Jordy has regressed in my book. 100% left moves only. Sometimes does not even get his eyes on the rim before shooting the ball. Dribbles in the lane against double teams thus becoming a turnover machine. And finally he continues to bring the ball down to his waist so 5’9 guards can pick his pocket. He could be cured of this by running him until he pukes in practice EVERY TIME he brings the ball down. Guarantee it will work after the second time he puked his guts out. But on the positive side he does hustle as much as any big man I’ve ever seen...diving for loose balls, etc., so in my book he gets minutes to improve his game. IMO If he gets a good look at the rim before shooting and keeps the ball up high he’ll deserve minutes rather than playing charity minutes. With lots of coaching he could be very good.

Miles usually sits some of our regulars in order to match up with our opponents size wise rather then the other way around.

Palmer was a little better at identifying a double or triple team and dishing off in this game.

88-75 NU 9 non con 19 total wins

Jordy struggles against quicker shorter people because he brings the ball down to his waist way too much!

They missed 18 three’s and I would wager that they rebounded at least 10 of those long bouncing bricks.

He was aggressive in driving but had no plan and was out of control In my opinion. He is a keeper In my opinion.

Actually I would prefer if he actually got his eyes on the target (the rim) prior to shooting. In this respect he reminds me of Maric from prior years who released his shot before eye balling the basket many times. Our seats are down low under basket near NU bench and on two of his shots his head had not turned enough to actually see the basket before shooting the ball. He is coachable and will learn.

When I saw Copeland’s jump shot I groaned cuz it is so flat that his window of entry to hit the jumper is very narrow. He will be one dimensionable until he gets some air in his jumper.

Retired just three weeks ago so watched whole ball game and enjoyed it. However the constant pitching changes even when a pitcher seems to have it really irritates me! As to this being a five hour game, as a reference point, back in the day, I once pitched a nine inning D1 game that ended with a 2-1 score and it was over in one hour and forty minutes. I’m sure that sux double plays and only 1 walk had something to do with it.

He weighs in at 190.

I will call him "Thor" for obvious reasons. Robin Washnut likes this commitment. Says he is not just a three point specialist but likes to slash to the basket and shoot floaters or dish it off. He is 19 years old and has played against some of the top competition in the world for Iceland. Washnut says that Thor has a high basketball IQ and knows where to be in space offensively. He averaged 20 points per game in the 2016 U18 FIBA World Championships. He is 6'5 but didn't see anything regarding his weight.

Larry was from Geneva and played basketball for NU but was a much better baseball catcher for NU. I think he was all Big Eight once or twice. He probably had a full ride in baseball, (We all got full rides in those days.) so he may have been a walk on in basketball technically. I had the pleasure of pitching to Larry in semi-pro baseball as 17 and 18 year old.

This knee jerk hatred of all things Creighton is so childish. I know of no one who supports Husker basketball more than myself (since 1956 at age 6) but I totally respect CU basketball and root for them whenever they are not playing the Huskers.

Netting out by subtraction and addition I would suggest that we will be much improved on offense, a little worse on defense and rebounding and probably misding some full out hustle that Fuller, Jacobson and Morrow provided.

Maybe it's just me but who was the last point guard that we had at Nebraska who regularely penetrated into the defense, which in turn caused it to collapse, which in turn left a "big" open for an easy dish off and also usually left a three point shooter wide open? Our drivers usually get their shoot blocked or turn it over or get into a jump ball situation, only scoring occasionally. Rarely do they dish it off or dish it out in a productive manner which should happen almost every time. Also, overall, our passes are sloppy as they are high, low or off to the side which throws the shooters timing and balance off. Sort of the Tommy Armstrong school of passing. Just some ranting from an old point guard.

Roby improving his shot is a real concept when he almost never shoots other than a dunk or put back. He took a regular shot against Minn. and I almost fainted. His length is a real asset but his lack of interest on offense really hurts us. It has been Benny Parker like. I think he needs to flush this year and come back shooting next year.

We had five guys in double figure scoring! But..,,,,

Another Tech foul will help!

A few games back I said Nebraska is a team no one wants to play in the Big Ten tourney. Now I say Rutgers can't wait to play us!

websters double digit scoring streak might bite the dust tonight.

Ugly!!!!!

Lynch no blocks vs Thimanga but he's 0-4 or so shooting over him. No shoot even close to going in.
