basketballjones Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Give me a starting 5 of Petteway, a confident (mentally confident) Shields, Brian Conklin, Cary Cochran, and Nate Johnson. I'm not sure we'd have many rebounds but it's not like we do now. At least Shields and Petteway would have plenty of room to drive because of the outside shooting of the others, and Nate's ability to drive as well.There we have it folks. The final circle of Nebraska Basketball Hell. The stage where we start to bring back names from our torrid past. "If only we would just have this guy and this guy from that team and that era, we'd be fine."Obviously we've been talking about missing Rey all year, but that's not uncommon for any team to miss a senior from the year before. But when we start bringing up the Conk's name, you know the season is over. Took us a while this year, proud of everyone. HuskerActuary, ladyhusker, 49r and 1 other 4 Quote
49r Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 So does that mean I can now talk about how much I miss Bo Spencer then? Quote
basketballjones Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 A quandary for you, 49r - if Bo Spencer and Terran Petteway are on the same team - who shoots the ball? ladyhusker 1 Quote

But when we start bringing up the Conk's name, you know the season is over. Took us a while this year, proud of everyone. You miss my point jones. I was merely pointing out (in a thread talking about how nobody wants or is capable of shooting a three), that in the past we've had guys that were capable of shooting and more than willing to shoot the three. I've seen plenty of other threads where people have made comparisons to players from the past. Didn't know we were only allowed to talk about previous year's players, and after that it puts us in a circle of basketball hell. Why is bringing up Conklin's name to you a sign that our season is truly over? The guy shot 56% his Senior year from distance (66-118) and shot 65% from the outside in Big 12 play. Statistically he ranked 1st in the nation amongst all players with at least 20 3 point attempts. Yeah, talking about that sad sap surely means we're all doomed to hell. basketballjones 1 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 AFAIC, Conk & Drevo were a couple ballers that this team could use THIS YEAR! (possibly even at their present age.... ) PeltzFan12 1 Quote
Norm Peterson Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Posted February 27, 2015 At their present ages, I don't think they'd be eligible. I could be wrong. Someone in compliance should check. No, wait ... Quote
AuroranHusker Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 At their present ages, I don't think they'd be eligible. I could be wrong. Someone in compliance should check. No, wait ... I mean: they can still shoot straight. So, a 35yo baller is not something you'd want, Normy? Quote
Cazzie22 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Has Coach Miles "lost" this team? If so, with most returning, will that endanger next season? Quote
AuroranHusker Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Has Coach Miles "lost" this team? If so, with most returning, will that endanger next season? Nope, not a chance. Keep in mind that the past 2 games the opponent has shot over 50% in each game. That hadn't happened in 38 games in ONE game, let alone two. The defense is still the key, but the offense has to figure out how to grab an early lead & continue to score to win a ballgame!! Quote

hhcmatt Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 A quandary for you, 49r - if Bo Spencer and Terran Petteway are on the same team - who shoots the ball? If TP is back next season I think you see his shot total throttle down ala Gallegos his senior year. (Not that much but less than this year) Quote
Red Don Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 I've surveyed the threads on here since yesterday and there's a lot of angst and worry about our offense. Which is certainly understandable. Our offense is pretty bad right now.......................... The answer seems pretty obvious - We just need Avery to design all our Plays! (We WON that Game!) hhcmatt and Silverbacked1 2 Quote
