Lloyd is #12 #1 Sierra Canyon(CA) vs #5 Duncanville (TX) Spoiler, Duncanville wins Full https://www.espn.com/espnplus/player/_/id/84b2c401-eed5-42eb-9a02-8efce20b1a36 If you have ESPN+ Would be curious about feedback on this one.

Bryce so nice he got it twice

He was suspended the first game for playing in an unsanctioned summer league. Not sure about everything else including the 0 minutes last game.

An underrated takeaway.

Keats at NC State has been running a lot of pick and roll there. Does anyone have access to stats about how much they run pick and roll and how well we defend?

Box Score

Notes and quotes from UNL Postgame Notes vs. South Dakota *-Keisei Tominaga totaled a career-high 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting in 22 minutes off the bench. The sophomore has now been in double figures in three of the past four games. Tominaga’s five 3-pointers were a season-high for a Husker and the most since Kobe Webster had seven at Northwestern on March 7, 2021. *-Tominaga is the fourth different Husker to post a 20-point game this season, and second from a reserve (Kobe Webster vs. Creighton) *-Derrick Walker made his first field goal against USD, which tied the school record with 15 consecutive field goals dating back to Nov. 21. Walker, who missed his second field goal attempt, tied the mark of Ade Dagunduro in 2008. *-Walker has now been in double figures in four consecutive games, the longest stretch of his career. Prior to this season, he had just three career double-figure games. *-Bryce McGowens posted his third 20-point game of the season with 22 points, nine rebounds and four assists. McGowens tied his season high in assists with four. *-Wilhelm Breidenbach posted a career-high five steals, the most by any Husker in a game in 2021-22. The last Husker with at least five steals in a game was Teddy Allen, who had five against North Dakota State on Nov. 28, 2020. As a team, Nebraska had 10 steals, its highest total since having 10 against Rutgers on March 1, 2021. *-Nebraska finished with multiple 20-point scorers for the second time this season (also vs. Western Illinois). *-As a team, Nebraska had 18 assists for the fourth straight game. *-Nebraska’s 83 points was a season-high (previous best 82 vs. Southern). Nebraska Coach Fred Hoiberg On Keisei Tominaga: “He is just a guy that puts so much time and effort and work into it. I have not said much to him just because of how good of a shooter he is. Sometimes human nature as a shooter is to try to get a little closer to the rim and to guide it in. I think we have a couple guys that were doing that. Just really trying to get him back out and shoot with confidence and trust the stroke. It is a thing of beauty. It is what has gotten him to this point. It was just a matter of time before he took the lid off and it was the perfect timing for us. It was great to see him get going like he did.” On having the lead for 31 minutes of play: “I thought it was a very entertaining game. I thought our guys really went out and shared it. I think that is four games in a row with 18 assists. I talked to our guys after the game. We are getting better. We are growing as a basketball team. They are starting to figure each other out. Much better than we were the first couple of games, and we had our best stretch of basketball. There is no doubt about it. We still have areas we need to get better absolutely, but to build that cushion and to do it with different guys. That is what we talked about all along with this group. It is not going to be the same person every night. Keisei (Tominaga) got it going tonight. C.J. (Wilcher) was the guy the other night. Bryce (McGowens) has obviously been very steady. It is great to see him growing in all areas. So just a really good total team effort.” Sophomore Guard Keisei Tominaga On his overall performance “I just keep shooting in practice and stuff. It felt good today.” On his celebrations “I don't really know. When I was young, I watched the NBA and I learned how to celebrate.” On the adjustment to this level of basketball “It’s a higher level. I have to get more physical tough and energetic. I just have to continue to get better.” Freshman Guard Bryce McGowens On shots falling and the team's confidence growing “It all starts with playing as a team and believing in each other and knowing that your teammate has your back and believes in you. It just gives you a lot of confidence to knock down your shots and removes the pressure.” On why they are extra excited for Keisei “He’s a big-time player. He’s not from here so it’s different having someone outside of the U.S. bring that type of energy. He’s an amazing player.” On being in more playmaking situations “We have a lot of people that can score the ball on this team. I feel comfortable knowing that the next player is going to make a play out of the play that I make. I am feeling really comfortable in the role.” South Dakota Head Coach Todd Lee On how Nebraska changed the game in the second half “We were down eight at the half, and we didn’t execute defensively at all. That was disappointing. We turned it over 18 times in the game and that stands out. That’s too many. We got it to seven, and then we were zero of four from the line. It could have been a three-point game at that point which is big. We didn’t make our free throws, and we turned it over too much. The three ball did keep us in it.” On defending Nebraska at the three-point line “We let Keisei Tominaga get away from us. We did a good job on everybody else, but he got away from us and that was a big part of why we lost.” On what they are going to work on moving forward “Our defensive execution has got to improve. We were bad. We gave up four backdoor layups and too many threes. We’ve got to do a better job of chasing shooters. A lot of it is execution defense. We ended up minus eight in turnovers and plus three on offensive boards so we were minus five but the biggest thing is the 18 turnovers and the lack of defensive execution.”

Specifically Keisei went off which I don't think had anything to do with who else was on the court today. We have the sort of depth where if any of the starters are playing poorly we absolutely should see what our bench has. Verge had it last game and didn't this game.

This game wasn't as close as the final score indicates. Nebraska built up a nice halftime lead despite South Dakota hitting everything from outside. Then with 11 minutes to go and us up by 7, CJ hits a 3 and Keisei steals the inbound pass and we're up 12. Nebraska tacks on 10 straight after that and it's 75-53 with 6 minutes to go. Keisei was a hell of a spark today. His shooting got us back into the game and he helped key our run. His first make of the game he has a guard closing out on him, takes a side dribble, and knocked it down. He was on all day after that including some nice shots in the paint. He's an offensive explosion waiting to happen. Kobe had it today and Verge didn't, and the minutes reflected that. With Trey out it's vital that at least one of them is playing well every single game. Kobe actually missed a bunch of shots too today but you don't notice it as much because he's not dribbling as much. Bryce makes at least a few plays a game where you can see why he's such a highly regarded NBA prospect. This was his 3rd game with 10+ FT attempts; his athleticism has been racking up a lot of free points for us Walker tied the Nebraska record for consecutive makes over multiple games with 15 today. Ade Daugunduro set the record back in 2008. After his first miss today, he proceeded to make his next 5. We started out well again so today was the day that Keon stayed in after the first TV timeout. South Dakota goes on a run and out he goes. A lot of empty minutes Mayen looks completely lost out there. Breidenbach with active hands out there today, 5 steals. He has his wtf moments but was a plus today. Wilcher had a solid 20 minutes out there today. He's just really solid and Keisei playing so well probably limited his minutes. Ed was a plus on the boards tonight.

We were actually 103 coming into this game and at 102 since you posted. A lot of movement this time of year.

Nebraska 88 - South Dakota - 69

Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-2) vs South Dakota Coyotes (4-1) Date: Saturday Nov 27, 2021 Time: 1:00 pm Arena: PBA Broadcast: BTN+ South Dakota Info Head Coach: Todd Lee Location: Vermillion, SD Conference: Summit Nickname: Coyotes Mascots: Charlie Rotation Depth: 9 KenPom: 207 Line: Nebraska by 12 Other: Nebraska leads the series 32-6 Nebraska comes into this game with a 4-0 record vs teams with a quadruped mascot. 0-2 in all other games. This is the 2nd year Nebraska plays South Dakota and the 3rd year in a row we've played a team from "the Dakotas" South Dakota has a couple of former Nebraska basketball players on the roster. Johnny Trueblood is a grad assistant and Brady Heiman is a player. Heiman doesn't appear to be playing at this point You could call today's game an unofficial Golden Window Classic championship in honor of last year's thrown together tournament. Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee St, and Southern all play each other this season. South Dakota has also beaten Tennessee St and Southern. Tennessee St hosts Southern on Sunday in the 'consolation game'. Player to watch: Kruz Perrott-Hunt South Dakota has their own New Zealand PG these days and Perrott-Hunt is leading the team in assists and scoring. Much like Tai, he functions like a combo guard in Todd Lee's motion offense. Player to watch: Tasos Kamateros The European center (Greece) will pick and pop from the 3pt line and can be trouble on the boards. Has been foul prone his entire career. UNL Game Notes Probable starters for Nebraska 1 Alonzo Verge G 6-3 5 Bryce McGowens G 6-7 23 Keon Edwards G 6-7 11 Lat Mayen F 6-9 13 Derrick Walker F 6-9 Bench 32 Wilhelm Breidenbach F 6-10 30 Keisei Tominaga G 6-2 0 C.J. Wilcher G 6-5 35 Eduardo Andre F 6-11 10 Kobe Webster G 6-0 14 Trevor Lakes F 6-8 3 Quaran McPherson G 6-3 33 Oleg Kojenets F 7-0 4 Jackson Cronin G 6-1 12 Sam Hoiberg G 6-0 15 Chris McGraw G 6-0 21 Jace Piatkowski G 6-3 The Skinny: For the second consecutive year Todd Lee and the Coyotes roll into town. Last year the Coyotes scored 69 points in that game with Stanley Umude putting up 23 and AJ Plitzuweit putting up 24. Umude transferred to Arkansas for his last year and Plitzuweit is out for the season with injury. There is arguably less firepower available in Vermillion this year though thus far the Coyotes have been manufacturing it at the FT line. They currently lead DIv I in the KenPom stats of FTA/FGA and % of their total points scored from shooting FTs. Defensively, the Coyotes aren't great and are routinely roasted from the 3pt line. That 3pt defense looked pretty good last year in Lincoln though as Nebraska hucked their way to 29% 3pt shooting. Is this the game where the 3 balls start going in for Nebraska? It's probable that Nebraska will appear to be playing better defense today but it remains to be seen how much of that is Nebraska and how much it will be South Dakota's commitment to driving into the paint; this is a team that likely won't kill you launching uncontested 3s. Offensively this has the makings of turning into Alonzo Verge dribbling around and taking 15-20 shots. Honestly this isn't a bad way to beat this Coyote team with it's lack of rim protection. If the Huskers make some 3s today though, watch out. Can Nebraska basketball help salvage the Black Friday of Nebraska football and volleyball?

I think so as well. Someone here please call into Hoiberg's radio show unless one of the local scribes is going to formally ask about this.

The thing about glossing over the bad stuff and just remembering the good stuff of the Tim Miles era is that he had good stuff.

Just think how awkward it would have been for someone to unload on Sadler about November of 2018.

Work our way up into the type of team that could be the #1 seed in the Wednesday B1G Tourney game and go from there.

Verge is like any polarizing issue: there is a lot of middle ground to be found in between he's our most important player and he's responsible for holding back the team. As far as Teddy goes the very important distinction to be made between these two ball dominant players is that Teddy was hunting for scoring opportunities and Verge is hunting for passing opportunities.

Was looking more into Keon Edwards minutes. One correction in this thread is that he's played the majority of his minutes at the wing, not at the 4. In the last 3 games he's only been on the court with Lat and Derrick. https://hoop-explorer.com/LineupAnalyzer?baseQuery="Edwards%2C Keon" &filter=&gender=Men&maxRank=400&maxTableSize=50&minPoss=5&minRank=0&showGameInfo=true&sortBy=desc%3Aoff_poss&team=Nebraska&year=2021%2F22& I know that Bryce and Keon play together but functionally speaking minutes without Trey break down like Bryce and Keon are in a platoon and Bryce gets the lionshare of minutes. What would our night have looked like if Wilcher had come in for Lat instead of Edwards at the first TV timeout?

Roll out Lakes for 8 minutes straight and see what happens? Have Bryce eat A BUNCH at Thanksgiving?

Looks like Miles is making $700k at San Jose. That's a bit more than they were paying the last guy.

In the Fred Hoiberg Era

If better defensive teams can take this away and we don't have a counter, we'll just throw up shots and hope. Any time teams are going to give us this though, we should absolutely spam it.

That's the first time, including exhibition games, that one was able to walk out of the PBA 3 consecutive times with a win in the Fred Hoiberg Era
