Valparaiso Game Thread: What the winner don't know......

[cipsucks]

9-0 Husker run. Who would have seen that coming....

[cipsucks]

28-22 Huskers at the half.

So far, so good.

Good defensive half, but I don't think Valpo will be missing layups all night. Impressive half by Rivers and Ubel. Would like to see Parker and Talley get a bit more involved on offense, but I think we have a good shot at the victory tonight

[cipsucks]

Valpo only had 1 three-pointer.

Best buckle up in the second half.....

Liked this signs I've seen during the game so far. Special props to these guys:

[Buglem]

Ray continues to shoot well. Overall 48% from the field for the team isn't bad. Every game they are improving. That's all we can ask. Agree on Parker, he's better than I expected.

[cipsucks]

We finished the half strong. I hope we can finish the game the same way. We didn't against Southern.

[Cybrrmonky]

Rey Rey is waaayy better than prior years. He looks like he knows how to score the ball. Parker looks pretty good for a true frosh, appears he'll struggle some defensively but he's not a stiff on the offensive end. Ubel's much more confident & aggressive. Almedia helps us alot we need him to stay healthy, fouls will always be an issue with him though. Talley has some explosion, now that we finally can see him with 2 healthy legs.

Our 1st 5 isn't too bad. Depth is going to kill us once we get into the conference.

I already like Miles' motion offense more than anything Doc & Barry did.

.....well. Except for Almeida's knees.

[cipsucks]

.....well. Except for Almeida's knees.

Hey, they have a lot of pressure on them...

[HuskerFever]

Putting up too many bad/rushed shots to start the 2nd half.

[cipsucks]

Rey, what can I say?

[cipsucks]

Way to go, Andre!

[cipsucks]

Rey is on fire. Way to go, kid!

[cipsucks]

Huskers up 14. Holy Cow!

[Noah121]

Time out, Valpo! The Huskers are up 38-26. I'm back from the Northwestern game that they tenaciously sneaked by the Delta Devils, 81-68.

Coast to Coast! 40-26. Timeout.

[HuskerFever]

Let it be known. Parker is my guy this year. Hard to walk in the feet of Jeter, Beranek, and Walker the past few years.

Just think how much he'll improve over his career here.

[Noah121]

Valpo is now 2/12 on threes, on a 5-0 run. Almeida misses... and the drive and basket for Valpo. 40-33.

Foul on Valpo. But we're rushing shots. Valpo missed a three... before Rivers misses a jumper from 12 feet.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-do! CHAAAAAARGE! 40-33 at the 12-minute timeout.

[cipsucks]

Huskers need a bucket out of this time out.

[cipsucks]

Ubel back to back. Sweet!

[Noah121]

Uuuu-bel, (42-33), and then a ball off the foot of Valpo on the other end.

Ubel then hits a hook shot! 44-33.

[doc1394]

Awesome pass from Talley!

46-37

[Noah121]

Was that a shot or a pass? The Huskers couldn't take advantage of whatever it was. Valpo then scores (44-37) and there was a dead ball (not sure what it was).

Nice entry to Rivers for the easy layup! 46-37.

Nothing doing on the other end... here come the Huskers! But Parker shoots long from beyond the arc.

**HONK** 7:52 left as Valpo commits their tenth turnover. Husker ball, but first there's a timeout on the floor (SO PICK IT UP!)

[cipsucks]

We're up 9 with 7:52 to go. Guess what, we're not that bad.
