Nebraska 71 - South Florida 68

By the end of that letter I started rooting for the NCAA

Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-3) vs South Florida Bulls (3-3) ** Cayman Islands Classic 2019 ** Date: Wednesday Nov. 27, 2019 Time: 4:00 p.m. Arena: John Grey Gym Broadcast: FloHoops+ (pay) ($30) https://www.flohoops.com/ PSA: DON'T SUBSCRIBE TO THE FLOHOOPS $12.95 PLAN OR YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR South Florida Head Coach: Brian Gregory Location: Tampa, FL Conference: American Nickname: Bulls Mascot: Rocky the Bull KenPom rank: 130 Previous history: 1-1 thanks to a Home and Home series in the Collier era Offensive Style: Guards drive the lane / jack 3s Defensive Style: High pressure guards backed by shot blockers Line: South Florida by 2 Bracket Players to watch: Laquincy Rideau and David Collins The Bulls go as these two guards go. Both offensively are aggressively driving to the paint and exceed at drawing contact. Rideau is the better 3 pointer but both will shoot them. Both are poor FT shooters and average approximately 50% from the line. Both generate high numbers of steals on defense and can disrupt an offense (jokes on them as our half court offense isn't really working anyway) You might remember Rideau from the Gardner Webb team that knocked off Nebraska in 2016. The Skinny: Nebraska looks to bounce back after a thrashing at the hands of George Mason. Brian Gregory brings back most everyone from last year's 24 win team though arguably their most dynamic post player in Alexis Yetna has been out all year so the Bulls have mostly relied on their guards and defense to win games. South Florida has a lot of height though it's mostly utilized for rim protection/rebounding as opposed to offense. Look for Nebraska to struggle again on the boards though not as much as last game. The Huskers seem to ping-pong like immature teams do so the effort missing from Tuesday probably shows up on Wednesday. Defensively, Nebraska's guards will need to be mindful to guard without fouling which has been a problem for Mack and Green in this tourney. The Huskers are going to struggle against this defense in the half court. They're going to need to turn South Florida turnovers into points and should get plenty of opportunities. Both teams are poor shooting FT teams. In what very well could be a close game the team who makes the most here might just pull out the win.

You bastards!

We only have D-1 numbers on some of these guys. Cheatham has been more of a slasher than shooter and that's what we're seeing here. Kavas seems like he's struggling and at some point they'll start dropping. Burke isn't finishing at the rim as well as he should otherwise that's about right for him. Guys will go up and down. Cross was sitting at maybe 11% from 3 after the first two games and now he's at 38% Was hoping Green and Mack would have better numbers given they will dominate the shots this year.

Whatever he said he removed it

There were a lot of disappointing things tonight. One of the more disappointing was how we couldn't get anything going in the paint against a team so small

At least the night was not a total loss

NAILED IT JIMMY

@Norm Peterson Time to update that thread title

Nebraska 73 - George Mason 67

Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-2) vs George Mason Patriots (6-1) ** Cayman Islands Classic 2019 ** Date: Tuesday Nov. 25, 2019 Time: 6:30 p.m. Arena: John Grey Gym Broadcast: FloHoops+ (pay) ($30) https://www.flohoops.com/ PSA: DON'T SUBSCRIBE TO THE FLOHOOPS $12.95 PLAN OR YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR George Mason Head Coach: Dave Paulson Location: Fairfax, VA Conference: A-10 Nickname: Patriots Mascot: THE PATRIOT KenPom rank: 148 Previous history: None Offensive Style: Tim Miles-esque dribble drive Defensive Style: Low Steals/low fouls Line: Nebraska by 2 Bracket Players to watch: AJ Wilson The 6'7" junior is the only rim protector on a very small George Mason team. Wilson does his damage in the paint and draws a lot of fouls down low. The Skinny: Time got away from me here. Dave Paulson is a long time coach and Hoiberg was able to speak about his 1-2-2 three quarter press after beating WSU so we should have a good game plan. GM with that press will be trying to slow down Nebraska after made baskets but a small team like the Patriots will want to get into a running game with Nebraska at times. Always expect the Huskers to shoot from deep but their best bet would be to attack the paint vs a small George Mason squad ill-equipped to stop it. The Patriots are going to throw a dribble drive at Nebraska but the Huskers can also defend without fouling. A potential boost for George Mason might be the return of last year's leading scorer Justin Kier from injury. If Nebraska can get George Mason to play at their speed, they should win this one. In a half-court game, Nebraska's lack of rebounds and FT makes might hand them another loss. Prediction: Nebraska 73 - George Mason 67 View full article

Good find Should be a big game for Oduro with Calixte probably out. (one of their few post players) Kier is probably going to get around 8 minutes today (per Paulsen presser) (Kier was probably their best returning player who hasn't been able to play yet due to a leg injury)

Audio including pre and post game

They don't seem to have the numbers of a successful rock shooting team

Shows Mack with 5 fouls. Did they forget to foul him out?

Nice win!

Is it bad that i'm actively rooting for Mack to not reach double digits so only 4 guys do?
