Is there a post game press conference?

Why can’t we have nice things?

I'd love to ask Wilcher why on free throws he literally just stands in place. Makes zero effort to rebound.

Well, that tall kid with the glasses probably won't help much this year.  Fred is going to be stuck playing about 6 guys.

Was at the game. 

 

Huskers may be the worst rebounding team in the country.  Did anyone hear if Eduardo Andre was injured?  He may not help much on offense, but at least he can get rebounds and he didn't play.

 

If the pick & roll doesn't work, they are lost on offense.  Western Illinois covered the roll and didn't come off shooters so Verge just tried to do everything himself.

 

If both Verge & Trey are off the floor, the entire offense comes to a stop.  I think that was something we all saw in the Colorado exhibition.

Verge is a big time player but the issues with him, even since HS, was that he will play how he wants to play.  I really think that Fred is the type of coach that can get him to really buy in but maybe Verge just needs that badass/hardass type coach instead.

I was at the game too.  I will say this about Verge- he should lead the B10 in dribbling if nothing else.  Sad sad game to watch to the bitter end.

This is funny!

[teachercd]

Teams will sag off Verge and he will have a 35 point night.

[Hagg]

Gawd.  17 point fave at home drops it.  What's with the next-to-nothing board work?

So, we have a team of good players, but they want to be the hot dog hero with the monster dunk and not do the hard work (rebounding and defense) to win.

 

Does that sum it up?

Maybe, I am not sure.  Fred puts more stock into offense than defense, which is fine.  But you better make sure you are hitting a high % of your shots.

Bryce and Verge looked like they wanted to get theirs, so they could stuff the stat sheet for an NBA look. They'll probably be "on" enough to win us 10-15 games. Then they'll leave, and we will look for the next two transfers that want a green light for 20+ shot attempts.

I take back every good thing I said about this team during the offseason.
