Fred

Its still early in the season but we must give Fred credit on what he has done since his first few years.

Most importantly, Fred realized that the lack of rebounding was killing this program, especially giving opponents 2nd chance points. His style of having five guys who fly down the court and chuck threes wasnt going to work in this conference. Rebounding and defense were lacking.

The past two years he has addressed this successfully. We were vastly improved in rebounding last year and at least for this game. We ended up only +2 in rebounding so it doesnt look crazy but it is when you consider how bad we used to be.

If Im not mistaken Creighton had zero second chance points. Remarkable turnaround.

Rebounding has definitely improved. I would also rank movement without the ball as a huge reason for the turnaround. Fred’s early offenses were too often one guy playing and four guys spectating.

Congrats to Fred & the Huskers! A win over Creighton certainly gives one hope this team might be competitive & fun to follow this year.
