Only caught the 2nd half tonight. Beautiful November night and Friday. It was nice to see families and kids out enjoying it.
Notes:
- missed a lot of his action, but Bryce only scoring 6 isn't as big an issue as it seems. Somebody mentioned in the game thread that he might not like scoring less than 20, but it was an efficient night with 7 rebounds to lead the team (I believe ) . I think he ended 3 - for - 6 so that's 50%, nbd.
- verge making progress trying to be a point guard proper. Still has bad habits from his normal play style from Arizona, but bad habits die hard. If Fred gets the guys playing right and quick passing, we can explode on offense. I see this problem originating from our pg position as the main reason for the woes early season and two painful losses.
- good to see Andre get some time. Still don't love his effort, which might be revealing some of the reasons he's not earning favor with Fred yet. Who knows. I'm sure he'll rotate in more later on.
- everyone loves breidenbach and keisei, myself included! Lots of fun dudes in this second unit.
- saw Trevor lakes get in, he doesn't look smooth. He's a big body on the perimeter though, so I'm sure he will find some development and minor minutes this year at times.
- big fan of Keon and CJ. I like their size and shooting potential. Supposedly they can shoot? Have to overcome the husker curse of every good shooter coming here to post career low %s. Smh. I beleive, hope we can change this curse. Idk what's going on for the last decade plus with this phenomenon.
Overall good to see a win like this, routine. Need wins for confidence just like every young team does, and like our football team desperately does.

The hustle and effort definitely leaves much to be desired... Early season but is concerning.
-
Omfg after leading for most of the game on reb, and still to tie with Idaho st? Ugh bad feeling rn.
Still can't complain.
Go get southern on Sunday.

Maybe I'm seeing the holes in Dre's game--- he's raw. Maybe some work rate and effort to be desired too. Maybe Fred wants to see more of thay before he earns time. I think us fans are just hungry for an inside presence so it's hard to not see him logging minutes esp early.
This team will look different in a month or two for sure.

"we want Andre" chants heheh

There he is! Dre bruv

Just came here to post this! Surprising as this would have been a good game to get him some minutesSame. I guess there are things inside Fred's coaching mind that are beyond my understanding.

Like what I’m seeing from Verge tonight.
Me too. He's still holding the ball too long, but if he's gonna buy into playing point, actual point, I don't mind seeing him involved.
I think a Lotta ppl including myself didn't really watch much sundevil tape on him, or heed the warnings of asu fans who know well the high volume selfish version of verge.
At the same time I think there's a good side of him that can score in the flow of the offense but really facilitate mainly. And I think Fred is trying to cultivate that.
Imo, maybe I'm a little extreme here, but I want coach to bench players who refuse to play unselfish. Gotta teach them. They gotta learn the hard way sometimes.
-
Winning on the boards! (knock on wood) anything is good progress there! Promising signs against a bad team here.
-
Get back game. I'll finally be back from my basketball sabbatical in person at this one.

Are all Creighton fans a**holes, or just the ones sitting around us? Classless group has of fans. Must be a CU thing.
They tend to be like that. It feels like Creighton has the Duke disease-- private school breeds an air of false superiority and looking down at everyone else, and the fake ones usually talk the loudest. Even if I and many of us would readily admit we're little brother, never as good as CU, they won't shut up. I hate it. You just want to see the proud humbled and to learn a lesson.
I was just shocked last night to find out a long time friend and coworker is a Creighton fan and went to games at one point... The meming and teasing was ruthless after the game tonight, and I was disappointed to find out he has this character defect, lol. Guess I shoulda seen that coming, he's a patriots fan, Maryland fan.... Yeah. He's a good guy but I'm having my doubts he's just not a bit of a mass-hole.

Yeah I have to agree with anyone who didn't like the Btn+ announcers. It's deplorable, they put the third string in for our games, maybe we don't deserve more... But they're the scrubs. The guy is alright but talks really quiet, but they paired the lowest voiced guy in the business with the shrillest loud lady color commentator ever. Just a bad match. Hurts your ears.

Seems like the new changes to PBA layout and traffic have improved things. I like it.

I think hes talking about the B1G+ announcer
Yeah, if that's true, yeah those guys suck

Yes. No. Bryce a real dude.
Yeah from the box score he's the only one hitting threes.
A lot of bad omens for big ten play. Still so early in the year have to hope they figure it out

This announcer might get T’d up by end of the game.
You're new here. If you're talking about Kent, you might want to close your mouth about the legend. Of course he's gonna be mad. Haven't been listening tonight myself tho
-
Couldn't make it tonight. Is it hero ball again? Slightly better?
-
Andre must've really pissed off the coaching staff so far in 2021 because this guy not seeing minutes is INSANITY to me. We obviously don't have the full story. Because it makes zero sense.

I've seen Husker teams in a discombobulated funk before. But last night was unique. I don't ever recall two guys just out there doing their own thing all night long.
I've seen pickup games at the rec that had more teamwork and less hero-ball than we saw last night. It was disgusting.
If this happens all year long, I won't renew my tickets. I'm not gonna shell out my hard-earned money to watch shitty basketball for the rest of my life. It's one thing to lose. It's another thing to play like that. And that was an embarrassment. It was an embarrassment even if we had pulled out a win. A win would not have mollified me. Even if we'd won, I'd still be pissed.
And Fred better get this situation under control, because there are a couple of players on the team who cannot co-exist with each other right now.
Yeah, killed it with this take, I totally agree. Do you think maybe the loss, as painful as it was, is a better thing for the team, since maybe it'll rattle some of these guys (verge esp), wake them up to the issue with hero ball? They probably already knew and know... But with college kids you gotta experience it first hand sometimes. Hope it worked and Fred's yelling the last few days did its work. Lol
