Jeriah Horne
- Thread starter newAD
- Start date
I think his defense was keeping him out early in the season. He is still a little too stiff on the defensive end but he is looking like he feels more comfortable and is doing a better of job of seeing man and ball. And if he continues to average a point and a quarter per minute played, then I hope the coach would forgive a few defensive lapses.

Thankfully Miles gave the kid a chance. If he is not gonna be around much longer Horne is one of the kids I want to see stick around. Watson, Morrow, Horne, Jordy, Roby
Why would you give Horne more minutes when Jacobson and McVeigh are just about to find their strokes? No really... any minute now.
Maybe this is the sliver lining in taking one on the chin from Gardner-Webb - you figure it's time to start playing the guys with upside.

Sorry. I refuse to take anything positive that is happening right now. Total shit show.
I can understand that. But if there really are talented players on this roster, get them on the floor. What is there to lose at this point?
Waiting, waiting, wait. Jacobson never had a stroke and Jack must hate the lights. I have seen this kid hit three after three in practice. Practice, we are talking PRACTICE.
Just keep shooting, it will eventually go in. Pretty sad it took a career night from a kid who barely plays to beat mighty Southern.

They are not being taught anything on offense. I watch other teams play. It seems even the lower-end players on most rosters can make moves, fake, and shoot better than almost every one of our guys.
I firmly believe they need help being developed, and not just man defense beaten into them day after day. You still have to be able to score to win.
The offense produces lots of open looks for Jacobson - I mean WIDE OPEN LOOKS! You would almost think the other team wants him to shoot.
Obviously we need somebody other than Jake to be taking the shots. The offense isn't "producing the shots" the defense doesn't have to guard Morrow, Tshiminga, or Jake unless they're in the paint. The answer to getting more production in the paint is to have better shooters on the perimeter so the D pays a price when they double down low. We finally made somebody pay last night. Hopefully last night was a baby step in the right direction.
I don't see a whole lot of doubling taking place on Jacobson and Tschiminga, given that opposing teams have access to film and they've pretty much been black holes offensively. But in Tschiminga's case that's okay - the only way NU gets better is if he gets better, and to do that he needs to play. Jacobson's minutes need to go the way of Fuller's.
I don't even pay attention to our basketball schedule any more. Didn't even know they were playing last night. How sad is that?
Did anyone notice Miles last night after Jordy drove the lane from top of lane? Lane was cleared out, Jordy had ball at top of 3 line, he noticed clear lane and drove it in for a nice layup. Miles put his head down in apparent disgust with Jordy doing that move.
I don't know if that was Miles thought, but his body language didn't appear to be one of happiness. If he wasn't happy, why would you not be okay with your 6'11" freshman center at least showing some offensive attacking willingness if the opening is there? It pulled the Southern defender on Jordy out further next time which in turn opens lane up more for our guards to penetrate. Baffling.

Wasn't at the game...didn't watch. Didn't even listen to the radio. But, it probably had something to do with a defensive error from Jordy a few plays back. As you know, Miles is going to build this program up based on the defense we play.
Very possible. I have yet to figure out Miles thought process/strategy for getting Jordy minutes. Seems so inconsistent that I wonder if Jordy even understands. Most of them are playing like they don't know if they're doing well or not.Wasn't at the game...didn't watch. Didn't even listen to the radio.

On another note, how does Miles talk about dead minutes yet he continually starts Jacobson. 4 points and 4 fouls in 19 minutes. Not to mention weak defensively.
We sit opposite side of the Nebraska bench, a direct line to Tim Miles and that is not what he did. He double fist pumped and clapped, Jordy looked over and had a big smile.
Thanks for clarification. I was watching the play and by the time I looked over at Miles he had his head down and shaking it as if he wasn't happy. Seemed like a weird response after a nice play by his freshman big man.
