uneblinst's postgame chatter: vol 16; ed 1 - Lindenwood

What encouraged me during the Lindenwood game is the way in which we quickly got into our offensive sets. In years past, especially in the early season games, the team often looked confused and disjointed when attempting to initiate the offense. Not so Monday night. 

Have been told that Keisei was back practicing yesterday.

We sure as hell don’t need him for Florida A&M, but still a good sign.

they said game time decision on him tomorrow

Yeah, he may be 95%, but count me as being in the camp on holding him out one more game.  I want him to be 100%!  I am satisfied if we win by 30, rather than 40 if Keisei plays.

It's sort of funny to me how people seem to be down a bit on Boogie. I saw a guy who passes like he knows where everyone is supposed to be on offense, was able to hit our bigs for easy buckets, and at least one Sam Griesel backdown on a smaller defender.

Totally agree with this!!  When he came in first half it was 11-8 and then we went on a run….

JL had a couple of nice threes but also missed a couple of layups that he would’ve made last year. I agree with a previous commenter- it did appear he was pressing a bit. But he will be fine.

Lawrence actually only shot 50% at the rim last year which is pretty poor, and that showed up on film. He's not terribly explosive athletically, and touch around the rim has looked to be a problem as well. That's definitely an area in which he needs to improve if he's going to be the player Nebraska fans think he can be.

54% on close 2s last year. Probably below average right? But it was on relatively low volume (Griesel took 4x as many close 2s and was 57.8%). JL was shooting 28.5% from the field prior to entering the rotation. In conference play, I was pretty impressed with his ability, as a true freshman, to finish through contact in the lane. 54% on close 2s was where Glynn Watson was at as a senior. 

Lost to ISU tonight 102-47....

BTN has a condensed version of NU-Lindenwood Friday at 8 am on the schedule.
