uneblinstu's postgame chatter: vol 15, ed 30: Michigan State
roscoe and 25 others reacted to CanadianHusker for a topic
Took my 3 boys and my brother-in-law to our first game at PBA. Drove over 2,200 miles to get there just for the game! Okay, maybe it’s because we are moving from BC to Ontario and stopped for a few days at my in-laws near Council Bluffs. But when I saw the game was on the schedule with senior night, I knew we needed to go! The 1st half did not disappoint, especially when the crowd erupted after KT’s pump fake and amazing 3! And my 6 year-old son and I yelled for a lot of the defensive possessions even though from 304 we probably didn’t make a ton of noise. Such fun! I told them Sparty would start making shots, but the 2nd half was crazy. It was a letdown for sure, but my boys and I will always cherish this game! We have a great arena and a tough team. Let’s keep building on this! Thanks to all of you on this board that make it so great, and all of you who go to the games to make PBA great! GBR! By the way, the Sparty fan next to me leaned over with 2 minutes to go and said, “These refs are sh*t.” I said, “Welcome to Nebraska basketball.” I think I was even whistled for a moving screen on my way through the crowds out of the arena.26 points -
how many people 2 months ago thought we'd be playing meningful basketball in the final week of the season? Not I. And the only feeling I have today is gratitude to everyone associated with a beleaguered program that desperately needed something good. We got that. Thanks, hoopsters, for rescuing what was looking like a complete downer of a season. I, for one, am proud of you guys.21 points

Equally annoying to the Creighton alumnus is the nouveau riche Omahan whose intense fandom isn't a result of any real ties to the university, but more a desire to fit in with their neighbor Tad and not upset the weekend golf foursome. The CHI Center is really just a fun bar for their third wives to get drunk together.15 points -

I am going to say the following; but I do not want it to come across as disrespectful or malicious in any manner, so here goes. With Bando and Gary we were a defense oriented team that played at a slower pace. One could have even said we were a poor shooting team. With the injuries, we adjusted our game and have somehow become a faster tempo team that actually has a well rounded offense that can score in the paint and on the perimeter. All while maintaining the strong team culture, pesky defense and comraderie. Great leadership and coaching adjustments! But still, how does that happen 2/5ths the way through a season with a staff supposedly on the hot seat. Wow15 points -

Sometimes you have to give the other team credit. They played one of the best halves of basketball I have ever seen. We weren’t at our best but they had a lot to do with it. Feel bad for the team.14 points

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m gonna miss Griesel so much. We gave up 20 some offensive boards today but play after play and game after game this year he’s busted his ass for us on the defensive glass. So happy he decided to come back home for his final year. He’s a shining example of what this programs foundation should be built on.13 points -
Well whatever else you might say - Fred Hoiberg has coached teams that have ruined the senior days of Brad Davison and Connor McCaffrey in consecutive years. He deserves a contract extension just for that !13 points

I also saw tired legs last night. Senior night got them through the 1st half with one of the most active and inspired defensive performances I've seen. But then in the second half the juice was gone. Feet weren't as choppy, rotations were late, didn't get loose balls and a lot of rebounds. Think they finally hit an emotional wall from the past month. Hopefully they can regroup and kick Iowa's ass.11 points -

How would we have done without injuries to Bandoumel and Gary?
HuscurAdam and 9 others reacted to HuskerBB for a topic
This is the point I wanted to make in reading this thread. There is no way to know for certain what our record may have been without the injuries. But I think it is clear that Bandoumel and Gary were a huge part of instilling the defensive culture that we still bring to the floor. Had Bandoumel not get hurt we likely would not have seen the emergence of Jamarques Lawrence into a really valuable player - but at the same time I am pretty certain that without Bandoumel on the team Jamarques would not be the player he has become. Even though we have done well without them on the floor I don't think that diminishes the huge positive impact that Bandoumel and Gary had on this team.10 points -
Here's an important factor noted in today's Omaha World-Herald: "Iowa used future NBA lottery pick Kris Murray to follow Keisei Tominaga everywhere." Think about that, too: Tominaga is everywhere on offense (running hard and cutting hard . . . all the time), and Iowa's best player is following and guarding him everywhere . . . all the time . . . then trying to be a force on offense too. During the last stages of yesterday's game, that NBA lottery pick is worn down and lacks his normal punch on offense. Keisei Tominaga may have served one of his most-important roles as a Husker, yesterday, while scoring his fewest points in a very long time.10 points

NORTHERN IOWA GAME DAY THREAD
Montana_85 F and 7 others reacted to HUD for a topic
I was at the game and it was great. One interesting lineup that we had towards the end of the first qtr was Maggie,Issie,Sam, Kendall M. and Jaz. They played together for about 5 minutes and went on an 8-0 run. Then Sam got hurt. Looked to me on replay it was either a high ankle sprain or possibly an achilles injury. The rest of the team really stepped up. These are good minutes for the younger girls as we advance and continue to practice. Looks like Kendall M. will be starting going forward. Great opportunity for her. Teams keep getting tougher. The most reliable player on our team right now is Issie. She is playing by far her best basketball this season.8 points -

Ron Mexico and 7 others reacted to busticket for a topic
Not sure why so many people are opposed to one of the pay tournaments. I liken it to football teams getting an extra month of practice when they make a bowl. Great time to develop young players. I personally think Breidenbach needs all the minutes of game action he can get to continue developing. Dana Altmans first year at Oregon they played McDermotts first Creighton team in the title game. Both coaches were building their programs. And used those extra games as a springboard. Seemed to work pretty well for those 2 programs.8 points -

Andre Smith RIP
HuskerCager and 7 others reacted to HuskerBB for a topic
Just saw this. Really sad to hear as Andre was truly a Husker basketball legend. Loved watching him play - he was one who really enjoyed the game. One of my clear Andre Smith memories is of him sitting on the bench after we had clinched a win and just having fun watching the scrubs finish the game. Have to also say he was also a master of "dirty play" - he would often give someone a little shove or elbow when the ref wasn't looking and then when the other guy retaliated and got called for fouling Andre he would just give the opponent a knowing smile and go the the free throw line. A couple of Andre's teammates - Jerry Shoecraft and Eric Williams have lived in Lincoln a long time. I bet they have some great Andre Smith stories. Wish they would jump on here and share. Just looked at that 1980-81 roster - Andre's senior year and my freshman year at NU. That team had alot of my husker favorites. Andre and Mike Naderer as seniors. Jack Moore, Jerry Shoecraft and Ray Collins and Juniors - and two of my all-time Husker favorites - Greg Downing and Claude Renfro were sophomores on that team. Great memories !8 points -
Could Sam Griesel have played on a decent team in the Big Ten?
Swan88 and 7 others reacted to Norm Peterson for a topic
Sam, thank you from the bottom of my heart for not only allowing us to have an answer to this question but also for the resounding "Yes!" of an answer. You CLEARLY would not simply PLAY on a decent Big Ten team, you would START for a decent Big Ten team. It's been a pleasure watching you lead this program this season. Happy Senior Night. You will be missed.8 points -
Regardless of the W/L record, try to enjoy watching Derrick Walker this year
busticket and 7 others reacted to Norm Peterson for a topic
Derrick, you put on a special show for us fans this year. I predict it'll be awhile before we see the likes of someone like you again. A big man who can bring the ball up the floor, initiate the offense, hit cutters with regularity, occasionally lead the team in assists, and yet do all the usual big man stuff like rebound, defend the paint, and score inside. It's been a real treat watching you develop. And this was a special year for you. Congratulations on your senior night, though I know you've already graduated (I watched you walk across the stage.) You'll be missed.8 points -

I think what's really important is that not only are teams putting their better/best defenders on Keisei, but they are putting length on him (Battle, McConnell, Murray off the top of my head). Allows for other guys like Griesel to get more favorable matchups from smaller defenders7 points -
