Creighton exhibition discussion (see post 178 for Jake's link)

Are we running the 3-3-5? Everything they have is so wide open

 

[SportsMan9000]

this is all about the team trying things and seeing what we have yall. I get it but look for the individual things as opposed to the whole team thing. This game does not matter besides it being a tune up. The freshmen look great on defense, shooting still may not be there but this team is clearly missing a true pg to make things look normal on offense

 

[MR82]

No offense sets, no defense-leaving the arc open. No one is taking charge and I don’t see any communication between players.

 

[cyclones500]

I listened to radio feed for a bit. Glad I didn't pay to watch it.

 

[FerShizzle]

I miss these games being secret.

 

[loyalsons4evertrue]

Audi Crooks and Jada Williams save us

 

[CychiatricWard]

Does the team look confident? Does it have a clearly identifiable identity similar to prior years such as hard-nosed defense?

JFC, I’m making observations on what I’m seeing. I didn’t shoot your dog

You’re making these statements in a glorified scrimmage at their place, with a true freshman point guard. It’s the first game that isn’t practice against our own guys. Calm the **** down.

it's early and an exhibition but would be nice to have depth behind Tamin

Which isn't going to develop in mid-October.

 

[ClonerJams]

Gonna be growing pains with a young back court, especially when Lipsey is out.

If Bull Durham was basketball?

 

[loyalsons4evertrue]

You can really tell Tamin is not out there.....there's not even a thought about how to run the offense right now

 

[NWICY]

We have been offensively challenged this 1st half.

 

[cyclo120]

I need to be convinced that trying to force Milan to be a volume shooter and Jefferson to be a ball handler are good moves. There’s a difference between guys growing and improving, and trying to force things that aren’t part of their identity.

The problem is if they are not those things is this a top 40 team? Obviously still unknown but hurts our chances because banking on those things with Freshmen and role player transfers filling in gaps.

 

[rosshm16]

Where is Omaha?

 

[HoustonClone]

Who isn’t “chill”? Observations are ok. It’s a message board.

“Observations”

I understand that but we look really really lost right now

Malone in mid-season form.

Why can't the players have that kind of commitment?!

 

[madguy30]

I understand that but we look really really lost right now

And?

 

[ClonerJams]

Nelson attacking = good

 

[isucyfan]

Nelson is the new Keshon.
