Nebraska (10-11) vs. Maryland (13-7) Game Thread

[Red Don]

Final Stats:

I'm getting so tired of seeing the Huskers continually Hosed by Crooked Officials. FT discrepancy tells the story. 26 for Maryland vs 15 for the Huskers. (13 FTA's for Maryland vs ONE FTA for the Huskers at the Half - They know they're crooked; trying to cook the books in the 2nd half to make it look less obvious). Same for the Ladies. Iowa with 22 FTAs in today's game vs. 11 for the Huskers.

Kudos to Sam. It honestly looks like we would have been much better off giving him CJ’s wasted minutes all year.

Difficult to win when Sam Hoiberg becomes your offensive threat.  That in no way diminishes how Sam played today.

If anything, Sams play should be keeping us in games.  The fact he’s playing the way he is and we’re still losing by 20 is… disappointing… to say the least

The two-man game with Walker and Griesel has run its course against Big Ten teams. They’re forcing it and turning it over too much. We now have two players who are shooting the ball really well (Lawrence and Hoiberg) and another who is still a threat (Keisei). Let’s go back to running the offense and generating open perimeter shots. Hoiberg’s offense has always done that, we just usually have had a total of zero players who could consistently knock down those open looks. Lawrence and Keisei did not get enough touches today. It’ll open things up for Walker and Griesel more.
We also need to stagger the rotation somehow to never insert CJ and Wilhelm into the game at the same time, as they usually do. It ruins any momentum that we had built.

I’m sorry but you’re wrong. The way they guard Kesei is way more aggressive because they know how’s our best shooter. Sam is playing great, but it’s not the same. And Sam is a better defender but not by much. They are already exposing his size on the other end 

But it’s not my opinion. 
 

In roughly 25min:

 

SH:  15pts (6/8), 3rb, 1TO, better defense

KT:  3pts (1/3), 2rb, 2TO, worse defense

 

Like I said, small sample size, but Sam deserves at least to split minutes with KT at this point.  KT is a random X factor and not at all dependable.  This is the first time they’ve split minutes so there is no other statistic to draw from.  
 

I also disagree entirely that Sam isn’t much better defensively than Keisei.  Sam is extremely active and physical with better anticipation and lateral quickness.  The kid is in the weight room.  Sorry.

Why are we arguing Team Sam vs Team Keisei when CJ clearly has played worse than both?

Wilcher doesn't deserve to play, he seemingly quits whenever things don't go his way. It's disgusting to watch him on the "box out" on FTs as he usually stands looking away from the action like he's LeBron James or somethin'. I don't get it.

I’m not really.  My original statement was I’d take SH over both right now.

Is this why we lured Fred here? To get his son to commit? 

 

If he was a better recruiter he would have gotten BOTH sons!

How’s this take working out for you? Sam has been incredible but Keisei is carrying this team and I LOVE IT

Not well!  It has definitely shaken out the other way!  Hats off to the kid!

Wow, tough crowd.  You've been holding this one in your back pocket for quite some time!  Hopefully no one takes.the time to find all my strong opinions I have been horribly wrong about.

I wasn't paying close enough attention, and thought this was tonight's game. Oh boy, that was a wild ride.

Yeah that was a pretty deep cut he went for I even said it was a small sample size! Sam Hoiberg is no flash in the pan but Keisei has been out of his mind.  I celebrate my wrong hot take with all of you!

I look at this game as the poor man's "No Sit Sunday."

 

Huge game.

You're not alone, eating a bit of crow over Keisel myself and for the record, I hope he keeps the hot steamy plates of the bird coming.
