Huskers @ Wooden Legacy Tournament

It's tough to get into a flow when you don't run an offense.

Oh boy, look out. Mav taking shots at another Coach, again.

I don't know. I don't consider one guy with the ball dribbling around, while the other four players stand around an offense. Do you? It's been like this since Miles has been here, and it's really frustrating to watch.
I hate the team, but if you want to see what an offense looks like, watch Creighton.

maybe it's because you are the ones who don't understand basketball????

Offense is defined by what the team with the ball does with it.

So yes, they do have an offense. Have you guys played, coached or watched basketball before?

You obviously don't watch a ton of nebrasketball now do ya Matty???
There have been flow issues because of lack of offensive movement since miles got here.

Why do you think you get to b!^@h about Jacobson jacking up 3s?? Not a lot of options when the ball is in your hands and the shot clock has been bled dry by dribbling guards

PS MJ's 3's came on a fast break with 27 seconds on shot clock and 7 seconds on shot clock. Thanks for playing though.

So once again when one or two guys dribble down the shot clock while all others don't move without the ball, how is this offense defined???

Virginia Tech isn't a slouch defensively. They did a good job plugging the paint, that Zeday kid was a beast. The UCLA game was night and day difference between halves, when they finally started driving and getting inside. The Dayton and UCLA games they out scored their opponents in the paint, which is why they made the game competitive. They have fits when a D goes zone and have a hard time working the ball inside. The last 5-7min of the UCLA game they showed they couldn't get inside or shoot out of the zone. VT did it to them all game.

All in all, it was a positive showing for the team, but they have a lot to work on. I'm a little afraid of tomorrow's game against Clemson, 4 games in 6 days and flying coast to coast.

I believe Miles runs a dribble-drive oriented offense.

VT was shutting down the drive game.

Even if he ran a dribble-drive offense, the other players without the ball should be moving, screening, cutting. Not just standing around.

Another thing to consider is that Buzz is a much better coach. He is probably a top 30 coach in the nation...give or take.

That's the thing with a dribble-drive offense, you don't actually do that very much. You do actually stand outside the perimeter as a kick out guy. Now there are variations where players do dive to the basketball, but more as a secondary option. Now of course, you always have a guy in the post opposite of the basketball, but also a secondary option.

 

[Mavric]

I will give you this, we have the "dribble" part of that offense down.

This is the dumbest offense to run without super skilled players, and great outside shooting. Nebraska has neither.

 

[ScottyIce]

Not true.

Watson and Webster were born for dribble drive offenses. (Well Webster has developed to do it at least, Watson was born to drive to the rack and create shots). Early indications are that Roby is also built to do it.

Now, Morrow, Jordy and Jacobson fit the mold of the post just hanging out and gobbling up boards and put backs.

Gill and McVeigh are supposed to be the outside threats. They need to be for this offense to work.

So which is it? Are we supposed to pair Watson and Webster with three point bombers or guys hanging out in the lane?

A dribble drive offense consists of 1 post supposed to stay inside. 4 slashers who can preferably shoot from the outside as well. Generally your worst driver of the bunch stays on perimeter for as long as possible.

 

[Igetbored216]

According to you, there should be four slashers (can dribble, drive), who ideally can shoot from outside.

Three point % through six games: Webster is 45%, Watson is 33%, McVeigh is 33%, Jacobson is 0%, Gill is 31%, Roby is 25%, Horne is 25%,and Taylor is 0%.

Webster and Watson are the two that can drive the ball. Who do you feel comfortable taking numerous outside shots per game?

Again, if you want to see an actual offense operate and put up points, watch Creighton.
