hhcmatt Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 UNO is one of the fastest paced teams in the nation. Their adjusted tempos: 2012: 11th in Div 1 2013: 1st in Div 1 2014: 4th in Div 1 2015: 1st in Div 1 so far. There are a lot of teams that say they'll run the ball so even if they don't win at least it will be entertaining....Derrin Hansen walks that talk. They've also had one of the worse defenses during that time. Tre'Shawn Thurman out of Omaha is currently starting for the only Div I school in the state to offer him. Four guys on the roster hail from Omaha. Two of them start. AuroranHusker 1 Quote
throwback Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Spot on - the Mavs are all about pushing the pace. Teams that don't take UNO seriously & treat the game like a glorified scrimmage start finding themselves taking bad shots early in the possession and playing at UNO's pace. Then if UNO's guards are hitting, it becomes a challenging contest. UNO struggles against teams that don't get sucked into playing at that fast pace & are willing to make them work on the defensive end. With good ball movement, NU should find the driving lanes open much of the night, need to 'love the rim' Tuesday. After Saturday's results in Milwaukee & Rhode Island, UNO will have NU's full attention. And defense certainly hasn't been NU's problem area to this point (outside of rebounding anyway). Just avoid shooting the quick 3s 12-15 seconds into the shot clock, get back in transition, and NU should win comfortably. Silverbacked1, hhcmatt and AuroranHusker 3 Quote
1sdpad2 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 I wanted to see Bradley playing for them, but he went back to Norfolk Community College for his sophomore season. Quote
huskerbaseball13 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 We need to protect the PBA again this year as road wins will be hard to come by. We should win by 10+ points if we are on our game. Quote

We should win by 10+ points if we are on our game. If we're really on our game this is going to be the least number of points UNO scores this year. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 We as the old guard will need to make the Vault a jumping place. Kids go home for Thanksgiving Tuesday so that crowd will be down. Quote
AuroranHusker Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Where is the HHCC score contest thread for tomorrow? Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Where is the HHCC score contest thread for tomorrow? I think it is waiting to see if Terran suits up, and if Tai has moved out. Quote
AuroranHusker Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Where is the HHCC score contest thread for tomorrow? I think it is waiting to see if Terran suits up, and if Tai has moved out. Neither. ASCHusker, it awaited. Quote
HuskerFever Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Really a fan of Miles' honesty multiple times early this season. Better to tell the fans there may be issues now rather than let our expectations get ignorantly higher. Quote

Better to tell the fans there may be issues now rather than let our expectations get ignorantly higher. Perhaps a "wake-up call" to our team more so than the fans' expectations. Although it certainly could apply to both. Quote
huskerbaseball13 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 NU Opens as 15 points favs...if Petteway can't play much that seems kind of high. We shall see. Quote
AuroranHusker Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 NU Opens as 15 points favs...if Petteway can't play much that seems kind of high. We shall see. Could be a very interesting, and possibly entertaining, ballgame tonight w/o Terran as far as competitiveness of the final outcome. Quote
Timmy Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 Local media is making UNO out to be better than what they are after the Marquette W. Lets not forget they lost to 1-3 Seattle by 24 and Marquette barely got by New Jersey Institute of Technology last night, winning by 5. Quote

Lets not forget they lost to 1-3 Seattle by 24 and Marquette barely got by New Jersey Institute of Technology last night, winning by 5. That may be. But they have a few guys that could cause us fits. Devin Patterson and Carter are very solid. Quote
49r Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 We can't afford to look past anyone at this point. As long as Terran is hobbled and Walt is ice cold, we're vulnerable. Silverbacked1 and Noah121 2 Quote
