Navin R. Johnson Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Watching KT play got me thinking about what kind of shape this kid is in. He is playing almost full game minutes now and he is running all over the place to try to get open as team are face guarding and going no catch on him. He plays with so much energy and emotion the kid has to be exhausted after every game. royalfan, cornfed24-7 and Swan88 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basketballjones Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) I have two work-around ideas... 1. Have KT's parents invest in "BBB Printing," so any profits realized from the sales of their shirts can be funnelled there. Or something. I'm clearly very intelligent and knowledgeable about business. 2. Play a game in Japan, so while he is in Japan he can participate in NIL deals like Jaz Shelly did this summer. Take enough boosters and we can make it worth it while he's there. Edited February 23 by basketballjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC schools can take one every 4 years and the last time we took one would have been in summer of 2019 to Italy? Maybe Japan would be a good place for these guys to go?

AuroranHusker Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 (edited) Perusing the statistics for K.T., in the past 5 games, he has averaged 16 shots per game. Prior to that, he had been getting just over 6 shots per game. His scoring average went from 10.3 to 12.7 in that 5-game stretch. Last season, K.T. averaged 5.7. In 2022-23, he has been shooting 49.2% from the field (40.3% from three) and 86% from the line. Last season he shot 37.3% (33.3% from three) and 84.2% from FT line. Significant progress all-around in his offensive game, same could be said defensively. It would be very interesting to see how much more progress Keisei could possibly make. I'd love to keep being able to see it, in Lincoln, that is. Edited February 24 by AuroranHusker Faux Mike Peltz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskerpapa Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 I will say this with utmost respect for Keisei. I thought he struggled a bit today. He certainly may be worn down a bit, and Minnesota did play him exceedingly physical; but he may also be feeling a bit more pressure given the presence of his parents, the crowd expectations and his own expectations. The game to game cramping issue may be tied to this as well. The good news, everyone is picking up their games. The fact that he is on the floor spreads the floor and allows Sam, DW and many others , great driving lanes. Man this is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipsucks Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Tuesday will be a HUGE game for him 2-28-23 in Lincoln. Beau Reid hit the game winning shot against Michigan State on 11-28-80 in Lincoln from 30 feet+. Tominaga will hit a lot of shots from that distance Tuesday. I wouldn't be surprised if Tominaga scores 28! hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
