  1. Updated through 12 games (non-conference portion of schedule): 1. Terran Petteway, Jr. 2014-2015 (thru 12G): 34.7 MPG, 19.2 PPG, 41.8 FG%, 32.5 3FG%, 2.7 APG, 5.6 RPG, 1.2 BPG, 1.4 SPG, 3.9 TOPG 2014-2015 (thru 6G): 34.7 MPG, 21.0 PPG, 41.7 FG%, 34.9 3FG%, 2.5 APG, 5.5 RPG, 1.3 BPG, 1.3 SPG, 4.2 TOPG 2013-2014: 31.7 MPG, 18.1 PPG, 42.6 FG%, 32.7 3FG%, 1.6 APG, 4.8 RPG, 0.8 BPG, 0.9 SPG, 2.8 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/terran-petteway Notes: Not much changed from our first check-in. Remarkably consistent numbers across the board. He is who he is over the last year and a half. 2. Shavon Shields, Jr. 2014-2015 (thru 12G): 36.5 MPG, 17.2 PPG, 48.9 FG%, 27.6 3FG%, 2.0 APG, 6.9 RPG, 0.2 BPG, 0.8 SPG, 3.3 TOPG 2014-2015 (thru 6G): 34.7 MPG, 20.0 PPG, 60.6 FG%, 43.8 3FG%, 1.8 APG, 7.3 RPG, 0.3 BPG, 0.8 SPG, 2.5 TOPG 2013-2014: 32.5 MPG, 12.8 PPG, 44.3 FG%, 31.6 3FG%, 1.6 APG, 5.8 RPG, 0.3 BPG, 0.9 SPG, 1.6 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/shavon-shields Notes: His shooting percentage has fallen back to earth, and he is no longer a reliable 3-point shooter. The rebounding is good, but his turnovers are now more than double what they were a year ago. 3. Benny Parker, Jr. 2014-2015 (thru 12G): 30.5 MPG, 6.8 PPG, 43.6 FG%, 47.1 3FG%, 2.2 APG, 2.2 RPG, 0.0 BPG, 1.9 SPG, 1.8 TOPG 2014-2015 (thru 6G): 28.5 MPG, 6.7 PPG, 35.7 FG%, 28.6 3FG%, 2.3 APG, 1.8 RPG, 0.0 BPG, 2.0 SPG, 1.7 TOPG 2013-2014: 14.9 MPG, 2.4 PPG, 47.8 FG%, 0.0 3FG%, 0.9 APG, 1.0 RPG, 0.0 BPG, 0.9 SPG, 0.4 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/benny-parker Notes: He continues to look for his spots to score, and he is playing heavy minutes. He is a point guard playing 30 minutes a game and averaging less than 2 turnovers a contest...and he gets that back for you with steals. He appears to be a pretty efficient player offensively. The question remains if he is a legitimate Big Ten caliber starting PG. I still think he is better as a change of pace guy off the bench. This is a guy who played 15 minutes a game a year ago. 4. Walter Pitchford, Jr. 2014-2015 (thru 12G): 27.8 MPG, 7.4 PPG, 34.1 FG%, 31.0 3FG%, 0.4 APG, 4.7 RPG, 0.8 BPG, 0.4 SPG, 1.6 TOPG 2014-2015 (thru 6G): 22.2 MPG, 6.5 PPG, 33.3 FG%, 31.0 3FG%, 0.8 APG, 2.8 RPG, 0.8 BPG, 0.7 SPG, 1.7 TOPG 2013-2014: 23.2 MPG, 9.2 PPG, 47.3 FG%, 41.0 3FG%, 0.5 APG, 4.7 RPG, 0.6 BPG, 0.4 SPG, 0.5 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/walter-pitchford-v Notes: He has essentially continued his cold start to the season, with the exception of adding a couple rebounds per game. Playing the last few games without other inside players, you'd like to see him be averaging more than 5 boards a game. He has attempted 58 3-pointers in 12 games....that's nearly 5 attempts a game. If he's going to do that, he needs to be better than 31%. 5. David Rivers, Sr. 2014-2015 (thru 12G): 29.8 MPG, 5.4 PPG, 48.0 FG%, 0.0 3FG%, 0.8 APG, 6.0 RPG, 0.3 BPG, 0.6 SPG, 0.7 TOPG 2014-2015 (thru 6G): 26.7 MPG, 6.2 PPG, 60.9 FG%, 0.0 3FG%, 0.7 APG, 4.7 RPG, 0.2 BPG, 0.3 SPG, 0.5 TOPG 2013-2014: 20.0 MPG, 3.0 PPG, 47.4 FG%, 33.3 3FG%, 0.4 APG, 2.9 RPG, 0.5 BPG, 1.0 SPG, 0.5 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/david-rivers Notes: He has increased his rebounding further, and is given us essentially 6 & 6 a night. I noted this last time, but I love the fact that he's playing nearly 30 minutes a game and has only gotten more than 3 PFs once...and that game went to OT. He is working, rebounding and playing good defense without fouling. Given our depth situation, that's huge. I think what we are getting from him is about his ceiling...but that's good enough for what we are asking IMO. 6. Tai Webster, So. 2014-2015 (thru 12G): 19.8 MPG, 4.9 PPG, 35.7 FG%, 16.7 3FG%, 1.2 APG, 2.2 RPG, 0.2 BPG, 0.8 SPG, 1.9 TOPG 2014-2015 (thru 6G): 22.5 MPG, 6.8 PPG, 41.7 FG%, 15.8 3FG%, 2.0 APG, 2.0 RPG, 0.3 BPG, 1.2 SPG, 2.3 TOPG 2013-2014: 22.8 MPG, 3.9 PPG, 30.4 FG%, 17.1 3FG%, 2.0 APG, 2.1 RPG, 0.1 BPG, 0.8 SPG, 1.8 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/tai-webster Notes: As I said before...Tai is just not a good shooter. You'd hope that we could plan around that, but at some point you have to accept the situation: this is a guard that cannot shoot, does not rebound, and is careless with the ball. In our three games in Hawaii, he played 16, 7 and 16 minutes respectively, and went a combined 0-5 from the field, never attempted a FT, had 4 TOs and 2 assists. Apparent physical tools aside, the writing appears on the wall here. 7. Moses Abraham, Sr. 2014-2015 (thru 6G): 15.2 MPG, 2.7 PPG, 58.3 FG%, 0.0 3FG%, 0.2 APG, 5.5 RPG, 1.0 BPG, 0.0 SPG, 1.2 TOPG 2013-2014: 13.1 MPG, 1.9 PPG, 56.4 FG%, 0.0 3FG%, 0.3 APG, 2.8 RPG, 0.7 BPG, 0.2 SPG, 0.5 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/moses-abraham http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/georgetown/moses-ayegba Notes: He got hurt after our 7th game...his numbers didn't change much at all. I believe he was destined to start Game #8 before breaking his hand...so we'll wait to see what that looks like when he returns. 8. Tarin Smith, Fr. 2014-2015 (thru 12G): 15.2 MPG, 3.9 PPG, 45.7 FG%, 33.3 3FG%, 0.8 APG, 1.0 RPG, 0.2 BPG, 0.5 SPG, 0.7 TOPG 2014-2015 (thru 6G): 13.5 MPG, 3.8 PPG, 43.8 FG%, 66.7 3FG%, 1.3 APG, 1.2 RPG, 0.0 BPG, 0.5 SPG, 0.3 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/tarin-smith Notes: In the same 3-game span Tai Webster played a combined 39 minutes, Smith played 66 minutes and averaged 6.0 PPG. He is becoming our primary scorer off the bench (such as it is), and I feel like he is getting better and better. 9. Leslee Smith, Sr. 2014-2015: DNP (INJ) 2013-2014: 16.8 MPG, 5.4 PPG, 51.9 FG%, 0.0 3FG%, 0.4 APG, 4.8 RPG, 0.6 BPG, 0.9 SPG, 1.4 TOPG http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/nebraska/leslee-smith Notes: Still waiting. Come back, Leslee! RDK

  2. Am I seeing this right? Aside from a few neutral site invitationals, Indiana has yet to play a true away game this season? Yup, first true road game for fairly young team. We have a real chance to bushwack them at home.

  5. Had a chance to watch Thurman/UNO recently a couple times - I think he's going to be a very good player for UNO/Summit League. Athletically reminds me of Rivers, but has more range on his jump shot & is better off the dribble already. Similar explosion around the rim, although Thurman had a very impressive dunk in traffic off a drive from the FT line vs UTPA. Rivers can dunk on rebounds, but doesn't show that explosion off the dribble. Thurman does some nice things defensively too, shows a good feel for the game. Not sure he'd be ready to play the 4 defensively at this point in a P5 conference like Rivers is doing though. He should be fine playing the 4 in the Summit, even as a true frosh. Overall he's playing very well, especially considering UNO didn't expect him to have to play as many minutes as he's playing, but injuries have given Thurman a chance & he's taking advantage of it. Moot point as NU wasn't going to wait to see if he would qualify and had other recruiting options, but it would've been interesting to see him at NU & whether he could have developed into a starter at B1G level eventually. I'll be hoping he does well at UNO, always nice to see in-state kids excel at the D-1 level.

  7. So do McVeigh & Agau play 1-on-1 at halftime of NU-IU to see who gets the last scholarship? Anyone know why McVeigh didn't sign anywhere in the early period?

  9. FWIW McVeigh and Pinder are twitter friends Also, fellow Australian Ben Simmons is already part of the LSU class of 2015. If he goes LSU, I'd put it more on the Australian connection than the L$U factor.

  10. I know I posted this this summer but I feel he's more Sam Dekker. Hes also done it against high quality opponents in international play. Now would he live up to that play here, who knows but thats how I see him.

  12. BTW, I thought that '03-'04 Nebrasketball team was a fun one to watch... Charles Richardson, Nate Johnson, Jason Dourisseau, Wes Wilkinson, Brian Conklin, John Turek & Andrew Drevo all played at a fairly high level. Sprinkle in some Marcus Neal Jr & Corey Simms w/ a lil' Bronson Schliep and that was definitely an NCAA-caliber ball team. That's a pretty salty 10-man roster, not a Kentucky platoon but still a very competitive squad against most teams. What would Tim Miles & Co. have been able to get out of those guys w/ #GATA???

  13. I think you HAVE to wear one of those pimp'n hats WHEN we win again vs Hoosiers (goin' for 4th W in 5 games in B1G vs IU).

  14. hopefully he comes here for the Indiana game. If he doesn't visit, i doubt he transfers here. Not sure if he would feel uncomfortable coming back home....that would probably be the biggest hurdle

  16. I don't care what kind of RPI we have... we go 12-6 or 13-5 in the Big 10, we are in for sure. 11-7 may do it as well.

  17. In the "revised" season predictions in the OWH today, NU moved from a 4th-place prediction in November to 8th place today. So I guess the good news is that means we're the "hunters" again. And we didn't fall the farthest - Michigan went from 5th to 10th. Indiana is up from 9th to 4th. http://www.omaha.com/huskers/with-carryover-missing-husker-hoops-sometimes-seem-stuck-between-seasons/article_d2ff8222-bad3-5343-b6db-3342955602f1.html
