TourneyBound Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hell of a game but man his body language is frustrating!! Gets down so easily. Needs to keep his head up and stay positive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhusker Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Maybe he gets frustrated being the best option on the offensive end and getting yanked. jaimes2000 and a0t0w0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huskerbaseball13 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 It was time weeks ago. Webster is obviously afraid to shoot the ball right now. He needs to live in the gym over summer. Potential is there. Confidence not so much. But I'd say it's highly unlikely Miles wakes up and gives Biggs more minutes at this point.

huskerbaseball13 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I did. Said Biggs was on the bench the majority of the time at the end due to his defensive play. He could have done and said the same for just about any other Husker tonight. I'm sure Beilien was happy to see Webster on the floor over Biggs.

nuled2dance Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Why did Benny play? I'm shocked more people aren't bringing this up the stretch Benny played we were awful almost four on 5 at offensive end Hooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He said Biggs blew 4 defensive plays/possessions in a row at one point when he pulled Biggs. Â By any chance, did you complain in any other thread about defense in the 2nd half or last 10 minutes? Â It's not enough to score points on the offensive end if you can't get stops on the defensive end. Â Who else blew 4 defensive possessions in a row? Â I'm not in the mood to 2nd guess the coaching. Â I'm not convinced any of you have the expertise to legitimately criticize a guy who has proven in program after program where he's coached that he knows what he's doing. Â He's been successful everywhere he's been. Â So, until you coach a win somewhere beyond 8th grade girls, I'm probably going to put more weight in Miles' decisions than your Monday-morning point guarding.

nuled2dance Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I would agree wih you norm except for the Benny issue. The Benny stretch to ight when he played was brutal for nebraska. I think Biggs can be great and I don't mind tim sending him a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredsSlacks Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm under the impression that Miles doesn't want to bench Webster in fear that he might leave after the season. Â I think it's been pretty clear for weeks that Biggs is the best point guard option for this season. Â Webster probably still has better potential, but he is not the best option at this point. jaimes2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Taylor Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm under the impression that Miles doesn't want to bench Webster in fear that he might leave after the season.  I think it's been pretty clear for weeks that Biggs is the best point guard option for this season.  Webster probably still has better potential, but he is not the best option at this point. I'm not second-guessing TM on the move at all, gotta play D. However, I'm completely ready to abandon the idea that Webster is somehow better because of his potential. Biggs is obviously a better offensive player right now and I don't see that changing next year, unless Tai suddenly starts hitting 50% on 3s. DB's also a pest of defense, just has a lot of breakdowns that can be corrected. And he needs to not get suspended.  But it's time to realize that Biggs is really good, even if nobody ever called him a top 50 recruit. Maybe Tai's better in 2 or 3 years, but DB will be gone by then anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because we got sooooo many stops down the stretch with Webster in the game! Lmao. We still sucked on defense and instead of having Biggs on the floor who was taking it to Mich we had a point guard who is absolutely a non factor on the offensive end. Chalk it up as just another "lesson" for Biggs while we take another big fat loss. jaimes2000 and hugh42 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He leaves, he leaves. Yep time for some tough love. Pull him out and ask him what his goals are. If it's NBA, then it's obvious to us, but it need to be obvious to him how much he has to learn and how much he has to work on. If he wants to quit and go back home and play, then he's not tough enough to work and even approach that potential he has anyway. One players potential shouldn't be an excuse for an entire program taking hits and hindering the programs progress. Miles knows he's only got a short window to have this thing take off here.

He leaves, he leaves. How dare anyone question Miles! It's easy to see to just about anyone...Biggs is the better player right now. And in all reality, it's not close. Did Bigge struggle in some stretches on defense last night? Sure. Was Webster playing enough for him to get the majority of the minutes down the stretch because of it? Nope. We didn't start getting stops on defense once Webster was in the game. Instead we had a player in who currently might as well just stand in the corner on offense.
