Just like last year, we have no offense

 

The difference is the movement and the passing with a purpose though. It's gonna get there but you must give it time. It also helps once you get more talent. I don't think it wise to doubt mr miles. He'll get it done.

Last year, and years before, we would literally pass the ball to eachother at the top of the key and then jack up a 3 pointer with 2 seconds left on the clock. That's not the case here

Good win- these guys are mutts, but who doesn't like a mutt

[Husker John]

We need lots of work, but we got a win with good effort. Coach Miles is a good choice....

[Lil' Red]

It wasn't pretty but we got the win. We actually played pretty well most of the game until we went stagnant towards the end.

[FriendlyLurker2007]

damn, sounds like a crazy finish....i could not stay awake to save my life...glad they won tho

[Comish]

Good win, but hate they had to just hang on instead of creating some action by driving to the rim and getting some fouls........

 

Gallegoes is an enigma. The first half he looks like the new and improved and confident Ray...........moving to his left, elevating and nailing sweet jumpers. Then the second half he looks more like the Reyes he was two years ago......i.e. doubtful, lacking confidence and tentative. But I'll take his overall game because we need scoring. Now we just need Talley to pick up the slack. A single point from your best pure shooter won't cut it.

Was at the game last night and noticed a few things.

 

Ubel has some strength and moves offensively.. nice touch on his ball and a good sense of where the hoop is. That being said, he was god awful on defense. He got beat on the pick/roll all night and while some of that is on the help defense, when he plays the 5... we STRUGGLE!

 

Almeida- Slow.. sluggish.. no touch on his shot--that being said, he takes up space and dominates people down low-- I think the touch will come and so will his lungs as the season moves on. He needs reps and by the end of the season, i could see him playing 27-30 minutes a game and make a difference

 

Gallegos- The kid shot well.. He wont be like Bo Spencer where he can shoot in peoples face, but if he has space and with the flubber in his shoes, he can give us 10-12 points a night.

 

Talley- Was quiet offensivley, but is clearly one of the leaders of this team.

 

Rivers-- I dont think he is a D1 guy... He is lanky, but gets pushed around and doesnt seem to have much/if any touch on his shots.

 

Parker- He is quick--looks lost at times, but shows moments where he will be like a Cookie Miller-- he will be a good player with his quickness.

 

Vucetic- He looks smaller than expected.... not sure if I have high hopes on this kid to do much this season.

 

 

Coach Miles lets these boys play and that is where you see the old Doc offense. Right now our offense doesnt have any playmakers... it has a guy who can sit in the block and post up on people(Ubel/Almeida)

 

 

Lets be honest, this team is VERY far away from competing.

 

The future is bright with guys like: Biggs, Fuller, Hawkins, Webster, Petteway, Pitchford,Shields(he will play this year when healthy)

 

LEts be honest.. this year is a throw away year.. which sucks for guys like: Almeida, Talley, Ubel.

 

 

The fact that Menke, Peltz, Tyrance(HE WAS LOST LAST NIGHT) shows that this team is hurting.. but we got skill on its way.

 

This team will win 2-3 games in the B1G this year... next year, we will struggle without having a true BIG down low, but once we get that.. future is bright!

Pretty well sums it up..........

 

One point on Almeida ..............he is never going to get a call. He is not fluid (understatement) and does commit some foolish fouls. However when opponents run into him and bounce off, the refs almost laugh about it.

 

Just because they run into a wall and the wall does not go down, it doesn't mitigate the fact that are charging. The refs seem to believe that by NOT calling the block it makes everything OK.

Kind of confused by that statement.. That was the last thing Doc's offense did last year.. We ran a slow offense which was very pass oriented, normally letting the clock bleed till around 10 seconds or so then started actually trying to put the ball towards the vicinity of the rim. Normally that ended in Spencer chucking up a fade away 20footer, not a very effective offense.

I meant when they were able to do whatever they pleased.. they seemed to fall back in to some old Doc habits... Doc always had them run his offense.. never let them do what they wanted.

 

 

My statement was worded poorly.

Nice job by the Huskers! Way to go!
