Hoiskers roll into Seattle as 2 point favorites

Either Rollie or Berke has to step up.

If Berke does what he did this game the rest of the season, the Huskers will be in great shape. He's a rebounder and defender first, scoring contributor second. I will say he is a little disappointing from a basketball IQ standpoint considering his Euro background.

People need to quit dogging Worster, Berke, and some of the other guys. They are role players. It's interesting what you credit Sam with as that is what Worster brings to the table as well. He is an excellent ball-handler that we can depend on bringing the ball up the court. That does not seem like much, but when we depend on Brice to expend a lot of energy on offense, it is a big plus. He's also out there scrapping for loose balls, rebounds, and playing solid defense.

He had several inexcusable turnovers last night and forced some shots when he should have dished on drives. I complimented Worster earlier this year for his game around the bucket but he stunk it up last night until he got to the line in the last few minutes. As far as his ball handling goes, if I was reffing he would be called for palming/traveling every time he dribbles. I know everybody does it but he’s really blatant about it.

"It's a key time in the game to finish the game."

It's insights like this that keep Bruce Weber on the air.

He needs to stick to the weather on WOWT.

Rollie finally did at the free throw line at the end. He had a rough night otherwise.

Well he doesn’t start but he does play. He still sucks.

He was better than at least one of our bigs this year…..

It is simple... Berke and Worster need to be more consistent. Both have the ability to make us better, but the only way they can is to remain consistent

If he was a 6’5” point with all the skills you listed AND shot the 3 at a high % he wouldn’t be at Nebraska. You’re right, he’s imperfect but he has a role.

Would have to respectfully disagree. If you’re a point guard you should be some sort of competent shooter. He is not. In fact he’s a really bad shooter. I’d rather have Sam take more of his minutes as Sam is a much better and smarter player and can make shots. I don’t disagree that Worster is gritty, but so is Sam.

Sam can't play PG. Go watch the end of the Illinois game if you need to verify.

We really don’t have a point guard that can do the things you want them to do. Even Ulis is marginal.

Rollie is the best of our options.

We all want a PG that can drive to the bucket (and finish), dish out 10 assists, shoots 3 pointers from anywhere, rebounds, plays defense like a blanket (steals), and also sell popcorn at halftime. Basically a 20-10-5-3 guy. Where can we find one of those?
