Probably not, but there was more to like about the IU win than just the three-point shooting. Huskers also got the ball into the paint more and moved well without the ball.Can we shoot close to the game in Bloomington will be interesting to see if it was a fluke shooting night or were improving.
Where was this team in the nonconference?
Very impressive shooting after starting 0 for 5.
So do you like what Mile's is doing now? Clearly sitting Jack and limiting Jacobsen's attempts has helped.Finally we get a call getting hacked in the lane.

Making shots makes matchups better and coaches better. Everytime.Up 4 at half. Thought Maryland was a good matchup for us. But then again, I thought Indiana was a terrible matchup. Pulling out another road victory would be huge...leading into two games we should be favored at home.
Sitting McVeigh has given other guys opportunities, and they've capitalized on them. Having Horne and Roby on the floor seems to have opened things up for Watson. he's not just knocking in bombs, but also finding some nice mid-range jumpers.So do you like what Mile's is doing now?

Maryland's not as good as they were last year, but beating them in College Park would would still be huge. We're two weeks removed from losing at home to Gardner-Webb for God's sake, so let's enjoy this one while we can!line was only 7.5, so MD must not be that good
Jacobsen's shots the first half were uncontested and in rhythm. He previously was taking way too many rushed 3s. Now that we have other guys that are a threat it opens Jake to get some better looks. Just a way better mix it appears with the freshmen playing more.Sitting McVeigh has given other guys opportunities, and they've capitalized on them.

Jacobson's minutes are only really down today because he got whistled for a BS ticky-tack foul right out of the gate. But he's played fine when he's been in there.
NU's win vs IU may have won them some respect as well. They have one bad loss and quite a few pretty respectable games otherwise.line was only 7.5, so MD must not be that good
Huskers are also way more athletic on the defensive end, which has been huge today. They've made Trimble a non-factor and defended very well in the paint. Whether they can keep it up for 40 minutes, who knows? But the defensive effort has been terrific today.Jacobsen's shots the first half were uncontested and in rhythm.

The other two guys seem okay, but Ted Valentine might as well be wearing the big turtle mascot outfit.These officials will not let Maryland lose.
On a side note, Maryland better have a great chiropractor on staff for all of the head flopping by melo. That guy has soccer player written all over him.
Maryland has definitely stepped up their energy level on D and they are knocking down shots.Huskers settling for too many jumpers. Get back to moving without the ball, and better shots will come.
Absolutely. But NU also got really flat-footed on offense, with one guy dribbling and four guys standing around. Too early to panic and just start jacking up the first shot you see.Maryland has definitely stepped up their energy level on D and they are knocking down shots.
