Huskers Hoops vs RI, 1 pm CST, ESPN 3
- Thread starter newAD
- Start date
Picking right up where left off against Creighton, no one moving their feet on defense, terrible pick and roll defense, very little ball movement, and we're getting killed inside.
RI adjusted and shut down Shields after he went off early. They've done a good job on White as he's only 1-4.
Jacobsen has played well.
IMO the ball movement has got to be better to create open shots for McVeigh and Fuller. Fuller played well while out there. The ball movement to the perimeter is too predictable.

Took a while, but defense clamped down the last 3:46. Impressive win, especially given how important players like Watson and Jacobsen were down the stretch. And I liked the confidence with which Benny stroked that 3 for the lead.
Miles deserves props for putting in Benny and Glynn in together to mix things up. Benny shut their point guards down and hit a big 3 when we absolutely had to have it. Glynn is Kobe Bryant type of clutch. That young man is going to win a lot of close games for us going forward.
Played much better today especially Shields, when he goes we go.
Like our freshman class and we will have growing pains this year when conference play starts.

I noticed this during the Miami game, and I think it's worthing saying again. The offense runs so much smoother with Glynn Watson instead of Benny Parker at PG. Watson just has 'it' when he takes care of the ball. I have to agree, though, in that last 5 minute stretch, it was really fun to watch both of them out there, attacking the ball, dishing the ball to Shavon and all 3 putting it in the cup. Great win today for Miles and the guys. Play like this and this team can scare/beat a lot of others in conference play. GBR!
Parker's 3 to give Nebraska the lead is about the 1:13 mark. Log on, watch it. URI did exactly what you'd expect and left Parker open, alone up high right side to guard the paint. , Parker made them pay for it. Freaking clutch shot.
Agreed. Up until that point, even having come back from being down semi-big a few times in the second half, I still just wasn't sure if I felt we were going to pull it out or come up just short. Once Benny hit that three, I just had a feeling we had the game.
Seems like Benny worked on his shot a little this past summer or something. In the past two seasons, I could probably count on one hand the number of 3s I remember Benny actually successfully hitting. He's hit a number this year, I think one game he hit like 3 or 4. Still not a 3 point threat by any means, but it's nice he's not a total liability either.
I believe Watson has a very bright future ahead of him and I appreciate how Miles is handling his development. There are times he breaks down the D only to find his own shot. When he gets to the point where he finds his teammates for easy hoops he will be a star.
