19 point lead WELL past the three-quarters mark. Hang on guys for 8 strong closing minutes. Winning the turnovers stat by 15-5 is big.*ing
Victory 70-59. Young’s stats look like what we’d want from a center. Cats showed moments of how good they can be and moments of a young team in a game a bit too fast for them.
Cats hits 28-30 free throw tonight I think.
You're too much!!Wonder if nance will be at NU a year from now.
The free throws translate into conference play. Not sure about the rest. Wonder if nance will be at NU a year from now.
Screw y’all. Not going to keep repeating all the posts you choose to ignore about NU and excellence. Bury your collective heads, believe what you want to believe, doesn’t make it true. And won’t improve your NU or Rivals experience.
There are safe spaces these days for those unable to confront reality.
We beat a high school team after losing to two other high school teams. Our ‘best’ player, the NBA potential, has had about two good games in a year plus. The rest of the crew? Well, let’s see this season play out. I suspect many of you will go the mikewebb route. Many more STHs will exit too.
In fact, let’s revisit all this in about a year. There were complaints about only 300 fans. Let’s see how this plays out. I’m one person. There have been thousands in that stadium before. Speak to me like you want to yell at them. That will get them back.
Oh, and I hope all you judgemental pricks are among those 300. Hope you aren’t too lazy, cheap, uninterested to travel in and support this team while you bash and judge those that call out the things that explain why YOU are not there. Hope you are all STHs and BTN+ subscribers because if you didn’t commit the night to this game somehow, why not? Hypocrites.
Got a call from Titanium. Nance will probably be playing in the NBA with his brother for the Cavs next season, so you're right (again!).Wonder if nance will be at NU a year from now.
Positives:
-All 3 of our freshmen has impressive skills in different aspects of the game
-Nance is confident
-Kopp is creating looks
-Young is a fighter
-Spencer is better than even the more optimistic folks could expect
-Our man to man is competent
-if chicken sandwiches become free after 4 free throws we might get to 2,000 people to n the arena
Negatives
-Game for freshmen is still clearly too fast
-Nance does not get touches regularly, unless he comes outside. His game is not off the drible at the 3 point line. His points pretty much came within a 5-8 minute period. Before and after, not nearly enough touches for his skill set. Zone did not help that in 2nd half
-Kopp needs confidence. What numbers can he get to if he has it? Encouraging
-Young will struggle against B1G bigs. Want to see a mid range jumper
-Spencer is one skill away from an elite player. A consistent 3 pointer and a solid off the dribble jumper. Without those he will be limited
-Our zone is an abomination and no one knows what they are supposed to do.
-Heart breaking coolest little arena around is an empty cold building. Only motivated by chicken sandwiches
I’m not naturally a Debbie Downer, but it feels realistic to not bet overly ecstatic about beating Norfolk State.
On the other hand, the talent is there. Barring injuries, transfers, etc, a competent coach should turn this group into a team that competes to make the tournament
good observations. i think expectations for this year are to look back in a month and feel we have gotten better. and do that each month. that is what this year has always been about. are nance and young being consistent against better comp? can miller get to the 12-14 pt range consistenly. can the freshmen be solid contributors as the year goes on. this year is about the future plain and simple.
Hey sunshine, that would probably make you happy. Never seen someone root so much against his own alma mater.
