Hoiskers 8.5 favorites over Murray St in Hawaii

[mgbreis]

I like the combo of things that Wooster brings to the table. Not a good shooter, but pretty good at everything else. If he gets a mismatch he'll kill them with his postup game. Pretty good at driving and kicking to the open shooters, he especially looks for Essegian (duh). Uses his size to work through screens defending on the perimeter. Ulis was getting killed trying to defend Rice from Indiana. Decent rebounder.

For a PG, he needs to be a better FT shooter. With his post up ability, we might need a few extra points from FTs in B1G games. Although getting the other team’s players in foul trouble probably offsets that a little bit.

 

[mgbreis]

Wow, just noticed the 9:30 tip time tonight! That's a late one.

 

[scarletred]

Sam is not a PG. Uhlis is a bit of a wildcard, but I don't think he's doing too bad so far.

Yea not a true pony guard, but I have more faith him handling the ball and distributing to proper open man.

Yea going our for dinner with some relatives for my birthday and will most likely fall a sleep in the second half..

#24 Rollie W. Why is he a starter? I am obviously missing something.

You must be. Solid player.

Rollie is an average shooter who is strong in the paint against maybe more athletic defenders. I like his offense around the bucket.

He’s normally pretty solid from the line I think.

Just shy of 70% for the year. Not horrible, but not great. A PG should be 80%+.

Not that big of a deal. End of game, the ball is going to Brice.

They are playing the Racers? Wow I haven’t watched them since I was a kid.

Rodie was one of the best mascots. Enjoyed the Racers games when I was a kid.

At some point when I was in high school we went to Omaha to celebrate my parents' anniversary on January 9th. Got a hotel room, ate out and went to a Racers game. I have a very clear memory of Tim Legler being on the team and that he was absolutely deadly from 3.

Wonder how the officials are chosen for games in Hawaii. Are they all Hawaiian residents? Last night's game was poorly officiated both ways IMO. They let both teams get away with murder except for Gary, Gary couldn't breathe on anyone or it was a foul.

I was going to mention that the game was not totally called like a B1G game. Allowed a lot of physical play away from the basket, but at least called the contact on rebounds.

Oakland was pulling away in the other semifinal, but OSU closing the gap.

Greg Kampe’s 42nd season as the Grizzlies’ coach. Even I’m not that old!

 

[MargotDeeper]

Fluck, OT.

It never fails when you’re waiting on a game with a late tipoff.

 

[schuele]

I’d make a couple of those Oakland players pay their own way home after that meltdown.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Not a great start. Still surprised essegian isn’t a starter

 

[mgbreis]

I know Sam is kind of a fan favorite, and I like him too - but man he brings next to nothing on the offensive end.

 

[mgbreis]

Would like to see us go big and work a post game on these guys. Do we do that?

 

[BetterRed]

Just gotta make shots. Missing way too many .

His size is an issue.

 

[mgbreis]

No we go. I like this lineup.

 

[BetterRed]

Gotta think ultimately our size will be too much for them.

 

[SomedayHusker]

Meah, Morgan and Buyk need to take this game over against the lack of size for the rainbow men

 

[SomedayHusker]

Get Morgan some more minutes, Buyk has been off. I like Gary at small forward

 

[BetterRed]

For a guard, Wooster is a bad shooter.

 

[schuele]

Need much better ball movement in the second half. Way too much one-on-one stuff.

 

[mgbreis]

Terrible.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Woof. Was rhule dialing up that end of half strategy

Fred is brutal at end of half/game strategy. It's almost comical, we NEVER get a good shot.

 

[schuele]

The “take foul” is my least favorite play in basketball. If you have fouls to give, just be really aggressive and try to force a turnover. You might steal an extra possession instead of just a stupid reset.

 

[BetterRed]

I’m looking for our guys to wear them down in the second half.

 

[BetterRed]

I just don’t know what Fred sees in Wooster.

 

[SomedayHusker]

I just don’t know what Fred sees in Wooster.

Heady player, fairly efficient since he doesn’t take many shots. Would be nice if he had more ability.

He really doesn't shoot a 3 unless forced to. Obviously for the best. I don't like him and Sam on the floor at the same time at all. Not a good lineup.

The anti Essegian, who can't guard anyone

Jemarques Lawrence wasn’t a great player, but Huskers miss his perimeter defense.
