Husker hoops game
- Thread starter PCastro
- Start date
I didn't watch the first half last night, but Cam had 0 points at halftime and a couple of turnovers. Second half started and he jacked up a three, missed, got the ball back, dribbled into the paint and put up a horrible running shot just to try to get on the board. Hoiberg pulled him immediately after that. I am guessing they want him to operate within the flow of their offense to get shots instead of just going iso-ball and trying to dribble through 2-3 defenders.
Down 31-24 with 6 mins. We are perfect from line and shooting 50%. How are we down!! Turnovers and rebounding once again it Appears.
Defense looked soft with poor effort from what I watched last night. Also could be fatigue from playing so many games.
down 35-33 at half. Winning two out of three in this tourney would be amazing. I really thought we'd be looking at 5-6 wins all season. We're basically starting from scratch as a program this year.

Now up 6 with 9 left. Maybe in should not gave out money on south Florida!!!
Watched a little bit of ISU versus Michigan today. Man Jacobsen would look good in our lineup right now. He would have graduated last year if he had stayed but he's a pretty good player for ISU. Michigan has some size that we won't be able to handle.
One play I saw was Jacobsen doing a nice little drop step baby hook with his left hand over Michigan's 7 footer. The kid played pretty good D and was hustling as usual. Hoiberg just said that USF took 21 more shots than us. A 6-9 to 6-10 hustle rebounder like Jacobsen would help us immensely right now.
We shot 55% from the field vs. their 39%... Free throws were 74%, which is far above our average.
He would've been a senior last year, and the Huskers probably make the tournament the last two seasons with Jacobsen and Morrow.
But yes, he would look great in a Husker uniform now.
signing a 6-1 sharp shooter wont help with rebounding but I guess you cant rebound a made shot

I'm still not sure why he left NU. I have a hunch that there wasn't great chemistry between Morrow, Jacobsen and the some of the guys who followed them. Obviously Miles played a role in that.
I believe in Hoiberg, put this is kind of a head-scratcher. He might be a good outside shooter, but nobody plays defense in JUCO. It won't be easy for a 6-1 guard to get his shot off in the Big Ten. We desperately need big dudes who can rebound and defend.
You mean:
- Derrick Walker, 6-8, 235 (Eligible in 2020-21)
- Shamiel Stevenson, 6-6, 245 (Eligible in 2020-21)
- Dalano Banton, 6-8, 195 (Eligible in 2020-21)
Stevenson averaged 4.4 boards per game as a freshman at Pitt.
Walker averaged 1.7 boards per game as a part-time player at Tennessee.
There's also 6-6, 190-pound Akol Arop, who averaged 11 boards per game at C. Prep last year. He may not play much more this year as the coaches likely are redshirting him so he's bigger and stronger for the next four years.
In the meantime, enjoy how comically bad we are at rebounding, and be amazed at how we can win even a single game with a 6-foot-7, barely 17-year-old Frenchman starting in the middle.
