He wouldn't be playing as much as he's playing now, but we struggled to score last year and we heard several times he was as good of a scorer as we had on that team. There were minutes for him last year if he hadn't redshirted.

Maybe part of the reason he redshirted was to get acclimated at point at the next level. Maybe he won't have to do as much here as he had to do at Seward County. Looking at an assist to turnover ratio from one-year at JUCO probably isn't the best thing to go off of. It's all I have to go by and I'd trust it more than most high school stats. Gallegos redshirted for the exact same reason and didn't really solve the issue. Parker won't be the only guy to play PG next year, Biggs, Webster and perhaps even Gallegos will get time there, but I think a healthy Parker gets a pretty decent chunk of time there. Didnt he redshirt because he wasnt going to play much last year? I don't think you will see much of Parker next year. The story I remember was he sat out because he wanted to get stronger and develop his game. I remember an article about him learning to play the point. I'm sure playing time was part of the equation as well, though there was playing time to be had last year.

Not as a point guard, no.

Webster maybe, but as long as Biggs turns it over as often as he assists like he did at Seward County, he shouldn't be initiating the offense.

I'm sure that's true, but it does look sweet.

Alright, I could get on board with that.

Couple things work in Parkers favor, though. First, he should be healthy by then, he's not now. Plus, he'll be the only true point guard on the team. Gallegos, Webster and Biggs all are more suited for the 2 spot. There will be minutes for Parker if he can get the team into and out of the offense.

both can't be true. Either it was the right call, or the ball don't lie, if the ball don't lie, then, in theory, the FT's would have gone in.

I do, too. I think Brooklyn's floor is my favorite NBA court.

Something fairly subtle like what I'm seeing at Butler right now would be cool too.

Fair enough.

We're still worried about that?

No way. Talley's turned into a pretty effective point guard.

- Good to see Brandon back. - Got off to a bit of a slow start, getting down 7-0 - Huskers responded well from there, made a quick 10-0 run to get right back in the game. - Both teams struggle on the interior. NU having some success, though. This game is basically a statlemate on the glass. - Ray with some early success is good for NU, we'll see if he can carry that through the 2nd half. - Shields gets better by the day. Fun to watch him develop. 29 points was the most from a Husker freshman since Tyronn Lue eclipsed the 30 mark in 1996 - I hate the stupid bail out foul they called on Rivers in the corner that gave Penn St. the three free throws. You'd like to think the refs have more discernment than that. Then again, it was Tom O'Neill... - NU controlled the first few minutes of the 2nd half. Couple of quick threes by PSU and it's a game again. - Zone defense giving NU fits. - Shields hitting some big boy shots for NU. - Tyrance didn't see much time today, but that foul on the three was big.- NU's propensity to give up offensive rebounds is disturbing. - NU's response after Penn St. went on their run to take the lead was really encouraging. - I'm not sure what the refs were looking at that flagrant foul on Ubel. I saw it similarly to how Sam McKewon saw it. https://twitter.com/swmckewonOWH/status/292724302602702848 - Saw a lot of tweets like this one after Penn St. couldn't hit a free throw at the end: https://twitter.com/caymen25/status/292724344868716544 -All in all, a win is a win. NU fought through some adversity and made plays down the stretch and Penn St. didn't. There's some mental toughness on this team that hasn't necessarilly been there in the past. The depth is going to keep them from winning many more games, but there's a lot to like from who is on the roster right now. Click here to view the article

I hope like heck you are right. I'm guessing Penn State is thinking the same thing. But, let's say we play our guts out tomorrow and we just can't shoot it in there to save our lives and Shavon gets some cheap quirky fouls called on him and is a non factor and some guy the scout says "can't shoot a lick" so we decide to take our chances and sag off him big time in order to help inside b/c we are playing our small line up and he nails 3 key treys at various crucial points in the game and the game gets away and we end up losing by 20. The analysis will be fun after that. Miles is certainly giving all he's got ( thanks for posting that Hugh ) and I tend to think the team is to. Coach is not conceding anything and I really appreciate that fight. Little bit of a slow start, but hasn't really been an issue since.

Look for as good an effort as we've seen all year tomorrow.

I don't think it's a given that both those guys play the point.

Isn't that what Pitchford's supposed to be?

Agau got nominated, too...

Having not seen all in the top group play, I think they would, though Shields and Rivers would get things done. I think it'd be fairly competitive, though. If all 10 plus Parker were available, I think it's a team that could do some good things.
