was remarkable how engaged Alonzo Verge was how much he went to bat for Hoiberg here. I thought that most of the presser was worth watching so I went to the trouble of uploading it.

Yeah, considering how often that coach has benched Verge for his various rogue moments, it's impressive how much Verge loves to be coached by Fred Hoiberg.

Red Don Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Thanks for posting the (players) press conference Matt! I thought it was rather curious that the press conference posted on the HuskerHoops Tweet site was only 6:10 long and seemed to consist only of Coach Hoiberg. I guess they didn't post the players conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhcmatt Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 If you're someone who thinks Fred is the guy it's hard to blame the defense in this one as philosophically we're always going to try and beat Iowa 88-84, not 68-64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
