Mavric Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Which is to say, there are plenty of players out there equally deserving of our attention, players that we probably forgot in the abyss from March until September but players that we will probably be saying, ‘Oh yeah,’ about come January or so. Terran Petteway is one of those players. The guard didn’t do much, well, besides putting Nebraska basketball on the map, which is only slightly less difficult than putting Kansas football on the map. Petteway averaged 18.1 points per game overall, and 18.6 in Big Ten play to lead the conference in scoring. He also led the Cornhuskers to their first NCAA Tournament since 1998, a 19-13 overall record and 11-7 mark in the league. Thanks to his social media-friendly coach and his own free-spirited look (one colleague took to calling Petteway the Biblical shepherd), Petteway was a zero-to-50-in-a-month star last season. But along came a loss to Baylor in the tourney and the offseason. So now if you say the name Terran Petteway, it’s an ‘Oh right, him,’ response. We get it. Nebraska and basketball still don’t roll off the tongue, so it’s reasonable that perhaps Petteway could get lost in the shuffle. Link Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm fine with him lost in the shuffle this time of year. By the end of non-con, he should be back on everyone's radar. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Never forget! As much as I want his to get the attention he deserves.. I almost don't want him to so he can use it as motivation Quote Link to comment
