Im encouraged by the last 2 games....

 

[scarletred]

Up next V Tech and Clemson on Wednesday night...

 

[GBRhuskers]

 

[RealHusker]

Opportunities knocking for NU hoops.

 

[cubsker]

does jack ever make a shot? not when i'm watching.

 

[RealHusker]

Really sluggish/sloppy to start. VTech up 3-2 at the first break.

 

[cubsker]

if you like bad offense, this is your game.

 

[planored]

3-2 VT 7 minutes in to the game

 

[cubsker]

easy ed with all 6 for the corn.

 

[cubsker]

watson with the steal defending the 4 on 1 leads to a layup for tai. 8-7 Corn with 10:45 left.

 

[RealHusker]

Still sloppy/sluggish, but NU up 8-7 at the second break. Morrow with NU's first 6 points.

 

[scarletred]

Early in the season Watson and Morrow have impressed me the most.. And Roby the looks like the best Freshman.

 

[bigboxes]

Well, I think that we are much improved over last year. Steals, fastbreak, inside rebounding/scoring. Not sure what all the critics are watching.

 

[cubsker]

Jordy is....raw. hell of an athlete. Gill makes a couple 3s.

 

[RealHusker]

16-12 NU with 7:30 to go. Gill bangs home a couple of threes. Things have settled down a bit. Concerned with the number of second chances VaTech is getting - that will really hurt when they start knocking down shots.

 

[cubsker]

nice bucket by Jack.

 

[bigboxes]

Yes, Huskers are missing some shots. But the shots they are taking and making for themselves is very promising. Haven't seen this out of NU in years.

 

[RealHusker]

Huskers built a 20-12 lead, but two quick threes from VT make it 20-18 with 3 minutes remaining in the first half.

 

[cubsker]

thought jacobson would be better than he has been so far this year.

 

[bigboxes]

I don't care if it's close. NU just looks so much better than last year.

 

[RealHusker]

26-23 at the half, Huskers on top. NU led almost the entire first half, building an 8 point lead at one point.

Huskers have played 5 pretty good halves of basketball in this tournament.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Tough first half from the offensive end...looks like Va Tech is trying to play a matchup zone vs us and we are still trying to figure it out. Will take up three at half...should have a good chance to finish it off if we continue to defend well. Didn't give Va Tech many easy looks that half.

 

[RealHusker]

6-0 start to the half by VT to take a 29-26 lead. 17 minutes remaining.

 

[RealHusker]

McVeigh hit a 3 (finally), then missed 2 more, but the game is tied at 29 at the under 16 break.

Husker fans have a lot to be excited about. In what seems like forever. GBR

 

[TheNewNU]

Nick Fuller can't defend D1 players.

 

[RealHusker]

Couple of bad defensive lapses by NU. VT up 35-33 and shooting free-throws with 11:30 remaining.

 

[GBRhuskers]

Fuller, two straight defensive breakdowns result in 4 VT points and now his foul will send them to the line for two. He's a UNO type player, get him out of there.

 

[RealHusker]

So the color commentator, discussing the upcoming UCLA-T A&M game literally said that UCLA has length, but A&M has girth.

 

[RealHusker]

NU ice cold now.

 

[kaz36]

Seems like Miles likes to get the freshmen in the game in the first half, but doesn't have confidence enough in them yet to put them in in the second half of some of these games.

 

[kaz36]

VT has taken the drive game away from Webster and Watson and NU is struggling with the jump shooting game.

 

[RealHusker]

The game may be slipping away here...NU can't hit a shot, and VT stretched the lead to 6.

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

If you're going to play zone, you can't give up wide open 3s

 

[RealHusker]

Uh oh....this is not going well. NU had 3 guys at the rim for a missed shot and a rebound...they knocked it out of bounds. 44-37, VT with 8 minutes left. VT gets the ball out of the time-out.

 

[RealHusker]

Amazing how much damage one guy can do in just 2 minutes on the floor.

 

[GBRhuskers]

Seems like Miles likes to get the freshmen in the game in the first half, but doesn't have confidence enough in them yet to put them in in the second half of some of these games.

He'd rather watch Jacobson clank another 3, miss defensive rebounds and brick a bunny.

 

[RealHusker]

VT putting it away...NU was completely over-matched in the 2nd half.

 

[newAD]

This team starts with Watson, and they've done a great job defensively against him.

 

[bigboxes]

It's been all VT in the 2nd half.
