Nebrasketball @ Maryland

Sam Hoiberg catching the flow as a shooter is very unexpected. Sad to see the same sorry refs getting in the way again, seems to be the theme again this year. Not surprising why the "strong" Big Ten teams struggle once the tournament starts.

 
Under 4 first half and Sam is the only one playing on offense outside of the first 4 minutes where Maryland decided to not guard Walker in the paint. Through two games, you gotta ask why Sam wasn't taking either Wilcher or Keisei's minutes earlier in the year.

 
Walker struggles against athletic centers.   He needs them white & slow.  Too mant TOs the last 2 games. 
So far, he seems to be doing ok given all that they're asking him to do (14 pts, 6 rebounds against 3 turnovers). Maryland shooting perfect at the line doesn't help, nor does the free throw discrepancy 15 attempts to a single attempt for us.

He had 5 TO last game.  He is trying to do too much. He needs to let the game come to him, like the last 2 buckets.

Yes, he also handles the ball more than almost any big in the conference. It isn't pretty, but he is incredibly effective given that he's an undersized center asked to do so much for us. That said, I do agree that he could benefit by not forcing so many risky passes... which goes for everybody on our side.

 
Another brick laying game from 3 land. Year 10 of this crap.  Why can’t this team find one shooter. My god 
We shot 53% from the field. That’s not bad. 
 

However, they had 10 offensive rebounds to our two. 
 

They had 22 fast break points to our 4. 
 

our shooting percentage was better ….except free throws. Should have had at least 3 more points from there.
