    uneblinstu's post game chatter: vol 5, ed 7 - Wake Forest

      gallery_2_8_45208.jpg

      - In my opinion, it’s a pretty big honor to have Bobby Valvano call our game during V Week.

      - Nice to get off to start off 14-6.

      - Liked some of what we did early defensively. Thought we did a nice job of keeping Wake from running. Some nice rotations and help.

      - Had some chances to extend the lead that it would have been nice to have. At the end of the half, too. That said, when Wake had opportunities after their run, they missed some opportunities, too.

      - Not sure I’m a fan of having Menke, Parker, Peltz and Rivers all on the floor at the same time.

      - Gave up a handful of put backs that were unfortunate. That could be a bit of a bad trend starting to develop.

      - Ubel is doing a lot of really good things.

    - Talley doing a little too much dancing on the perimeter. Not sure if he’s good enough to do a lot of that. I’d like to see him run the offense a little more. He’ll get plenty of looks in the flow of the offense.

    - Nice to see Andre finish that little hook a few times, in traffic, too.

    - Perimeter defense struggled a bit there during Wake’s run. That could be another disturbing trend developing…

    - Our guards struggle from the line a little more than guards should.

    - Really like the response and composure after Wake’s run.

    - Almedia looked fairly quick when he had to move laterally a few times, both ends of the floor and when a player has to shoot over him, he’s intimidating. He just needs to stay on the court. Wake really had no one who can guard him and that shot was falling tonight. Andre’s really good when that’s happening.

    - When Gallegos comes off that high screen at the top of the lane, he’s really good at knocking down that jumper.

    - Great energy to start the half. I think it caught Wake a little off guard.

    - Good to see Gallegos knock some shots down, too. Huge game from him.

    - The story on Saturday was that no one but Talley and Ubel showed up. Not the case tonight.

    - Thought Peltz played really great tonight. Nice spark plug and he’s steady.

    - Offense looked pretty crisp in the second half. Helps when they knock down shots.

    - Huge game from Andre and Ray was phenomenal tonight. They don’t need them to explode every night to be competitive, but they do need them to show up. The talent is there.

    This was just a complete effort from Nebraska tonight, especially in the second half. I'm not going to make any claims that Wake Forest is a good basketball team, but they did seem to have some talent that's struggling to figure out basketball as this level. But, I love the passion that Nebraska played with tonight, I loved the fight and the response that they showed after Wake went on that run in the middle of the first half. There was a lot that went right for the guys and I'm glad that this team doesn't play as though they are aware of the expectations on this team. There will be rough days ahead, but tonight was a good one, enjoy it. Good win, tonight!

    This is the only second game ive been able to watch........so far I've been very impressed with our coaches. I really like our spacing on offense thus far and feel its light years ahead of what it was in the previous years. I think in the upcoming years when we have more guys to work with that fit this offense it could be pretty fun basketball to watch. I of course was encouraged with Doc early on because his kids player very hard for him....but so far, I think Miles is going to bring a brand of basketball to Lincoln we all can enjoy and the guy knows how to sell sell sell. Get thru this year Husker fans and then enjoy the ride!

    So long as he brings it home on the recruiting front. I don't care how good a coach Miles is, he won't succeed here if he doesn't get the players. Coaching is only going to get us so far. And, keep in mind that there are a lot of good coaches in the B1G.

    Now, on the bright side, recruiting-wise, I think we have some assistants who seem to "get it" and understand what we need to accomplish. I say this based on some personal observations and just some things that I've read and picked up. I can't give you a link. We'll see if it produces dividends. Arguably it has already. We'll see what the guys can actually do once they get here, but it's not hard to look around and find reasons to feel hopeful.
