Why the heck hasn't he played all year? First hit a nice hook shot then a legit 18 foot fade away over his defender.
Not a top ten team? They went toe to toe with Duke IN Cameron and couldn't hit a shot vs Kansas in the second half. Two very good team early in the season. I think they are still trying to figure themselves out but at this point they can play with almost anyone in the country because they play great defense. Saying that....that really isn't the reason why I came to this thread...Observations: We actually did better than I thought. I figured a 40 pt difference. That's the key...low expectations.
I don't think OSU is a top 10 team. They are top 20. Thomas is really really good. There were 3 really blatant travels that just leaves me shaking my head. Our spacing was good. Our shot selection, defense and hustle not so good. I agree we could use Webster, Hawkins, Fuller, Petteway, Pitchford and Biggs!!!! And Atewe!!!!!(hint, hint)
If you were curious according to ESPN recruiting rankings Nebraska landed the #19 SF, #26 SG and #29 PG this class. Not impressive for a place like OSU, but that group is considered the highest ranked bunch I can ever remember.Not a top ten team?

I think Jimmy Jackson had it right during the post game. Nebraska really needs to land a couple top 50 basketball players that are dynamic. It only takes a couple guys to change your program in basketball. Hopefully for Nebraska they can use their new facility to land a couple guys like that.
I believe they were trying to redshirt him. To me, the fact that they pulled the "shirt" with just a few minutes left in this blowout says Almeida has an injury worse than we hoped.

He played 1 min in the first game of the year and 1 min against Creighton and 4 mins tonight. I have no idea what the RS requirements are so I don't know if minimal appearances would of mattered.
