I only watched the 2nd half, but I didn’t like their energy. They need to play with more toughness.

EDIT:  Maybe they had an off night and were tired in the 2nd half after playing nearly the entire game. Palmer played well against Iowa, especially with his defensive energy.  I just hope Palmer and Cope just don’t pack it in for the remainder of the year.

I liked him, but Morrow doesn’t play much for Marquette, and he was always a bit of a tweener for the Big Ten.  Jacobson is playing a lot for Iowa State and doing very well (stats wise). He would give NU more depth, but wouldn’t be starting over Copeland or Roby. Miles probably told Jacobson that before last year, which led to his transfer. 

 
Well ... at least we didn't get out-rebounded as badly as we did last game.

It was worse.

But seriously.  We shot 49% from the floor and 39% on 3s - both above our season averages - and eeked out a win against the B1G cellar-dweller.

At home.

And I don't think playing four guys 38+ minutes is going to work well over 16 more B1G games.

I think Jacobson would be starting, with Allen sliding out:

Watson

Palmer

Copeland

Roby

Jacobson

To be fair, Morrow gets 14 minutes for a ranked team.  At 6.1 ppg and 4.4 rpg (his current numbers), he'd be our sixth-leading scorer and third-leading rebounder.  He averaged 9.4 ppg and 7.5 rpg his last year here (23 mpg) which would be our fifth-leading scorer and leading rebounder.  So I think he could be helping us out, even if it was just in the 17-18 mpg range.

Jacobson is the leading rebounder and second-leading scorer for a ranked team despite getting the fifth-most minutes.  Not too shabby.

 
Definitely an ugly win but it still counts. Hopefully this game was a way to blow out the cobwebs and learn from. Get a good game from everyone and we could steal a W at Indiana.
