The sheer balance between our roster in scoring / focus on assisting and the extra pass... I LOVE it. Gimme more. You're probably not getting hero ball much this year which is satisfying as all hell. teddy came through tonight, he's a player I already love and adopt as our nebraska son, I feel like he's the glue guy and soon to be fan favorite. Frustrating sometimes but the kid has no fear, his confidence is important on a nebraska program that has history of weak willed surrender. Your point is well taken; the team simply has enough talent and a system in place now to pass it around and let "whoever offense" reign supreme. Balanced scoring won't win wooden awards, but it'll win a lotta ball games and with defensibe intensity will not only give you a shot in every game, but wins trophies.

Yep thor is super talented and an offensive piece we can use esp when guys are out with foul trouble or with second wave guys. The thing is, he needs to get those offensive reps now so he can learn to carry the offense a bit when we need him late in games. I like his flashes I've seen

Yeah, that was going through my head too, I heard the same thing, that the conference teams use the same sound file. I agree with the conf that there needs to be regulation on sound levels, but that doesn't mean then need the same file... Why don't they mix a lot of those home crowd noises? We have so many talented people in the program who could mix this up with some work. They could still then limit the volume to a level

Great idea here.

C'mon on husker program... Please Please do something about that horrible shrill piped in crowd noise. I KNOW with all our great crowds + the big ten conference that there's a better sound file floating out there available. Do better.

good news is that the scoring... and I hope its getting closer to being relevant and useful in the Big ten play... is getting there, quickly. a lot of things to like from yesterday and today as well. that scoring will help legitimize the small game we seem to be hoiberging in our gameplan. need that big guy though still, like you say norm. thats my "expert" opinion, fwiw. lol

cant even be mad at that shot, that lil dude fkin nailed it with a rainbow arc over banton's fingers. think it even dribbled off delano's finger a bit. bow and leave. learning game. damn. cant keep taking losses as "experience" though.

oof.

yeah, I agree. although for some stretches of the second half, mcneese played some really solid lockdown defense, believe it or not. adversity helps growth, and tomorrow with nevada gives us (according to Kenpom) an even matchup challenge.

Did a little light edit work for the roster this year. Pretty excited to see them on the court. We have a thing for guys with long names, whoo!

...is there a more German- sounding name? Love what I've been able to dig up on him on tape so far. The kid is promising.

Yeah, I think we'll be fine and score points regardless, which by itself is a huge sigh of relief for husker fans after the last few years. And we finally have some size, although its swiss army size (as fred likes to build his teams; he finally has the construction he likes[and I like]) and not 7 footers. The difference between being good and Great this year will hinge on how we attack in the half court and scheme teams... because I think most of the time we will have the fast break on lock down. damn, I cant wait to see that first teddy-delano-trey fast break!!

Super cool. This ticks a lot of stat dork boxes for me and combines with my gamer as well. I remember seeing a lot of things done like this in the past couple years in games like 2k and ncaa 14, amongst others. Love it. What else they gonna do? Unless you have your own hoop you arent getting basketball training done anyway, it's just some weight and cardio.

Holy crap, that picture! At times in this nightmare year things feel deja vu to another era and another pandemic, and no more so illustrated than in this picture, it seems like it could be taken today if people were ballsy /stupid but also wearing masks completely, as if for a stunt (?)

This roster is so exciting, I'm hoping that we're seeing the roster building that coach fred is known for. The irony is that if we do get basketball, we may see one of our better teams in recent years, but not in person.

I also think that the difficulty presented in basketball in keeping it safe indoors, and testing teams every day to keep teams from spreading it is critical. Have no doubt it could work but you have to be very disciplined, which I have little faith in America in that regard, lol. Unfortunate and I'll believe until we prove it's not possible... but you have to be tedious in your attention to detail and sterile environments, etc

Yeah, and even with outdoor I think it's becoming obvious that if we arent on a grand death pact, all sports in this cursed nation are likely going to either be cancelled (not likely here) or follow some European models like in Germany where there are no fans in stands, and more creative solutions for fan representation are explored. I dont mind empty stands if they can pump noise in and TV is still not a horrible experience; big soccer fan and it has worked out just fine (even if a bit depressing); I'm just curious if it's possible in football. Its definitely possible in basketball if soccer did it, and being inside I'm almost 100% sure fans isnt happening, that's just not safe esp with new news on how its aerosolized now Have to be smart and I do trust our university, they're wise in most of these public health decisions

Yes. The toughest survive, and Nebraska and Wisconsin kids trump Ohio kids. We end up winning an unexpected big ten title. Hows that for a storyline? Lol

This is amazing. I'm so humbled to witness the kindness of strangers and humanity when I see things like this. The testimony of that coach on the GoFundMe page is just so moving. Glad hes getting some support, because that... that is a horrific string of bad luck in his life. Makes one wonder why the worst sh** has to happen to the best people amongst humanity? The age old pondering. Edit: updated total so far, 27k out of 30. I'm sure 30 is just a number they thought would help, so glad to see the love flowing in. Hope someone can do more than money for him too with all this crap that's hit him. The personalization of what 2020 has done to the human race, lol

great to hear from you. I like this philosophy / change in lifestyle. Social media honestly should be so much more limited in how much time it gets, people care so much and in reality, it's all stupid and not real public favor. with exceptions, of course. I enjoy NBA twitter, but it's very limited ofc. I think everyone I know quit using facebook a few years ago, although most of us still have accounts. It seems scary to cut off entirely, but I'll be doing that with facebook in the next couple days. I'm 28 for context. Always good to remind ourselves that even on this site we have a diversity of ages and generations represented. Love this forum, you made a good choice keeping us on the shortlist ;)

deleted the app and also prepping to delete my fb account here soon. Too much social media is INCREDIBLY toxic to our daily mental health. only now starting to realize how bad it is

Great reaction by the boys. Next year though, really need to intensively practice and workshop free throws. Honestly 50% sure whether or not it's a nebrasketball curse that's causing this, or just poor tradition or practice. I'm SURE they practice this, but how does anything explain how we're so terrible at the line???? #1 frustrating thing for husker fans(at least a decade in now)
