St. Mary's (3-0) Vs. Nebraska (3-0) Game Thread

[GhostOfJoeMcCray]

I’m really struggling to understand what Meah offers. Doesn’t rebound. Rarely alters shots. Not athletic. Is just a body on offense. We’re getting blitzed from the 3 point line on defense. Easily our best game of the season was the one he didn’t play. 
 

Not trying to be a hater, I just wish this experiment would end now so we can move forward with playing Fred Hoiberg style basketball.

The refs are struggling today.  We were not ready at the get go.  Much better the last several minutes.

I think we have to reconsider our starting five.

It was nice of the refs from the USC football game to fly-in to officiate this basketball game

Goaltend reversed. 3 pt game

Defense so good we take points away when we're not even playing!

But Shon Morris said it was an “obvious call”?

 

Didn’t look like ball was within the cylinder when we slapped the net. Glad it got fixed.

 

Close-out a little better on the perimeter, St. Mary’s regresses toward the mean and we can pull this out. Keep fighting and attacking the interior off the dribble-drive. They don’t have our depth, we gotta keep drawing fouls.

I listen to the homers on radio.

How does that work in the 2nd half?  Say a team loses by one.  Do they still reverse it?

[Jacob Bigelow]

If Nebraska is able to throw and land the first punch this half, the roof might come off of this place.

My guess is they review it sooner. 1st half you can wait til halftime.

I would think they would review it quicker.

Don't look now, but we're ahead.

Totally agree. He can provide some depth or needed size when the opponent is big. But I need some Captain Morgan!

Missed a huge opportunity there to go up 7.

And another missed opportunity. Stupid pass in by Woester(sp) 

[MichHusker]

Took the lead and then started doing dumb shit. Nice. 

[Fastbreaker]

Go up by 4Then make stupid play after stupid play after stupid play after stupid play

[cornfed24-7]

Get the lead and promptly crap our pants

[CanadianHusker]

I’ve been disappointed with the PG play. I expected better decision making. Hopefully they can do better the rest of the half. They will need to with Brice on the bench with 4 fouls. That sucks!

[Cazzie22]

Williams having to set is bad. We lost our offensive movement and as a result trail.

For all the talk about how finally having true PG's would make a difference we sure aren't seeing it this game.

[Cazzie22]

Probably need to get Williams into the game. Down 4 and can’t get down much more.

I hope this will be more of the outlier than the norm. Rollie seems in a better position than Uhlis but we will see how it goes.

Ulis, Gary and Meah on the court together was a disaster.

The one person that can't get in foul trouble going forward is Williams. Just can't.

[cornfed24-7]

This is beyond frustrating

[Cazzie22]

That Lewis 3 might be the dagger.  We are having such a time scoring and we are not getting to the FT line.

[GhostOfJoeMcCray]

9 guys have played 14+ minutes. And Griffiths has 7.

 

St. Mary’s has 6 guys with 14+ minutes.
 

Yes we’ve had a little foul trouble but this has been our M.O. and I don’t like it. Trying too hard to keep guys happy and it’s killing us. 
 

Ulis and Hoiberg can’t score at all but Hoiberg does just about everything else better than Ulis. They shouldn’t both be playing. Brice needs to be PG when Worster needs a break.
