Huskball Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 This is good news! Just for context, Iowa State was picked 9th in the 10 team Big 12 pre-season poll. I do think they will finish higher than that though. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 They were probably picked the same in football too. i know both teams are supposed to be not good. But, it’s nice to see they beat two power 5 conference teams. Then again, these are a lot like preseason baseball. Coaches can be playing players or doing things in games to experiment just to see what works with their team. But hey, at least we are winning them. Im ready for the season to start.

teachercd Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I am telling you...Miles is going to have a good year. 18 wins and on the bubble watch late in the season. Quote Link to comment

I'm not too surprised they put up 90. Like you said it was a scrimmage & Miles has said they want to play faster this year. They also had 48 at the half against Mississippi St then went ice cold and had a bunch of turnovers. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Looks like redshirts are coming for Akenten and Thor: http://www.omaha.com/huskers/mens-basketball/games-haven-t-counted-but-good-vibes-are-building-for/article_aa830121-5681-5706-a7b2-5d9a7b37587e.html Quote The Husker staff is meeting this week to discuss redshirting true freshman wings Nana Akenten and Thor Thorbjarnarson. Akenten didn’t play in either exhibition, and Thorbjarnarson played less than a minute against Iowa State. “We’re already playing 10 or 11 guys,’’ Miles said. “It’s just hard to get a 12th guy in there. “Nana has loads of talent, but has farther to go than the rest of the guys just in terms of team defense and acclimation and some ball-handling. He can shoot it and is as athletic as anybody. It’s a matter of time for him.’’Miles said any redshirt discussion with a player is open-ended. “Some guys need the idea that they are going to play,’’ he said. “Some don’t do so well in a redshirt. So we have to talk to them honestly about their expectations.’’ 1 Quote Link to comment
