uneblinstu's postgame chatter : vol 17; ed 22-Oregon

It's becoming apparent to me that for this team to win:

1. Brice and Juwan don't have to be "great," but they do have to fulfill their roles and expectations. And Juwan specifically, needs to not be something he's not. 

2. Rollie has to hit a shot or two and be more of an offensive threat. 

Everything else kinda can fall into place if those things happen. You can get different things from different guys night to night if those two things are working. Sometimes it's a Morgan post game, sometimes it's an Essegian 3pt fest. Or sometimes it's just an overall incredible team defensive effort.

Whatever it may be, Brice and Juwan have to do their thing, and Rollie needs to be a point guard that can actually be a threat. 

Fred is 4 wins away from tying his grandfather Jerry Bush for 8th on the all-time wins record at Nebraska

What a story it would be for him to tie or pass his grandfather with that win coming in our first game in the NCAA tournament.

If we’re gonna make the tournament he needs to pass him before the regular season is over.

Ha, shoot, I read it too fast and thought he was 8 wins away.  Agree completely...passing him in a first round NIT win wouldn't feel quite the same.

But it would be the most Nebraska Basketball way to reach a generational coaching achievement

Speaking of which, did everyone notice we had a new PA Announcer for the Illinois game??? Wasn’t sure if the regular guy was just sick, or if it’s a permanent switch? 

Dorchester native Drew Denker. 

Brice and Juwan have less pressure if Morgan can give us 12+ points or Connor can hit 5+ threes
