AST. .TO. STL. BLK. PF Team Totals 15 -...... 376..795.. .....200 ..310.... 98... 238.. 1050.. 147.. 350... 497 226... 178 114 53.. 267 statistical differentials suggest this is a close game......NU has 1 more game than A&M but is behind A&M in most categories for measured effectiveness. But the stats do not tell the entire story, NU's schedule has been tougher than A&M's, period. NU's numbers are a reflection of the Teams style of play which is to slow the games tempo down. A&M plays sound defense, but have not played a sound defense. This is the key point from the above data which cant be seen in the raw numbers. Should be a fun B12 opener, looking forward to how Doc keeps Donald Sloans numbers below average.Or will he concentrate on breaking the averages of Holmes and Davis. With Roland out, this might make more sense. They have some solid shooters no size advantage to speak of especially compared to last year, the A&M bench is good, Walkup Harris Hibert and Lewis......Walkup & Harris the best all round contributors. Keys, Richardson on Defense, B Jones shooting off the bench, Ryan Anderson off & def..... Wild Cards....the play of our lineups with CSH in the game and who he gets minutes with...... Goal stat, beat A&M in rebounds......and points....lol Thoughts....not popular but IMO Holley continues to impress me, on all the msg boards he's kinda left out of the discussions, but his Rebounding is sorely needed. His leaping ability presents problems for opponents. His reb rate per minute played is 3.5, far better than anyone else.... and hes a near 50% shooter so far on FT and near in sooting. So Feed the 3's out to Bear, Galegos or Ryan and play into your strengths. 1st Half Hoping Diaz has a run... QHC needs to use his size, primarily in the 2nd half, when the running is slowed down a bit and tempo more akin to Docs way of playing. CSH welcome to the B12....do what ya can to help the team win... Sek & Jete....if your not hot....lay off, feed hotter shooters Richardson and R Andrsn or the post man, and play defence.

dawhuskerkc Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 2010 b12 Tx A&M 64-53 loss -9 NU TOTALS FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A OREB REB AST STL BLK TO PF PTS 20-54 7-22 6-9 7 25 16 7 2 13 27 53 37.0% 31.8% 66.7% AM made 25 of 33 Free throws. NU Collected 27 personal fouls 10 above the avg of last year. AM Has 39 rebounds. Rebounding deficiency of 14 on the offensive end, game set match… refs were a major factor.......the not so invisible hand......went so far as to attempt to insert a technical foul against NU on a CS check in violation, despite the game moving beyond the infraction....this is intent....and why basketball is what it is. CS good, Myles (4 min) and Q ( 0 minutes) our best rebounders, were essentially missing in action..... Quote Link to comment
schestev Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I really think we struggle to win more then 5 games in the big 12. We just aren't where we need to be. I guess there is always next year according to Shatel. Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I really think we struggle to win more then 5 games in the big 12. I agree....I hope we are both wrong though Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I think 5 wins is reachable. This is a young team and I think will get a lot better as the season comes along. Just need better shots on offense. I think the defense is shaping up pretty well though. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Seems like we've been saying "wait til next year" every year that Doc has been here, and while I really like Doc, I can't help wondering if the pieces will ever fall together. With that being said, I think we will surprise some people. P.S. Stanhardinger is really fun to watch, that guy will be a good player for us. Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 It's been a wait till next year approach for Neb b-ball for a decade at least now. Nothing new. Doc is a great coach, Nebraska basketball is hard to recruit for. Our scoring defense has been at the top of the big 12 under Doc...we've just always lacked on the offensive side of the ball.
