I think that Ray breaks out tomorrow...

[BigP50]

Nothing really to back that up but I think it happens. All he really needs is two consecutive three's that he can knock down and I think he will be back on track. He only took one shot at Illinois (miss) and it's hard to get in a rhythm when your not constantly firing.

If we continue to say this before every game, we increase our odds of getting it right at some point.

I kept saying my slot was going to hit the other day, and I ran my 30 bucks down to zero.... On the other hand the lady that sat down after me stuck a 5 in and hit 50. I don't know if that's a sign that we should stick with Ray until the end, or if we will strike gold with someone else.

[Shuttlesworth]

Honestly wouldn't mind seeing him back in the starting lineup to see if that gets him going. Not saying we should allocate minutes any differently, but get him some early looks to try to shake this slump.

[Huskerpapa]

I have been saying that Ray is about to break out of slump for the past several games.  I am hoping that eventually you (and I) are correct.

[bball23]

I still feel Ray is one of the key parts to the end of the year.  We need him to have one of his "hot" nights that he was having last year.  Now is the best time to do it!  End the year hot Ray!

[BigP50]

I think that tomorrow is a huge bounce back game. Shavon, Terran, Walt and Ray all struggled to find their shots against Illinois. I dont see that happening two games in a row.

[colhusker]

I would say Terran, Shavon and Walt have a much better chance of finding their shot.  Ray looks like he is still going backwards.

I think that Terran looks to attack the basket more this game.

...or perhaps you should stop gambling

The coaches have brought this up when pressed by the media this week.

If Ray is still slumping they're going to roll the dice with Hawkins and hopefully he's up to the task on the defensive end.

[Cookie Belcher]

We have had people posting this for the last 5 games. I mean, I guess someone will be right eventually but it seems pretty hollow at this point.

It's a good thing you don't run this message board on a spiral-bound notebook...

[HoiBall]

I like Rey being a part of this team, and am happy that he can enjoy success in his senior season, but do we have any evidence that he is a "good" shooter. Or just a shooter who happens to get hot every 6 or 7 games. I mean, any average shooter can find his stroke every now and then. Rey has not been consistent enough for us (like an Ogelsby for Iowa) to call him a shooter who is the guy we go to for an outside shot.

[lanigan123]

Ray will be needed against Illinois or Wisconsin!

[nebrasketball10]

IF we open this thing up tomorrow... IF... I don't mind letting ray use it as an opp to fire away and try to get things going.

[jimmykc]

I think this mantra is becoming a jinx. When is someone going to title a thread something like "Rey/Ray is going to suck again" just to break the streak.

Pretty sure we have the subtle version of this thread floating around

I don't agree with that. Hawkins is awful on defense. Not to pick on the kid for playing his heart out. At least Ray can play defense, and if Petteway, Shields, and Pitchford are in at the same time, we have enough scorers to get an off night from Ray.

at the same time...if rey isnt making shots, he is a mismatch on d against bigger defenders, espicially with benny in at the same time, and its gives one scorer on the court at times, and isnt a reliable ball handler, at least hawkins can hit shot, play average defense and can be a secondary ball handler

That's pretty much what I said.

[Huskerpapa]

Sounds like Coach Miles and Ray had somewhat of a come to Jesus meeting this week...anxious to see the results of that meeting this afternoon.

[AuroranHusker]

Will definitely be interesting to hear Miles after the ballgame, because I imagine someone will ask Coach about the Gallegos situation... I only hope it's after RayRay triples down the Northwestern zone.

If it's anything like Rivers' come to Jesus moment, we should be in very good shape.
