Roster Challenge

[Norm Peterson]

Using ONLY our current roster (assuming all players will be eligible), construct two unique* starting lineups that you believe would have won a best of 5 series against each of Hoiberg's first three Husker teams.

 

Go!

 

* "unique" means a player from the current roster can only be on one or the other of your fictional starting lineups but not both.

Okay, I’ll play…

 

Coleman, Tominaga, Wilcher, Eli, Mast (Sub:  Sam)

This team will flat-out shoot any of those first 3 teams out of the gym.

 

Lawrence, Ramel, Brice, Gary, Allick (Sub: Cale)

This team wins with defense…size, length, and athleticism in spades. None of those 3 teams had the heart to compete; this team would crush their will.

Funny thing is, you could go to Huskers dot com and display the roster in two column format and pick a starting lineup from each column and basically come up with a squad  from either side that could very well beat any of Hoiberg's first three teams in a best-of-five.

 

So ...

 

Coleman, Tominaga, Wilcher, Gary, and either Diop or Rice on the left-hand side.

 

Uhlis, Lawrence, Williams, Allick, Mast from the right-hand side.

[Norm Peterson]

Here's a lineup for ya:

 

PG Jarron Coleman, 6'5", 213#

SG CJ Wilcher, 6'5", 214#

SG Brice Williams, 6'7", 213#

SG Eli Rice, 6'8", 213#

C Matar Diop, 6'10", 213#

 

I mean, CJ could probably spit in a cup before weigh-in is all I'm saying.

This one is fun, roster depth makes it easier

 

I have no team preference here and not using Uhlis because I doubt he will play this year

 

1. Coleman, Keisei, Wilcher, Gary, Mast

 

2. Lawrence, Williams, Rice, Allick, Diop

 

Two Freshman starting for team 2 I think would give it trouble against last year's team, but, I think the other 3 are going to be studs which makes up for it
