- Lots of fouls means lots of Peltz and Tyrance. Tyrance especially really looked like a walk-on at times. Game looked to be moving pretty fast for him. - Ubel is playing pretty well, like a senior should. His back to back buckets after Valpo had cut it to 7 were big. - Not a lot of people believe in Almedia. I thought he played pretty well. He's a pretty solid shot blocker, rotated well on defense and made some really nice passes out of the double team. He just needs to convert. I think that will come, he's got the ability. - Ray looks so much better than he did his sophomore year. He's always had the leaping ability, we saw some of that, now he's knocking down shots confidently. - I didn't know what to expect from this team defensively this year. They seemed to have a good plan vs. Valpo. - Offensively, I'm not sure they still know what they're doing, but they certainly move around a lot more, which is good. We'll see if they can turn it into something effective. Still haven't quite learned how to play vs. a zone. - I really like the maturation we're seeing from Rivers. Will be a vital factor for this team if they want to exceed any expectations. - Parker's gonna be a pretty solid player. - Got a string of a empty possessions in the 2nd half that let Valpo back into the game. - Gotta like the intensity this team plays with. I was afraid they would let Valpo back in the game after they cut the lead to 7, but they never did. - How much of Valpo's shooting woes were an off shooting night and how much was Nebraska's defense? I don't know. But Valpo had very few uncontested looks. I think that let them get beat of the dribble a few times more than I expected, respecting the three. - For as much as Valpo is known for their shooting, I thought they'd shoot free throws better. - NU with another dry spell. No bueno. Can't keep doing that. For all the talk about how good Valpo was, gotta give Nebraska their due for having a good plan to shut them down and protecting the home court. Good win for Nebraska, lots of work still to do. This post has been promoted to an article
