Our team defense is a strength, our individual defense can at times be a liability. I think we win with Berke and a healthy team as well. Defense is about taking up space and offense is about creating space. With Berke on the perimeter, layups for Gary and others become easier as the help defense isn't there to volleyball spike it like they did last night. I am worried about how quickly we can get healthy as the tougher of the two road games is first and its up quick.

I think Meah would be a great pick up. Something we have not had in a while. Interesting where this site has him ranked: Braxton Meah - NBA Draft Room Scroll down on the right. A rim protector that plays above the rim. They don't grow on trees. Average 8-10 points with 8-10 rebounds, 1-2 blocks and several altered shots. Maybe even defend without requiring a post double all of the time. Let's get him!

I tweeted with Shelby Mast who is the BracketWag guy to make this happen. Totally taking credit for it. I mean Derrick, the Sam's and Keisei get some credit too. It's a more accurate description of our current state!

I think Keisei showed you play and you score when you move with purpose and cut. The ball movement and cutting improved as the game went on. Some was Boston College tiring, but I hope some of it was because they saw it led to buckets. Also helps when our shooting spreads out the defense. Wilcher and Keisei both hitting makes us pretty darn tough.

I think the NIL rules could be what gets us to our goals in basketball. Firstly, I will say that I like the players are finally getting a portion of what they generate but I also think this has the potential to be a total mess. It will make some weird incentives and no organization is strong enough to regulate how it works. I like though that some of the big dawgs are complaining about it. That being said, Nebraska it seems is going to figure this out and figure it out well. We will figure out the way to spend the $ needed because the potential return is so much better for us than say a Colorado or Kansas State or Northwestern for example with our fanbase. A rocking sold out Pinnacle Bank and all the financial benefits that come with that is worth it for the investment. Either that or we will put all our energy into the football program and let basketball stay mediocre.

I empathize a lot with Verge. It's hard to pull up or pass when you know you can get around whomever is guarding you. I used to be this way in intramurals.

NU 83 Western Ill 57 10 19

I never thought about having a second favorite team. You can do that? I thought I just had to get groin kicked by my one favorite team for the rest of my life.

Um. Win tonight and we are tied with North Carolina. A blue blood!

If it's a 13 bid league we will have a chance.

That's a unique stat. In other unique stats we shot a higher percentage from 3 than the foul line for the second straight game.

Guess I will play until I forget NU 86 Riverside 67 9 Non Con 15 Total

I was told by someone who sees a lot of practice that he was very difficult to guard.

Fixed that for you.
