He could fit somewhere as a role player I would think. He's sneaky good when he is on. If Banton and McGowans can do it I would Imagine Brice can.

Frankly I love the kid... clutch, team oriented, can defend

He's a calm and cool character. Not sure what was going on over that 6 game stretch, regardless the team plays with a lot more confidence when Brice is clicking.

Fred figured out that during the six game losing streak that Brice was standing out on the wing too much and not utilizing his skills. Rollie was out at the point too often with the ball in his hands not penetrating enough nor was he a 3 pt. threat. Now against man-to-man defenses Fred wants Brice with the ball in his hands to either penetrate to the rim, hit the 3 over the top because he has the length to get off the perimeter shot. Plus his passing abilities on our big's pick and rolls and other teammates back cuts to the rim have been really effective. Let's hope those things keep working over the next 8 conference games to get us in the NCAA.

Spot on analysis!

Can't believe I turned the channel at the half.

Well done by the Huskers! Loved hearing the commentators stumble over Huskers/Huskies.

Hope the team makes it out of town ok - crazy snow in Seattle for the 2nd day in the row and lots of cancelations.

It just feels like a night and day change. When things are working the offense is in motion and when it's not working everyone (offense and defense) is just standing basically in one spot watching Rollie dribble around. I'm not a basketball expert but at times I'm yelling at the TV "SOMEONE MOVE!"

Not sure about Brice in the NBA. On the one hand it's hard to say no, but on the other hand his size and skills are a dime a dozen at that level.

More of a euro/asia player if he wants to continue his career

Nothing wrong w that

I think he’ll have to play 1 mostly in the NBA. Don’t think he’s a starter, but probably good enough to back up the 1 or 2.

Brice is a way, way, way better scorer than Banton and McGowans. He can actually shoot the 3, is one of the best midrange shooters we have seen in a while, and can drive and finish at the rim. I don't think he has the measurables of those guys, but he is a significantly better scorer than them. The best part is he takes good shots. McGowans took some of the worst shots imaginable when he was here. Banton was a terrible 3-point shooter during his time as a Husker. I'm honestly shocked both of those guys are still in the NBA. Just goes to show how valuable being a 6'7" athlete is.

I would be surprised if Brice does not get drafted. I think he fits into today's NBA very well.
