  1. Seeing some posts and tweets kind of reminds me of our offense just a complete 180. When our offense is on, the posters/tweeters are off. When our offense is off, the posters/tweeters are on.

  3. 1st Half: That was as good of a start as I can remember NU getting off to in a very long time. They started the game shooting 72%, you knew that wasn't gonna keep up. Foul trouble to Jordy and Duby was problematic. At least one of Duby's was dubious. Roby's injury is worrisome. If he's out for awhile, that makes the front court pretty thin. He appears to have a bit of a catalytic effect on the team as well. Roby being out for a while would be a big blow. The biggest issue of the season for me is still how they're gonna manage when Glynn's off the court. He's not just the straw that stirs the drink, he's the drink a lot of times. too. If Gill is finding his sea legs, that's a huge piece of the Nebrasketball puzzle this season. He and Copeland have really come on as of late. The last two games, NU's played with a lot better energy. They have to play with that and more when the schedule ramps up over the next couple of weeks. The fast start came on the heals of good to great defense. When that disappeared, the offense struggled, big time. A lot of that happened with Roby, Jordy and Duby unavailable and Watson on the bench. 2nd Half: Out of the break, they found the energy again and found the offensive rhythm again. Our big men have to figure out how to turn post feeds into layups or dunks when they get clear looks at the rim. They expose the ball to smaller defenders way too much. I take that back, NU's front court play is the biggest cause for concern right now. Timely bucket from Allen who I think sat and watched the first 35 minutes of the game before getting subbed in unless I missed it. I assume he's progressing from his fall last week? We can't seem to do anything easy. The goal was two wins this weekend. They got it. Big game on Wednesday that's just as much of a must win as this was. I may have more thoughts, but I gotta run for now.

  4. I hope that they don't bring him back until he is healthy. The season is not a sprint, we need him throughout the season. I know we are in the midst of a tough stretch, but Isaiah is an important player for us. We need to be better safe than sorry.

  5. Bad combination of an injury and foul trouble left us with no idea how to defend the paint in both halves. Need to figure that out, especially if Roby is out for longer than a couple of weeks.

  7. Glad we got the "W", but it's apparent moving forward that Duby and Jordy will be our achilles heel. If they aren't going to score they at LEAST need to rebound and stay on the floor.

  16. Didn't get to watch this one. Looking at box scores, score logs, and reading posts for this take. Losing Roby for a week or two hurts. Losing Roby for longer hurts a lot more. Be thankful that he might just be out a game. Gill is going to be our glue scorer off the bench. Shooting looks as though it is starting to come around for some of our guys. Copeland, Gill, Allen are should only get better. That is a good thing. Palmer is going to give us 10+ PPG a night. Same with Glynn. Other guys will fill it up some nights and be quiet others. Happy to go 2-1 in Orlando. We needed that one. A win is a win. 2-1 is a lot better than 1-2. 5-2 is a lot better than 2-5. If 5-2 means we are in for a long year, than I will take a long year every 7 games we play. Sure we have 2 losses. Both against so-so competition. We haven't had a great team to play at home yet. I expect the atmosphere to be a little better for BC, and then a lot better for Minny/KU. I think how we fare in those three games will tell us a lot. Protect the home court, that was one of the goals. If you would have told me we would be 5-2 with a loss at St. Johns and 1 loss in Orlando, I would have taken that in a heart beat. I don't care how we got there, a win is still a win. You probably don't hear Minny complaining that they beat a team playing with 3 players. To them, that will be a win later on and that is all that matters. Now the fun begins. 1 win is a must in the next five. 2-3 would be great! 4-5 would be fantastic.

  17. From an offensive side of things. I feel good that at least 3 players will get into double figures, it may not be the same 3 but, usually it's 3. I also liked how at the start of both halves we got out an ran a little off of turnovers. Hopefully that can continue. I really like having Anton come in off the bench and get some timely 3's. That was nice. Once Isaiah went out and Duby and Jordy got into foul trouble I felt like our rotation got off track a bit and that lead to some bad matchups and them getting back into it. I'm waiting for Jordy to start playing again like he did down the stretch, I have a feeling some of it is mental and him still not having a wealth of skills down low. 2-1 out of this tournament is good. Nice to see some shots falling today.

  18. The AD fired the head coach but wants to retain both offensive and defensive coordinators. To me, that limits the head coaches who will want that job.

  19. This was a game of streaks. Thankfully, we prevailed. Long Beach has a decent team. They have a few talented players and works hard on both ends of the floor. Our offensive display during the first fifteen minutes of the first half, and the first seven or eight minutes of the second half were things of beauty. If we can maintain that level of offensive proficiency, life will be good. Defense was hurt for multiple reasons, but the absence of either Isaiah, Jordy or Duby on the floor proves problematic: - Glynn played a tremendous game. He is fun to watch, especially when his shots are falling. But his pesky defense played a significant role at the onset of the game. - Anton played well. Not only offensively, but defensively as well. It is nice having someone who can knock down his three's. - James had a rather pedestrian game. He made some glaring mistakes but then had some significant plays. Need to find a bit of consistency. - Thomas played some minutes and had a ballsie move in crunch time. Good to see him coming around. He is still a liability on the defensive end. - Evan was Evan. He played significant minutes, distributed the ball and played good defense. - Jack was pretty much a no show. Made one nice move to the basket, otherwise meh. - Isaiah was playing well UNTIL his injury. Hopefully it will heal quickly, but I doubt we see him against BC. - I thought Isaac played well. He was fairly quiet on offense, but played good on ball defense. - Tanner did some good things, but if he plays more than two to three minute spurts we will be in a bit of trouble. - Duby most have had a hangover or something. I haven't seen the stats but I believe he had four fouls in five minutes. THAT CAN'T HAPPEN - Jordy is starting to concern me. He needs to get his poop in a group. He is a necessary presence for us, proven by what happened against us in the paint today. We need 6 to 10 points, 25 hard minutes, 5 to 8 rebounds and interior defense from him. Those are must haves. We need to improve interior defense and rebounding. Nice win! We needed to come back from this tournament at least 2-1 and did. Now we need to continue to improve. But man, we played a few spurts of basketball that was amazing. Grade B-

  26. Yussuf is also initiating the contact when he makes a move to the hoop. Slammed into Jordy twice before pushing him to get the rebound.

  31. Good start to the second half. We continue to experiment with line ups and some of the experiments are problematic. Tanner earned time, but it should not be more than two minute bursts.

  36. Jack gives up threes because he doesn’t want to get beat on the drive. Half the time on the floor is spent playing defense. The other half is where he could earn some minutes but he hasn’t been very good at that end either so far, so he’s been watching a lot of the games from the best seats in the house.

  39. Might be the jaysker factor there, Norm. "Kenneth" gives that away. I'll concede there isn't as much venom directed at Mike Riley today as there was at Doc but I did see someone comment that they think Riley should be ashamed and promise to give back all the money he "stole" from the University. There are some pretty ignorant people out there saying some pretty ignorant things.

    This is why I'm in favor of majority zone for this team. We don't have a ton of lateral quickness, but we have good straight line speed and we're lanky and skilled. Zone gives us the chance to run more and get to our spots. I just don't think there are a ton of teams that can pick apart a zone in 2017. The game is so pick and roll/iso dominated now that zone seems to force midrange jumpers, which is now the most uncomfortable shot in basketball.

  42. Marist shot 55% (48% 3PT) against West Virginia. They shot 38% (38% 3PT) tonight. That can be a huge difference between winning and losing.

  43. Will Miles get an apology and thank you letter from Chubick for basically telling him and Arop the truth and giving him the best advice possible? No he will not. Same with all of the OWH people that lambasted him for pushing him to the best option.
