Grand Valley State vs. Nebraska (Exh.)

[Bugeaters1]

I have been mulling on whether to post a game thread for this one. But here we are for another season.

Enjoy the video.

I see GVSU played Toledo in an exhibition Saturday and lost 77-71. They have some pretty good guards, it sounds like. Probably a decent D-II team.

I'm excited as it's a basketball game.  lol..but I spoke to Albert Maxey the other day and he said that he wishes Nebraska would play in some tournament or something that has meaning instead of these types of games.

As in a tournament at home or something different for an exhibition?

We are in a tournament in Hawaii, of course.

 

Speaking of Albert, here he is on the 1958-59 "basketball brochure", the name they gave the predecessor of the media guide

The Beastie Boys played Peony Park in ‘92 with the House of Pain & L7

Let's say 6-9 3pt shooting forward William Dunn is your opponent to watch today.

[Bugeaters1]

Starting Lineup: Rollie Worster, Connor Essegian, Brice Williams, Juwan Gary and Braxton Meah. Essegian gets the nod in the starting five.

Sweet Jesus Rollie looks like an outside linebacker. 
Dude is huge

He didn't specify, just said something pre season with teams of the level we will be playing during the season.  These exhibition games mean nothing to him. The NCAA would probably need to get rid of exhibition games to do that though.

I see that there was an upgrade in the corner scoreboards.

Wi-Fi is also a lot better... Granted the arena is half empty.

Lol I certainly hope the rest of the season is more exciting than is talking about how bouncy and orangey the basketballs are.

Well we are only in preseason shape right now.

Very true...but I would hope that we would be a lot further in the lead at half than 5 points.  

[Huskerpapa]

Grew up with Wilson balls, glad they are back.  Team chemistry still not there.  Also, we are built for the Big Ten...we seem fast but not overly quick.  Will quick teams cause us issues?

Rollie is doing great!

[Silverbacked1]

Okay half time thoughts 

 

GVS is a scrappy bunch. We might want to watch to see how their season goes in DII 

 

even though the score is close. I am not worried much early. We can pass. Our D isn’t too bad for a  first scrimmage. We are legitimately two deep at every position. 
the good

When Brice and Gary are on the floor everything seems to run very well. 
both points guards will truly make this team solid

Buyuktucel is good to very good

we run good sets to have guys wide open in good spots to score

we must’ve lived in the weight room because a few of these guys our big, big , big

the bad

3 point shooting tonight is a bit off

we look really tired like maybe we practiced earlier in the day or went hard last night 

rebounding could be better but I think it will with the addition of Morgan when healthy

u already miss the state of Nebraska outline on the court

and we need to quit shrinking the uniforms because a couple of these guys look like 5 pounds of sausage being jammed into ac3 pound caseing. 
also will need to bring my readers now because I am having a hell of a time reading these messages and can’t really see the keyboard so am making more mistakes than usual
