KansasHusker Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Just a heads up for everyone, they play at 1:00 today central I believe at ASU with ASU ranked at #18. Will be tough, but a huge opportunity early in the season. Quote Link to comment

Huskers Forever Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I love Doc, but he is going to have a hard time bringing in the fans with that kind of ugly basketball. I did not watch it all, but it seems like all the offense does is pass the ball around the perimiter and shoot threes. All D and no O= boring. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 The d looked very good today and just held Harden to 20 which was great but our shot selection today was not looking great. Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I love Doc, but he is going to have a hard time bringing in the fans with that kind of ugly basketball. I did not watch it all, but it seems like all the offense does is pass the ball around the perimiter and shoot threes. All D and no O= boring. We have no big men. Of course its going to be ugly basketball when we play a ranked team on the road. What do you expect, when we are forced to play 5 guard sets? Have more confidence in Doc. Balham who is 6-8 has knees of a 70 year-old man and can't play more than 15 min and he's lucky to even get in a game this year. Chapman is 6-9 and is finally recovering from his injury. For our lack of size, our defense is great and the numbers show that. I don't think fan support is the first thing on Doc's mind right now, he has a mess trying to find someone that can play inside. We lost Maric, so theres obviously a huge dropoff, but this group of players are a lot better than you're giving them credit for. For the record, ASU should not be ranked, they are not that good of a team. They were contained by us for the most part and if our small team and expose them like that, they are in for a long season.

All D and no O= boring. chances of anyone being able to build a solid program in Lincoln with out playing a "boring" type of basketball is not very good. this is the big 12. Quote Link to comment
GI56 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 As Doc said- you live by the jump shot, you die by the jump shot. Few buckets at the basket today. Quote Link to comment

Bennett showed it works there, and then at Wash U, and now Bo Ryan is at UW winning Big Ten titles with all D no O. As much as I hate it, it wins games, so its hard to argue with.

Well if we win, I guess I can't complain. Danny Nee's teams in the early 90's sure were fun to watch though. Doc just needs a go to guy, who can shoot and take it to the hole. Quote Link to comment
