Allen has D-1 experience and while his 3pt shooting at WV was bad, his FT shooting was good and it's probable he's at least serviceable from long range We probably need to add another post player which would fill us up. Thus we would likely need to lose someone else either currently on the team or committed to the team. Who on the team do we want to lose for a SF with two years left and a checkered past?

Game Day Essentials: Game #4 vs Southern
hhcmatt replied to hhcmatt's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
It is. So if you can't make it and you're going to buy this anyway, you should buy it for this game as well. -
Southern Head Coach: Eric Henderson Location: Baton Rouge, LA Conference: SWAC Nickname: Jaguars Shirt not to wear: Yellow, blue Defensive Style: Generate steals Offensive Style: Points off turnovers Previous history: Nebraska 2-0 vs the Jags with both games coming during the Miles era. 2016 was the 'Jeriah Horne game' which possibly saved Miles from being fired that year. Line: Nebraska by 18.5 Players to watch: Jayden Saddler The 6'0" sophomore PG is the only key returning player from last year and the offense should run through him though he's seen limited time on the court this season due to foul trouble. Most of Saddler's shots come inside the arc and he will definitely take mid-range shots if you let him. Last year he was turnover prone so Nebraska should be able to generate points off his miscues. Hoiberg Presser Green Presser Pretty informative from Green. Didn't really lift weights at Juco and after getting pushed around in the first game is taking the weight room more serious. (There is the D-1 adjustment for you.) Also notes that they reviewed game film about their pace and they're not yet where they need to be. Hoiberg talks about the guys hitting their shots in practice, noting that Kavas has hit well. He expects it to happen soon in a game. When asked about analytics he brought up shot charts for both his offense and defense. Hoiberg values shot selection as much as anything in basketball. The Skinny: Former Kentucky Wildcats standout Sean Woods was a coach on the rise after building up Miss Valley St in the SWAC and Morehead St into winners until he was basically forced to resign due to allegations of assaulting two of his players. Woods was an assistant in 2017 for Stenson before being hired back into the SWAC by Southern. The roster has undergone a complete transformation as the Jaguars rank 343rd in KenPom minutes continuity. (The Huskers clock in at #352). Much like Nebraska, it's doubtful the Jags have figured things out just yet. Southern has a couple of guys over 6'9" but realistically it's a shorter team and Nebraska shouldn't be plagued by rebounding issues. The thing this Jaguar team will do is try and pressure the ball for steals to feed their anemic offense. The Huskers have protected the ball well the first 3 games though we'll see what happens in what should be their first game against a non-passive defense. Nebraska would need to lay an UC Riverside-esque turd to lose this game and frankly this team doesn't seem to possess the type of traits I think will give this Nebraksa team trouble (size, experience, slow pace). I think that Southern wants to play fast so expect another high scoring game. Is this the one where the Huskers finally start hitting 3s? Prediction: Nebraska 94 - Southern 75 with a 99 % chance of Runzas

uneblinstu’s postgame chatter: vol 12; vs. South Dakota St.
hhcmatt replied to uneblinstu's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
Perhaps it was neither reported nor seen, but no mention of anyone getting in extra shooting practice after this one. -
If everything was cut and dry then why hold the waiver submission for so long? Seems to reason that had we submitted our request earlier we would already have an answer. If the purpose of holding it was to increase our chances of it being granted for this year it would seem that it's already cost Stevenson 3 games. Nature abhors a vacuum. Either the University can fill that void with information or else we can fill it with speculation. I'd prefer the former but that doesn't mean I dismiss the latter.

Starting to feel like Nebraska screwed this up
-
We've been working under the impression that his transfer clock started when the transferred from Pitt. Perhaps it started when he transferred from Nevada which would only give him two years regardless of when he started.

The thought that DW would not sign at Nebraska because he wanted to prove first that his knee was good enough and thus he was good enough seems pretty far fetched if you think about it. How volatile is this roster/program? I think on April 15th he's going to have a better answer for that question than he would now. I would assume that he's going to sign here unless whatever we do in the next 5 months changes that. I would also assume he's not going to sit around without a backup plan.
