Scrimmage vs UTAH


TourneyBound

Recommended Posts

 

The Husker team on the floor at the above moment was Sam H, Boogie, Eli, Josiah and Matar.

 

Matar was under the rim when Sam H got the rebound at about the FT line. Sam sprints down the floor with the ball and the camera focusses on him bringing the ball up the floor. He then does a crossover and drives to the mid-line of the floor and Matar comes back into view and you can see that Matar has already gotten down under the OTHER basket, 94 feet away from where he's first shown, and is boxing out for Sam.

 

When was the last time we had a big man who could beat a guard to the other end of the floor?

 

And, yeah, Sam wasn't going full throttle and didn't go in a straight line. But, still. Matar went about 94 feet in the same amount of time that Sam went about 74 feet. Matar beat EVERYONE to the other end of the floor.

Would it be fair to assume that the first half was likely starters versus starters while the second half was more of a mixed bag?

 

Does it really matter?  I'm sure that both coaches weren't really out there to try and "win" anything.  More just getting live reps against someone other than your own team.

Two seasons ago I saw Ed at hy-vee shopping. No joke, he was using a motorized scooter to get around. If that doesn’t epitomize his time here, I don’t know what does. 

 

This is the kind of Info I expect to get when I come to this board!!  Love it!  lol

Personally no clue. That was the common take on this board at the time so when I saw him in the cart it made me lol. 

 

I also saw him riding around in a cart at Hy-Vee, even chatted him up for 30 seconds. I chalked it up to him being quirky.

Seems like he had a solid year at Fresno State and he was one of the best players on their team in the last month of the season. 

 

Seems like one of those post players where he really pays off year 4.  Seems like we might have been better off if Keita would have flipped when Matt A was dumped and thus Andre stuck around but it still doesn't seem like a big 'what if' even now knowing what we know.

Maybe he wanted to read the labels on the lower shelves and was afraid of hurting his back when he bent down. 😀

It would seem that Rollie Worster hit four 3s in the first half of the scrimmage at the PBA. 
The guy has never made more than three in a game in his entire career.

Direct quote from Fred at Big Ten Media Day.

Asked about how last year’s scrimmage against Utah showed him what they’re getting in Rollie:

“Well he made four 3’s against us in the first half. So I told him, I know you like shooting in PBA.”

Before social media I still wanted to know what the team looked like in preseason scrimmages and practices and couldn't wait for the season to start...

 

This-- like if we played hard to win, it's not a bad result. If we spread the minutes out, it's a pretty dang good result. How'd our shooting look in a road arena? What lineups played a lot together and who started/was in there at the end, etc.
