I totally agree, this half-assed reset every year under Hoiberg is the definition of failure. I choose to place some thought (not hope) towards the idea that maybe Hoiberg finally has some semblance of a plan or an identity. But I doubt it. Anyway, he's coming back so we're stuck with him.
Keita is pretty slow and that game was played at a furious pace. I think that would have been a bad matchup for him.
Good deal. I’m happy to be playing well enough for the majority of our fans to want to keep him.
There were plenty of reasons Keita could have struggled against Wisconsin too, but he didn’t. Time to inject some player development into the program and allow the young guys to show if they belong or not. It’s not like anyone remembers if you finished 11th instead of 10th.
I think they'll find a way to go 2-2, but admittedly that's an optimistic outlook.
Unless the reason he’s looked slow is that he’s not healthy. It’s kind of silly IMO to criticize not playing him given the way we played in that game. As I said, I don’t think the way Rutgers played fit Keita’s skills very well.
Rutgers ranks 217th in the nation in possessions per game while the Huskers are #225. While that may be a fast-paced matchup compared to Wisconsin (342), it doesn't exactly scream "up-tempo lineups only."
no different than football
Regardless of how many possessions there were their pressing and trapping meant we needed people on the floor who could move. The tempo had more to with ball movement and traps than it did how quickly each team got shots off.
