The +/- Thread

[Vinny]

To me, GG he looks lost on both ends. Thinking about everything he does rather than reacting instinctively and being ahead of the play. He’s always behind by a beat.

I agree with you and it's shocking cause he didn't look like this when he played at Rutgers.  We could use him in the rotation so hopefully it will just take a few shots to go in for him to gain some confidence cause it looks like he doesn't have any at the moment.

This looks like more than a confidence issue. Poor kid looks like he got zapped by the Monsters from Space Jam and the only way he gets his basketball skills back is if Jordan comes out of retirement and beats the Monstars with a bunch of Looney Tunes.

He just needs some of that secret stuff.

Back to Michigan St. game.  Its pretty frustrating our two supposed returning leaders had the worst +/- on the team!  Hopefully they rebound in a big way Friday night!

I was so focused on the Williams stat that I totally missed Gary right there at the bottom too. That spells a recipe for disaster.

When Brice and Juwan are on, we are tough to beat. They just gotta stop taking their foot off the gas some games.

Worster being +18 with the amount of time he sat with foul trouble is shocking.

Watching it I thought Morgan really struggled, and this seems to bear that out. Murray State stats very different for him.

I think that Hawaii made a big effort to take Morgan out of the ball game.

Thanks @TourneyBound. I've been dropping the ball, unlike our team in Hawaii. 

 

I'll just do a +/- recap for the whole Hawaii trip:

 

Gary +48

Essegian +40

Williams +28

Meah +26

Worster +24

Hoiberg +21

Berke +20

Morgan +6

Jacobsen +1

 

Season +/- Per Game

Gary +8.5

Williams +7.7

Worster +7.4

Essegian +7.3

Berke +5.8

Hoiberg +5.4

Meah +5.3

Griffiths +4.8

Jacobsen +3.3

Morgan +1.4

Ulis +0.7

 

Not surprising that Fred has really settled in on the top 6 +/- per game as being our game finishing rotation, going with Berke at the 5. I really like how we are closing games out. We've turned a lot of close, competitive games into double-digit wins with solid play down the stretch and free throw converting. 

 

Noticed some more Brice running the point guard in Hawaii, even when Rollie was on the court. Is it just me or does Rollie slip and fall a lot with the ball? I don't even think he's playing out of control, he just literally seems to lose his balance and fall down a lot and give the ball away or almost give it away. Surprising he is only averaging 1.8 turnovers per game because it feels more like 3 every game. 

 

Either way, loving this moment in time of being a Nebraska basketball fan. I'll never take consistent winning for granted. GBR!

I think you’re right, Rollie is on the court without contact or with very little contact several times a game.

[ShortDust]

I watched a lot of the games in the tournaments and I swear they were terrible at cleaning up the floors and numerous people were slipping with no contact. I feel like there had to be moisture or something on the court. 

 

Very fortunate in my eyes that no one was hurt from it. For any of the teams involved for that matter.

Not sure how it looks over long stretches or against big lineups but Berke as the small ball 5 has generated the best net efficiency vs our other 2 centers

Feel like that's how Fred likes to finish our games out as well. 

[B-town hoopsfan]

I don’t think we ever get to see it but what a lineup of death this coulda been. 
 

1. Worster

2.Griffith’s

3.Williams 

4.Gary

5.Berke

in theory should been our most versatile group on offense and woulda had length for days in our defensive game plan.
