Hello Friends
OurDecay and 23 others reacted to Jacob Bigelow for a topic
What’s going on everybody. Figured I’d fire up an account on the board to be amongst the basketball folks in the dog days of summer. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m entering my third full season covering Nebraska Basketball for Huskers Illustrated magazine. I also host a basketball podcast, The Stretch Big with Jacob Bigelow. You may have also heard me randomly popping in on 1620 over the last year or so on either the morning or midday shows. In my college years I was a student manager for the basketball program at Nebraska under Coach Miles. Planning to be around this summer and fall leading into the new season. If anybody’s got some off-season questions, would be happy to answer them to the best of my ability. Happy to be here.24 points -

2024 Pre-Season
cornfed24-7 and 10 others reacted to Faux Mike Peltz for a topic
Early notes: Rollie has established himself, along with Juwan, as a vocal leader. That isnt surprising. Showed better than average ability to defend on the perimeter. Taller than expected. Appears 6’5” Not much difference between Rollie and Brice height wise. Meah is head and shoulders taller than anybody else. Dunking any and everything around the rim. Fluid for his size. Morgan may be the sleeper of the offseason. Showing some nice post moves, pretty mobile as well. If Nick Janowski doesn’t see the court, wow. Absolute beast mentality. Relentless. High energy. Elite shooting ability. Connor is an elite shooter. Gavin can be special, shows flashes at times but also still needs some seasoning. People probably have overlooked the role of Cale. Brings experience and could be called on for his versatility and defensive fouls. Heady player. That is all for now. Everyone have a great 4th of July!!!11 points -

Berke went for 11-10 in a 2 pt loss to Belgium. A pass to Berke to try and get a final shot got deflected. Berke looked to be running the offense on the court in terms of telling guys where to move. He was very verbal during and between plays. Looks like we got a good one here.7 points -

Super happy for him man. This is the shot he wanted. This is basically a training camp deal to see if he can get a two way deal or g league deal. About what I expected.7 points -

Her Nike EYBL team, MW Premier, lost in the championship of the Nike Nationals yesterday to Cy Fair (TX) who has the top recruit Aaliyah Chavez (who had 30 points). Olivia had 15 points in the championship game and averaged 16 ppg in the tournament. She was third in the tournament in steals with 3 a game. Jacob Padilla had some comments on Twitter after watching the game.6 points -
In case you missed it, here is Jack McVeigh finding out he made the Australian team6 points

Just watched her video. She is FAST !!!! I mean REALLY FAST !!! And shifty. I know it's just HS ball and the level of competition is unknown, but her ability to dribble to the basket while making that super slick 30 to 45 degree cut in direction is super impressive! It's the kind of speed and cut that leaves a defender wondering "where'd she go?" Seems adept at the pull up three. She and Prince could be a dual threat back court. Good get!6 points

Have not been able to see any practices or workouts. Covering hoops is my side job so I haven’t been able to make it to any of the summer media availabilities either unfortunately. Right now I’m buying any and all Nick Janowski stock that I can buy. On paper, I’m far more intrigued by this team on paper than I was by this past season’s group before the year. All the vibes have been good, but it’s also July.4 points -

REDZONEDAN and 3 others reacted to HuskerFever for a topic
Not that you have influence over any of this, but the basketball merchandise the university offers is sparse and just bad. It's really sad considering our ticket sales are in the Top 25 basically every year since the PBA opened up. If we take our coaches seriously, the coverage of the sport seriously, then why do they act like we're a Division 2 basketball school when it comes to merchandise?4 points -

I think you're forgetting the part about where this is Nebraska and these are the Huskers coming off a 23 win season, third place B1G finish and an 8 seed in the dance. There will be plenty of hype and fans coming out to watch the boys.4 points -

I'm fine with the schedule. Our non con SOS was 322 last year. This year it will probably be in low-mid 200's. If you really want to get fired up, go to the Saint Mary's game in Sioux Falls. The atmosphere should be electric.3 points -
