aphilso1 Posted December 5 Report Posted December 5 Well dang. He has quickly become one of our most irreplaceable players. That's not great to hear. Quote
Handy Johnson Posted December 5 Report Posted December 5 He’s the REAL X Factor on this Team isn’t he? Huge Ceiling & his ability to play the 5 as others have mentioned let’s you move Essiegan into the Starting Lineup or Mix & Match. Road Wins are at Premium in the B1G & I hope he’s got his Sea Legs by Saturday. Quote
hskr4life Posted December 5 Report Posted December 5 My guess is out vs MSU and back for Indiana. thrasher31, basketballjones, ShortDust and 3 others 6 Quote

Will he stay when Berke returns is the question. Quote

Unlike a LONG list of Recent Bigs, he’s actually Played Basketball Vinny 1 Quote
HuscurAdam Posted December 5 Report Posted December 5 With a full week off before the next game, I imagine they will play it safe and hold him out against MSU. He's too important to risk a setback that could derail his entire season when another week of healing is there for the taking. thrasher31 1 Quote

Depends on your perspective I suppose. To me, it's excellent news to hear that he's able to do some live work already. I was kind of penciling him out until the new year at least so it seems to me like maybe he's a little be ahead of schedule! Handy Johnson and Brick 2 Quote

I'll happily sacrifice a league game or two if it means we can have a fully healthy Berke for the other 18. REDZONEDAN and cornfed24-7 2 Quote
B-town hoopsfan Posted December 5 Report Posted December 5 If we can win at MSU with Berke out this weekend then this team is definitely legit. Gonna be a tough task as there’s only 15 fouls to go around instead of 20 for the front court. EAbby and Handy Johnson 1 1 Quote

Gonna be a tough task as there’s only 15 fouls to go around instead of 20 for the front court. They are well balanced. Scored 90 last night with nobody scoring more than 12. 8 guys scored 7 or more. For the season they have 7 guys that average between 7.7 and 12.4. However, they only shoot 25.7 from 3 Edited December 5 by No Place Like the Vault thrasher31, Vinny and Handy Johnson 3 Quote

We also had 6 days to get ready. Have 6 days for Indiana too. Great opportunity to start 2-0. Handy Johnson and nuhusker7 2 Quote
Huskerpapa Posted December 6 Report Posted December 6 It's either healed, or not. If it is medically healed, and he is cleared to play, you play him. Quote
roscoe Posted December 6 Report Posted December 6 Maybe he needs to go to doctor that miraculously healed As*worth for blue team. Initial diagnosis was 6-8 weeks then reduced to month and low and behold he plays against Domers on November 30th. Fakers fake! Brick 1 Quote

Sidelines - Nebraska Posted December 6 Report Posted December 6 Bold prediction: Berke plays limited minutes (8-10 minutes) and gets hot from three randomly on Saturday. Vinny 1 Quote
