HUSKER FREAK Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Somebody has to step up on D and be consistent. Benny is much better off the bench, and tarin should be starting. He isn't perfect by any means but is definitely the best option. I think TP needs to work more on foot work and ball handling on D And Off instead of just shooting. We NEED QUICKNESS REALLY BAD!! Completely killing the offense and on breaking the press. Quote Link to comment

Completely killing the offense and on breaking the press. Petteway is a good driver, but he falls in love with his shot. At times so does Shields with his mid-range fadeaway.. problem is we dont have anyone crashing the boards. I love Rivers but the dude needs to crash the boards because he offers nothing offensively. Starting Lineup should be: Abraham Pitchford Shields Petteway T.Smith Rivers should be out there with Leslee and Shields/Petteway/T.Smith Benny needs to be out there with Pitch/Shields and Petteway. I dont like parker and Rivers being on the floor at the same time because they are not threats offensively and the Defense knows that. Petteway has a great shot, but he needs to work on passing the ball and setting himself up for open shots instead of forcing it. Pitchford doesnt want to play down low, so stop putting him at the 5.

Mavric Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Andre Hollins -- questioned about the team's 9-for-19 performance from the free-throw line in a 52-49 loss to the Huskers on Tuesday night -- cited something other than the team's mind-boggling inability to hit shots from the charity stripe, a yearlong problem. "They were loose rims and [Nebraska uses] Adidas balls, that has something to do with it," Hollins said. "But we've still got to knock those down to finish out the play." The senior guard stopped far short of accusing anyone of cheating. Although Nike and Anaconda Sports The Rock balls are the most popular, Adidas balls are not unusual or unexpected -- Nebraska is sponsored by Adidas. And even if the rims were a little more relaxed than usual, it would have also affected the Huskers, who shot just over 40 percent from the field and went 14-for-21 (66.7 percent) from the line. But it was an odd comment considering Minnesota (12-8; 1-6 in the Big Ten) has struggled to hit free throws all season. The Gophers' 63.9 percent free-throw overall shooting percentage ranks second-to-last in the Big Ten ahead of only Michigan State (63.2 percent). But in conference play, Minnesota has been even worse. The Spartans have shot an identical 63.2 so far while Minnesota has managed 61.2. Link Quote Link to comment
