We need McGowen's backside to draw one more foul on Alvarodo

McGowens earned that one. ouch

He's stopped short 4 games in a row now. He went overboard that time and we ended up paying the price

Your refs tonight are D.J Carstensen, Donnie Eppley, and Lewis Garrison

Josh Pastner statistically is a coach who will keep a guy with 2 fouls in the first half on the court more than most.

I wonder if they want Stevenson's bulk over Thorir today

I think Moses is every bit as mobile as Lat so when they do run man I don't think they'll have a problem. However they spend a majority of time in a shifting zone. We're going to deal more with driving into charges/double teams as opposed to getting shots blocked in this one. Moses Wright I think works fast enough where it's going to be more about denying him as opposed to double-teaming him. He's a career 19.1 3pt shooter so he's no big threat from out there.

If you're running an off-topic section for forum members over the age of 30 you're basically running a fight club, especially when your visitors are a mix of people who hate Nebraska and people who own Nebraska gear.

Our scoring droughts in the Miles era took more time than the ones in the Hoiberg era because of pace.

Nebraska 78 - Georgia Tech 72 4

Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-1) vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (1-2) Date: Wednesday Dec 9, 2020 Time: 6:15 pm Arena: PBA Broadcast: ESPN2 Georgia Institute of Technology Head Coach: Josh Pastner Location: Atlanta, Georgia Conference: ACC Nickname: Yellow Jackets Mascot: Buzz and Ramblin' Wreck KenPom rank: 75 Previous history: Georgia Tech leads the all-time series 2-0 including throttling the Huskers 73-56 last season. Offensive Style: Five out Princeton offense, dribble drive motion, scoring in the paint Defensive Style: A funky 1-3-1 zone that morphs into a 2-3 / 3-2 zone Rotation Size: 7-8 Line: Nebraska by 1 Due to cancellations this game has moved from ESPNU to ESPN2 Players to watch: Moses Wright Senior F Moses Wright has been the best player for the Yellowjackets this season, currently leading the team in scoring, rebounding, and blocks. With GT switching to a smaller lineup vs Kentucky, Wright spent most of the game as their starting center which is mitigated by how much Tech plays zone. Wright has struggled from 3 most of his college career but is a nifty 3-5 this season. Players to watch: Jose Alvarado Tech's Senior PG Alvarado leads the team in assists and steals, often times parked at the top of their 1-3-1. Has struggled with his shot to start the season. Players to watch: Michael Devoe The talented wing might be their most dangerous scorer, last year shooting 42.7% from 3 while making it to the FT line 100+ times. Devoe was held scoreless vs Kentucky which shows how balanced the scoring is on this team. Roster points PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 3 Bubba Parham 5-10 162 Sr 10 Jose Alvarado 6-0 179 Sr 0 Michael Devoe 6-5 197 Jr 4 Jordan Usher 6-7 213 Sr 5 Moses Wright 6-9 233 Sr 26.9 2 3 Bubba Parham 5-10 162 Sr 10 Jose Alvarado 6-0 179 Sr 0 Michael Devoe 6-5 197 Jr 12 Khalid Moore 6-7 200 Jr 5 Moses Wright 6-9 233 Sr 21.7 Georgia Tech shortened their bench vs Kentucky, only playing 7. Bubba Parham is the other 3pt shooter to keep tabs on along with Alvarado and Devoe. Those 3 take the majority of 3s on a team that doesn't shoot a ton of them Jordan Usher has been a solid second banana on the defensive end and his shot has been reliable thus far, slotting in as Tech's "big man" for short periods Khalid Moore doesn't shoot much as struggles when he does USC transfer guard Kyle Sturdivant is still trying to get up to speed defensively but was a spark vs Kentucky, chipping in a career high 15. 6'10" 240# Georgia transfer Rodney Howard started the first two games and then didn't play vs Kentucky. Is a rim protector. 6'8" Jordan Meka and 7'1" Saba Gigiberia are freshmen post players who haven't been ready to contribute Hoiberg Presser Thorir Presser Banton Presser Hoiberg got into their 1-3-1 as well as detailing some of the personnel. Also we haven't yet found a replacement game for Florida A&M but it's a possibility for next week. The Skinny: Georgia Tech got off to a slow start which could be blamed on Josh Pastner's decision to implement an "unheard of plan" of non-contact practices. Additionally Pastner was looking to put in more dribble drive to take advantage of this roster. After loses to Georgia St and Mercer, the Ramblin' Wreck scrapped those plans, switched to a smaller lineup, and gave Kentucky the business. Tech is one of those 'bring almost everyone back' squads. However, that one player not coming back was the 6'10" shot blocking, defensive anchor James Banks. After problems trying to replicate the success with that size, Tech has leaned on defensive quickness and familiarity. Expect that trend to continue against the small ball Huskers. The turnovers that fueled Tech's offense vs Kentucky will be a lot harder to come by vs Nebraska as ball control has been the one positive offensive constant of the Nebraska Hoiberg era. Both teams still aren't confident in their half court offenses and will look to get out in transition at the expense of giving up 2nd chance points. Georgia Tech is going to try and work their way into the paint. Nebraska took the few zone looks they saw thus far and ate them up. Tech runs zone for a living so we'll find out how much this team is willing to pass its way to open looks vs driving into defenders/jacking up 3s. One random thing to note is that Trey McGowens played GT twice last year in ACC play. Defensively ,Nebraska's tendency to pack the paint is essentially what you want to run against GT and should hopefully help in keeping Moses Wright in check. If Tech gets comfortable shooting from outside, it will be a long night for the scarlet and cream. Nebraska's interior defense is suspect so you could see the Yellow Jackets looking down the bench in this game for some of that size. There really is no outcome, be it blowout win for either team or 4 OT game that would be surprising. Prediction: Nebraska 78 - Georgia Tech 72 View full article

Hey, missing FTs is OUR thing

Here is one sort of one-off uniform from 1940-1941. Appears to be white numbers on a white uniform. The 1939-1940 group photo seems to be a mix of this and the traditional red lettering on white uniform

I think that the 1991 uniforms and the 1993 uniforms are identical except that the 1991 uniforms sport an American flag on the right shoulder due to the Gulf War.

Here are the 1990-91 jerseys worn vs Kansas in the 1991 Big 8 semifinal win over Kansas.

Dirk has an article that confirms

Illinois is going to give Duke all they can handle

The problem with hard set rules is that I won't get them right and the game will move to making that apparent. I would very much like to spend most to all of my time posting about Nebraska basketball, not being some sort of moderating hardass.

Us or them play zone? I know they play a lot of 1-3-1 and that is part of what messed up Kentucky

This topic was about a Nebraska Basketball press conference that included the Nebraska Basketball team and the Nebraska Basketball head coach. It was covered by everyone who covers Nebraska Basketball, including Huskers.com. First I summarized what was said at the conference. Then I went on to offer thoughts, including trying to tie this into the overall prospects of our team. I purposely constructed my posts to the best of my ability to give no political views to what could be considered to be a political statement by the team. This isn't a message board for political views though I could understand why they might be expressed here in this germane topic.

We shot 42% from the field if you don't count their 16 blocked shots....so we shot 32%. Chipped in 18 turnovers and 8-18 FT shooting. In terms of offensive efficiency, that was your rock bottom for 2020.

We should be a lot more worried with staying outbreak free than occasional teams dropping out on us. Gonzaga is pausing for 2 weeks and is missing 4 games during that time.

Put up an 18-9 on us last year. They spread the ball out so much though you can't really key on just one guy.

Tom Allen still doing that thing where he starts, plays 17-20 minutes a game, makes a couple of 3s, gets some steals.
