11 wins in a row......Pros and Cons of ISU game

[Jack_John_Mark]

I will do the pros and cons for the basketball games since I am probably the biggest fool of a basketball fan here.......as well as the biggest homer

Pros

We are 1-0 in conference play.
We came from behind in the final minutes to pull this win off.
We are 13-2.
We've won 11 games in a row.
We continue to play outstanding defense, holding a top ranked offense to only 62 points.
We won the game without one of our key starters (Brandon Richardson).
The team is the most confident I have seen them ever as a Doc Sadler coached team.
We only had 7 turnovers!!!!
We won despite shooting like shit, which is something we're going to have to do this season.
We outrebounded, outassisted, outstole, outblocked, just simply outhearted ISU......we just didn't make the shots they made.


Cons

We blew a 12 point lead early in the 2nd half.
We stalled on offense for much of the second half.
It seems like we MUST HAVE Jeter on the floor at all times.
We need to find Jeter-like leadership out of more players.
That is about all I can say, because we flat outplayed ISU, just need to hit more shots.





13-2, Nebraska Cornhuskers, 1-0 in the Big 12

Doom is the biggest homer on SportsHoopla.

To be fair, I am supporting a team which hasn't made it to the NCAA tourney since 1998.........and also had 2 conference wins last season

Another pro.........Bo Pelini was at the game. I like when he goes to the game.......I know the players have said before they like it when comes, gives them a little extra motivation to play good defense. Might sound stupid, but they did say that last year

you forgot the biggest con: Nebraska still sucks at basketball.

Well, the way I see it, we could make a Con thread for every day leading up to next football season.........the only thing it would consist of is "Shawn Watson is coming back."...........but we wouldn't be able to add many Pros.

Sometimes not adding any pros happens. I know it happened at least once this year.



Look at it this way for a "Pro", you got me to respond to a basketball thread.
