Really confused why keisei is sitting so much just catching the latter half of the first half any insight?

He's played about 10 minutes.   They are grabbing and frustrating him.

Love Juwan’s energy!

[cipsucks]

Up 12 with 3 minutes to play in the half.  Be great to see us extend the lead to 15 plus.  At the very least, we need to be up double digits at half.

Love using Keisei as a ball screener when teams want to stay tight to him

This.  There defensive focus seems to be on Keisei, freeing up the others.

[brfrad]

This is the defensive energy I wanted see.  Helps to have Garcia out.

I know Keisei gets chased a lot, but it seems the last couple of games, that he is tugging at his shorts and really tired early in the half.

Where the hell were these guys the other night? 

[cipsucks]

Huskers up by 15 at half!

[Huskerpapa]

Nice half, well done.  Keisei has been a non-factor, but CJ and Brice more than picked up that slack.

[Cazzie22]

Some nice ball movement and some slick passing has helped establish the lead.  Garcia being out doesn’t hurt the cause.  Let’s put another good half to go with the first.

[hal9000]

Gotta play 40 minutes.  Minny came back against OSU the other night.

[millerhusker]

Brice and CJ had great halves. Juwan is doing a lot of little things that lead to winning basketball. 

[Bugeaters1]

59% from the field and 50% from 3

Do you think he is still feeling the repercussion of his ankle injury.   Heck, Blaise is still having issues after 13 months 

[Red Don]

Minnesota playing without Dawson Garcia who left the game early, at the 5 min mark in 1st period with an ankle injury.

 

Huskers lead by 15,   39-24 at the Half

Tominaga did not score in the 1st Half.

What lottery numbers do you like tonight?

Brice Williams going full radon tonight

For most of these players, it was their first time under bright lights, and we melted.  Tonight's 1st half was them losing Garcia, and not being as good of a team as Creighton.

That phantom foul call and automatic review for absolutely nothing on Keisei is what I feared.  Teams are going to do whatever they can to throw him off, make him uncomfortable, and pick up cheap ones on him.

 

This could be aided if he becomes a player that referees “watch” because of a reputation he receives… either real or perceived.

Overall great D to end the half and that was a BIG reason why we’re up 15.  Loving the rim, liking the 3 is doing wonders.

It may be Keisei's reputation or it was a flop they seem to be calling more a foul when the player flops.

[Huskerpapa]

First 5 minutes of the second half will be bib, and that is not a cliche'

That just seemed like a run of the mill flop as opposed to anything Keisei related

[cipsucks]

I think we might see KT get off to a really good second half start.
