And play some defense when he isn’t asked to shoulder the load on offense

We gotta get some kinda bench rotation figured out here. Some of palmers struggles are results of bein tired especially on the defensive end. If nothing else Amir and nana should be able to help us on the boards for the 15-20 mins a night they should be playing. Our bigs are what they are not much more to be said about that, we just gotta make shots to offset the rebounding woes. That’s the best game I’ve seen roby play. He was constantly the aggressor on both ends.

Question: would you consider a top 5 JUCO to be the equivalent of a 5 star high school kid?

I’m w you, hard pass on Dana. We run a clean program and he does not. Turgeon would intrigue me but Maryland would be pretty dumb to let him go

He’s got twice as many wins as losses while he’s been there and he’s had slot of guys leave early to go pro

maryland looks like a top 5 team in the big ten to me after the win tonight. Big guys get you wins on the road and jalen Smith is improving rapidly. Impressive coaching to do the obvious thing and go zone when Coffey started to kill em to. Not sure why terp fans dislike him so much

I think paying for college till your 50 is only an honor to those who grew up in Nebraska football crazy family’s. A lot of those guys would be better off(as far as life goes) going north to USD SDSU or if they are real good go play for the bison. You get the same education for a cheaper price and you actually get to play

Depends if he had made any strides but yeah a big is likely the difference between 3-1 and 1-3 right now

Twitters real nice for following guys like robin washut and Jacob Padilla who have inside info on the program and recruits. It however is real shitty for getting people’s uniformed opinions of the basketball program. The season might go up in flames but it ain’t there yet contrary to what twitter will tell you.

Don’t think so, believe he broke his wrist last year and had to sit out the whole year. Really hurt his ability to get his name out there. He committed to liberty before the season if I remember correctly

Make that a double.

Ya I don’t think he could guard opposite fives for 20 minutes, just on switches and things of that nature. I expect him to mainly Baird 3s n 4s. I’ll be interesting to see what we do with the remaining scholarships. I for one am tired of playing small ball and having opposite 5s Maul us

He’s gone after the season if not before. They probably won’t sniff 15 wins

Yup gonna be able to guard 2-5, rebound, finish around the hoop from day one. Great pick up by miles and company

If Garza can’t go this should be a rare road win

Could cost him his job eventually, if not that could definitely cause the kid to transfer out

Refs are trying to give em a chance, Purdue had 5 fouls in the first 2 minutes of the second half. But Purdue is railing them. Up 21 w 16 minutes to go. I wonder if Garza will be back on Sunday

Yup roby has improved quite a bit in the last hand full of games in that regard however. That and the questionable touches Bruno had in the post ticked me off last night

Ya but not as much as the fact they were able to body us all night as we tried to set up offense and only got called for it twice that I saw

Some of it is because he’s tired but ya Palmer isn’t always locked in defensively. For everything else he gives us it’s just kinda something you have to accept though

Did they break a hundred? I saw they had like 54 points at half

I don’t know if we ever go head to head with Maryland for players but after tonight when they had maybe 4,000 there for a top 25 matchup it’s crazy to think a guy would ever pick them over us inless he’s from there. Heck we had a packed house for that school of the blind we faced last Saturday. On the rather bummer of s night take hombridge in the fact that there really is no place like Nebraska.

Cowan was inside Watson’s head all night which hurts but he’s a good player palmer was definitely gassed, shoulda got him a break around the 8 minute mark in the second half after the guy he was guarding scored 3 straight times. depth really hurt us tonight and will probably get us a few more times this year. We basically live and die w JPJ which is fine but we gotta have a few other guys trying to create offense here n there to be an effective offense. Not ready to panic yet we will see what Sunday brings. A loss Sunday and that road game vs Indiana And the home game vs (MSU) become very big. We are still a tournament team but we aren’t a big 10 contender like I had hoped. expectations are nice aren’t they? Two years ago or even last year this is a game we probably don’t expect to win. Currently we are all pissed we didn’t win. For those that think this game was on miles(it wasn’t) that is what progress looks like in a program.

Only lesson they are gonna learn from this one is if you loose the rebound battle. The free throw battle. And the three point battle. Then you ultimately take the L. The Minnesota game they took from us, tonight we Gave it to Maryland. More opportunities out there however

Gotta get Palmer a breather he is sandbagging it on defense right now
