Too soon. Someone shoot down this comment…

This thread might only be slightly off topic this fall. The Husker soccer ladies are pretty good this year it looks like! The flip on the throw in and the bicycle kick for the goal is like something out of a movie! https://x.com/huskersoccer/status/1694862880137507216?s=46&t=lCrffIZOq4y2gKLzLc9mLQ

Depends on the team/country honestly. You kind of get a mixed bag on most teams. Maybe 1-2 guys in the NBA OR that had a short stint in the NBA. A few others that maybe played or are playing college ball in the states. of course teams like the US, France, etc will have more of the NBA and College ball guys than other teams.

Keisei hit one from the states today!

I took my daughter to her first Husker basketball game at PBA where she caught a Cam Mack launched arrow in the 300 section! Lol— really though, it was her first Husker sporting event period. Loves the cheerleaders, loves Little Red, and loves the concessions.

What time is the game today? ESPN 3?

Thorrrrr! I miss that dude.

All this without their top 3 players (D1 recruits) I think I read. Impressive run! #BeatTexas

Did he just have the 1 prep game for this?

Im guessing everyone will still get that pipe dream chance of making the dance as a terrible team. Two options would be two sets of brackets and a winner take all game at the end like baseball OR Play in games between the bottom X teams to see who makes the B1G tournament crazy to type out.

That stress of having to choose whether to push the laugh reaction or sad reaction with this.

I was more referencing a B1G Basketball Championship tournament. No way, I don’t think, you could do a 20+ team straight bracket.

In all seriousness, I wonder if we see two brackets the larger this gets. Winners of each bracket play in the B1G championship game.

Overall thoughts after this game. 1. Appears to have good offensive spacing. Didn’t get to see him shoot it much, but he was in the right spots for a kick out. 2. Going to have to improve on the D End against quicker players. Did ok, but did get beat and got caught watching a time or two. 3. TO’s were worrisome not because they were TO, but because they were bad TO’s. Dribble off leg in post, lazy pass that got him yanked, etc. 4. Appears his motor keeps going and going which may be needed based on depth alone. 5. Overall for me it was a net meh game as Papa said above. Did some good things… did some bad things. Didn’t stand out. Did have good body language after being yanked though which is a positive sign.

From the sounds of it… Notre Dame doesn’t want to go anywhere… but will their hand be forced?

Not to make this a soccer thread… but it appears we will end in a tie.

Unofficial after 4Q 4 points, 6 boards, 2 assist, 4 TO, 1 steal - Didn’t start 4th Qtr -Came in about 5:50 left - Missed his only 3 I saw - Has decent spacing on O. In the right spots and finds gaps on perimeter. - Another bad TO on a drive at a bad time. - Appears to have gotten a steal by luck. - Assisted in go ahead basket with 30 ticks left. - Got an O rebound and missed put back to win it at buzzer. Game going to OT

End of 3rd 4 points, 4 boards, 1 assist, 3 TOs Started 3rd, had a bad TO, got a rebound that the guy missed on the breakaway and he was pulled at dead ball.

Not fully focused, but I have him down at 4 points, 3 boards, 1 assist, 2 TO at half. Nice left handed basket after catching at high post FT line. Post D was OK.. got beat once but his guy missed and then actually had help D on the other time I saw. Rough 2 min stretch toward end of 2nd where he turned it over twice after getting ball in deep post.

Played nearly the entire first quarter. So appears to have good stamina. 2 pts, 2 boards, 1 assist. Allowed an offensive put back on the D end. Good body control on his basket inside. doesn’t appear to favor either playing inside or outside. Will play wherever.

Appears to move OK off the ball on the O end. Has gotten lost a couple of times on the D end, but that hasn’t affected team in negative way yet.

A few that I have a little bit of a different perspective on. Brice and CJ-- I'd have them about what I expected of them on this trip. With everyone out, someone was going to have to score the ball and those two are doing what I would expect of them in the scoring column. To me, they would be more "even" than trending upward, though not anywhere near a downward trend... if that makes sense. Overall though, this list is about where I'm at including with Eli Rice.

my biggest positive for Cale is the “making big plays down the stretch” bit. In games like this, scoring during the game could mean something, it could not. But no matter if it’s regular season or summer pick up ball, everyone knows you give that little bit extra in a close game that’s in its stretch run.
