Comish Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Smiles commented that today's game is "winnable". And while it's regrettable that he should even have to point that out, he is correct. This is one of those teams that, because of their style of play, we should be able to hang with. They aren't going to dazzle us with athletisicm. They aren't going to run up and down the floor. They ARE going to grind and execute and hustle. No reason we can't do those things as well. Probably going to come down to whether or not they hit their 3's. First to 40 has a great shot at a W.

flatwaterfan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Personally I don't know how well we match up with their big guys and don't have a good feeling about this game. It helps that it's in Lincoln. Our guys are such streaky shooters anything is possible. Coach Miles is a pretty straight talker so that does give me a little hope. If we win this we will be better than I thought. Players need to get after it! I agree that on paper it looks to be low scoring. Quote Link to comment
Huskball Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think it's can be a win if Almeida plays, even if it is in limited minutes. I don't think we can handle their physical big guys for a full game without him. Ubel will certainly be in foul trouble without him. Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Exactly. That's what I am worried about. Ubel getting in foul trouble. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 We've always got some fouls to waste with Sergei and Kurkoski. Maybe just to eat some minutes and give Ubel some breathing time. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Winnable, still underdogs though. We are going to have to make shots today, because their size is going to make rebounding really tough. My bold prediction for the game is that Sergej gets 10 pts. Quote Link to comment

Andre is out so he will get some good PT today. I'd rather him have 10 rebounds than 10 points Quote Link to comment

Well I'd say that's a problem if a 7 footer with 25 minutes if PT can't grab 10 rebounds... Quote Link to comment

He is just way too skinny and is more of a midrange scorer than most 7 footers. There is a reason he has 6 total mins this season, defense and rebounding aren't his strong suits. He can score though.

Omaha-Husker Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 11-8 Wiscy with under 8 mins left in the half. Ugly. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ubel with a quick 5 points! Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 19-19 at half. Nebraska only went 6 deep, I hope our starters have the energy to stick in this game for another 20 mins. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 19-19 at the half. Not sure if I can take much more of this... Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Wow. We are doing better than I thought! We are right there. Shields is a rebounding machine. It's all about want-to and reading the shot! Quote Link to comment
