A 5 star that hasn't necessarily done anything. He was beat out by younger players. My guess he would be an incoming senior? I'd rather build with younger guys.
That should be our offense going forward anyway. This season the offense flows so much better when we take it inside.
My main point is making it so the game doesn't have a good flow for Iowa. I know we outscored Indiana but I'm not sure that will be successful a majority of the time for this team.
I'm actually not sure how well we match-up with Iowa. They can put up quite a few points. In that regard, Northwestern is probably the better match-up this week. I think we have to make the Iowa game ugly. Go hard inside, get fouled.
Now back home where they haven't played well. This start should have the fans energized. The team has to continue bringing the energy. Good opportunity to get at least one before going on the road again.
Seemed about like a normal non-conference for the past many years. They beat Marquette a 20 game winner and eventual NCAA team. Their losses weren't bad. UAB won 24 games and made the tournament. Then both Florida State and Creighton were on the road. Both won 20 games and made the NIT. That team was also in the NCAA conversation. But like many Nebraska teams couldn't get the win.
McCray wasn't returning.
Anyway, I would call it a wash. Depending on what happens for the rest of this year.
