I have no idea

Love the tempo so far

 

[Skerpokes]

Field goal percentage needs work, free throws need work, but overall I like the tempo, and ball handling by multiple players on the court.

They’ve got a seven footer too and I still think we are handling our own on rebounds.

Not gonna overreact one way or the other though to the first game of the season against a Big West Conference.

However if they lose, Fire Hoiberg

 

[antone112]

Pretty sloppy so far. They were getting to the hoop early on. Missing open jumpers at the moment. But it just feels like they are actually running offensive sets. What a change that is.

 

[tometom]

Yes, pretty much agree. Offense could use more movement from what I've seen. Need to make the defenders move more. Too much standing around.

No post presence is going to be a huge problem.

Losing by 15 to a Big West team that won 10 games last year

 

[Skerpokes]

This is gonna be a bad loss come selection time and we are on the bubble

 

[HuskerPower52]

Go team go

 

[Skerpokes]

This year could be painful

New team, new coach, poor performance - is this a football thread??

 

[Skerpokes]

God hates Nebraska. It’s official

i feel like Hoiberg is going to need to push the issue this year and go full court press. I didn't count how many guys he was playing but some were saying he was going 9 deep, so might as well try and out run everyone. and he needs more movement in the offense to try and make defenses work. it literally looked like Miles offense half the time, too many guys standing around.

Hoiberg was just trying to be vanilla with his offense and not put anything on tape for other teams to scout. Saving the good stuff for conference play......

Yep. There are 20 regular season conference games. Just enough to get into the Big Dance.

I didn't expect a loss, but I'm not too terribly shocked. To many new faces on the roster learning a new system and style of ball. It's gonna take some time to get it figured out.
