I'm like 100% against Allick and Gary shooting 3's unless we're up by a 3-4 possession margin, and they put nails in the coffin. Gary has a little longer leash I suppose, but I'm never too excited when either are shooting.

I really like it - mainly because Allick and Gary can guard 3-5, and both can survive against others. Makes us, theoretically, a rebounding match-up nightmare.

Why do you always kill my buzz lol? Can I just add... And this is just my opinion (also, please don't take anything I say as a "shot" towards AAU/Summer ball) - but I personally am growing a bit weary of your first sentence when it comes to evaluating D1 prospects. You're obviously not the first person to say that so I am not coming at you or anything. But summer/AAU ball is almost entirely about athleticism and individual ability. There are countless guys Nebraska continually gets beat/torched by over the years that I guarantee would not stand out in the summer circuit. But things really change when you get into actual competition. How do you play within a system? How do you play when teams are playing scouted, practiced, team defense vs prioritizing 1 on 1? How do you play when you're balancing a full course load, weights, individuals, film, and 3 hour daily grueling practices? FWIW, I am fully aware that AAU has greatly improved and these teams are very serious. But at the end of the day the slide is still heavily pushed towards "showcasing your individual talent" vs "team basketball." But this is why I predicted, after the first time I saw them play in an actual game, that Chucky Hepburn would have a better college career than Hunter Sallis (Hunter's having a nice year this year, but I'd say it's pretty clear Chucy's had the better college career, and yes, Hunter is still the obvious better NBA prospect). You obviously can't have a team full of Marcus Glock's, I get that. But if I'm nebraska I'm keeping my eye on him for future transfer looks.

What an ass kicking. Michigan didn’t stand a chance. Can we, ya know, for once… follow this up with a run?

This team is either making you beat your chest with pride or they’re making you hide from embarrassment and there’s no in between. Fred’s about to squander one of the better teams that’s come through here.

Well but it was never, "either or." Didn't we get Williams before HS, and HS visited even after we already had him?

Why would we do that and not Uhlis?

I appreciate your input and experience, but I respectfully disagree. Not that he's a great kid and coachable, just what his strengths and weaknesses are as far as basketball.

I feel like every time these two teams play no one really wants to win. Hence why I am going to submit a tie and live with the results. NU - 77 NW - 77

I don't think Hunter Sallis fits this Husker team at all, and that's not a knock on Sallis. He'd have the same issues here at NU that he was having at Gonzaga. We play a pretty strict system defensively (not his strength) and we play a pretty heavy read and react, principled motion on offense (also not his strength). Hunter belongs in more of an open system where he can use his instincts and play free.

You're splitting hairs. I am just talking about a go-to, versatile, athletic, long wing who can go be a dude when you need it.

A line-up of: BWill, KT, CJ, Mast, and JG should have open driving lanes for JG and BWill all over the place. Those two should live at the FT line. We'd have to get those calls, of course, but in theory anyways.

Alright I appreciate that.

I have heard people say that what this team is missing is a James Palmer or Terran Petteway... Which I kind of agree with - but the thing is - it's literally on the roster. That could easily be Brice Williams. He's got the length, athleticism, 3-Level scoring ability, etc... This staff needs to figure out Brice Williams. He is not lazy, he is not uninspired or unemotional, as people have said - the dude clearly cares and is giving it his all. It seems to me to be more of a confidence issue. They've gotta figure out a way to get him confident and recognize that he could be a dude. This guy has the tools to score ~18-20 a game or so. If they can figure out a way to unlock Brice from ear to ear, that will unlock this season in my opinion.

That’s a win in my book don’t care what score says. Got screwed.

THIS IS HOMECOOKING BULL SHIT

Playing 8-5

Are we 100% sure Marcus Glock is not a D1 guy? 6’4”, decent athlete, lefty, has gotten a lot stronger. But most importantly, just a pure sniper. Has some limitations athletically as a D1 guy for sure… but…. Idk man… @Jacob Padilla

NU - 64 IL - 81

I don’t know man. I just don’t know. I’m shaking and at a loss for words. Unbelievable effort and resolve. To me, this is one of the greatest wins in Nebrasketball history.

I am shaking

FFFFUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK YYYYEEEESSSSS

I fucking hate this defense so much. If a guy is going off - there is ZERO adjustment to be made. They’re still gonna over help, over rotate, double the post, etc… just so stupid. JUST GUARD NORMAL. Stop the junk crap. #11 is going off - he should be no help.
