I'll take it a step further and say I just expect that any individual player is gone in any sport. And be pleasantly surprised if they stay.

Damn. It's like two different players. Ok I see why people are holding out hope. I do not share in that hope, but I am no longer perplexed as to why other do. I do hope you all are right and I am wrong though

Yeah, but a funk is a funk. When I've seen GG play it looks like the 1st time he picked up a basketball was in warm ups that day. Now I know the sample size is small I've only seen him in a few games. And know the a bunch of posters that see promise in him know WAY more about basketball than me. But I am absolutely perplexed by the thought he is going to turn into a player that plays any meaningful minutes in any season. Again, only seen him live in a few games. And I am nothing more than a casual basketball fan. But the games I've seen him in he has been an absolute train wreck. And looks nothing close to a player that can compete consistently at this level. Absolutely perplexed I say.

Hahaha perhaps. And I didn't even get to watch the game to see him shut me up.

It's easy. If we do well in conference play the Big Ten is down and we have to win the conference tournament to dance. If do poorly in conference play the Big Ten is not down and we have to win the conference tournament to dance.

Those numbers from Brice are pathetic. I don't know if the coaching staff changed how they want Brice to play or not so I'll try not to completely throw him under the bus. But pathetic. Hot take - if Brice doesn't pump those numbers up to closer to last year from here on out. Zero chance this team dances.

To piggy back - with how wildly inconsistent this team has been for anyone chalking up 3 wins in such a short amount of time is crazy. Especially after seeing the last games debacle.

This looks like more than a confidence issue. Poor kid looks like he got zapped by the Monsters from Space Jam and the only way he gets his basketball skills back is if Jordan comes out of retirement and beats the Monstars with a bunch of Looney Tunes.

This times a thousand. Doesn't seem to have a whole lotta want to if he's not scoring.

My wife checks the score on her phone before she even attempts to talk to me

Oooof that was baaaaaaad. Gonna have to rethink my rethink about this team. They quit today. That's not a good sign. Essegian is gonna end up being pretty good. I like him alot. He's nowhere close to what Tominaga gave us...yet. Silver lining - this happens at least once a season with a Hoibergs team. I think the best possible scenario is it happened game one in conference play, on the road, and against MSU. Team needs to delete this from the memory bank, regroup, and move on.

I sure hope a 37 pt loss in conference is rock bottom

Or Monday because the general sucks anyway. Let's just mitigate the suck.

What bullshit.

If he keeps playing like he has how do you keep him out of the starting lineup?!?

I like it, but it needs more. Yan "The Haus" Hauser!

I don't know, but I like it

Yeah. Also there was a set inbounds play where he curled, caught the pass, and drained a 3 from the corner. Boy was it SMOOOOOOTH. And a damned difficult shot to boot.

In theory yes. I'm waiting to see practical application. Until then Essegian has promise and a couple of good games in a Husker uniform.

True. However, what I want to see is Essegian do it when the defensive game plan is to shut him down at all costs and the space he has to shoot is significant less.

Yeah I was too lazy to go and look it up. The 20pts was from 2 years ago when all the injuries hit and Legend of Keisei Tominaga began

I don't disagree with you. I think it's entirely possible. I'm just in more of a wait and see mode. But he looks likes it's a real possibility.
