    Just hoping Verge buys into the we>me soon.  What changed from the exhibition games?  I hated that 2014/15 offense, the stand around and wait for Pettaway to do something offense.  Hoping not headed down that road again.  All will be forgiven if we get a dub Tuesday.  Let's go! GBR!

    You can see Fred with his hands up trying to get Verge to pull up to no avail.

    Great points here. Surprised one of you sharp people didn’t mention in particular how outwardly angry Fred was on the sideline with Verge in the last 90 seconds. He TWICE didn’t follow the directions of taking the air out of the ball and both times damn near turned it over (Bryce got a dunk on one). Fred threw his Hands up once and the next time threw his hands up and turned around. I’ve never seen him do that. 
     
    Also worth pointing out on Verge that Fred kept him out almost 5 minutes in the second half when things were gelling with him on bench. That’s much longer than game one at any point and much longer last night than either Trey or Bryce sat at once. Verge will be in Fred’s doghouse soon if he doesn’t buy in. 
     
    Finally, as I posted after game one, where’s Andre? I’d like to hear an actual explanation and details of what happened because we surely (as pointed out above) win game one wifh him.

    Got the win. It was slightly better than game 1, but I still fear what will happen on Tuesday night against the team that shall not be named.
     
    I was very critical of Bryce after game 1 so I need to applaud him for game 2. Much better efficiency for the most part - wasn't "hunting shots" nearly as much and let the game present him with the opportunity. He took advantage when it did.
     
    Someone else said it - I think our shooting is off because we aren't getting open looks. Too much standing and watching, which is understandable when Verge has the ball. 2 games in, I am not a fan and he would have spent a considerable amount of time on the bench again if it were me. Yes, he has assists but when you handle the ball as much as he does, a squirrel will find a nut once in a while. His mentality is shoot first, shoot second, pass third. I really want to see someone else run the point (Trey, Kobe) and let Verge come off the bench.
     
    Andre was the reason we won - energy, defense, rebounding - he brought it all and led to the run to put that game away. 
     
    Huge improvement from Wilhelm too - did a lot of things that won't show up on the stat sheet to help the team. However, stop whining to the officials when you get called for a foul. Officiating is awful, we all know it and you should too. Just stop complaining.

    Andre came in and changed the game. His points were nice, but we all realize he won’t score that much most nights. But he altered so many shots in his limited minutes. 
     
    I know he is raw and I am sure he does things that frustrate Fred, but he has to be a part of the rotation. I know people love Walker, and he is a good leader and plays hard. But he is a very below average center in the B1G. He is a 6’8” center who can’t shoot, can’t dribble and isn’t particularly skilled at anything. Has decent hands, but that’s not enough at this level. He definitely is not a rim protector. 

    With that said, Ed has to do his part to help Fred have more confidence in him. Whatever he is or isn’t doing in practice needs to get sorted out so he can get more PT going forward. 
     
    Disappointing thing is that if Andre played in the first game NU most likely wins. What was Fred thinking (or not thinking)?

    If you search that sentence you’ll find it on this board 150 times, followed by a game thread where we got 30 burgered.

    Verge can be the key that unlocks this thing, and looked it in the Colorado exhibition. We've seen flashes of it. If it clicks it can be/will be beautiful. We don't have time to wait for it to happen, it's now gotta happen in the next couple games. I'm still praying a switch gets flipped and we never look back.

    I mean we won, so great. And we met adversity and responded versus going, “oh no, here we go…”
     
    But that was unwatchable. I don’t like anything we’re seeing offensively. If we play offense this way Creighton’s going to run us out of the building. We refuse to execute, cut hard, be unselfish. Slight better in the second half, but not much…
     
    Defense just has no edge unless they get chewed out or start feeling like they have to play hard. Some Johnny try hard stuff while on the ball… but off the ball - YIKES. They rotate ok at times… but meh. 
     
    Rebounding effort was much better tonight. Ed helped that out quite a bit. Well, Ed helped out everywhere quite a bit because he came in a played hard, and ran the offense. 

    Verge was not enjoyable to watch at times tonight. Well, most of the time. He finally chilled the F out in the second half and tried to move the ball around more distribute. 
     
    We all got a taste of why Bryce is not going to be playing for us next year, but for game checks. However, he’s got a lot to learn about playing basketball without the ball. Also looked like a JV kid when the blitzed ball screens on him a couple times. He’s only 19 so I’m not too worried. 
     
    Really disappointed in the effort and how we’ve played to start the season. In Hoiberg We Trust. But man would I give quite a bit to just see a gelled, all on the same page team.

    It felt like we won in spite of Verge. Anytime we started to get a rhythm going offensively he would put a damper on it with a step back three or an air-balled floater. This team obviously does have potential if we just keep the ball moving and generate good looks.

    Verge just doesn't even look to find shooters on the 3PT line. It's so frustrating to watch.

    Looked like Trey had some choice words for Verge during the timeout

    I think Andre should be starting even just for what he brings protecting the rim and rebounding. I've been so impressed with him.

    Absolutely. Let’s just hope we aren’t 2/3 thru the season before Hoiberg does something about it.

    The me that was at the Colorado game was excited about the Creighton game.  The me that is here at PBA tonight hopes we can keep it within 40. I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of Husker fans selling tix to Creighton fans.

    With all of the talent that has been added to this roster, I can't believe how bad this team has been so far this season. I'm honestly stunned by it. And, so far, now that the regular season games have started, Verge has decided he doesn't want to be a PG, so none of the shooters can get into a rhythm.
