MBB Pre-Season Scrimmages

From Huskrs.com:

Ames, Iowa – Sunday’s closed scrimmage was a tale of two games, as the Huskers and Iowa State split a pair of 20-minute games at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones won the opening 20-minute scrimmage, 45-31, with the Huskers prevailing 43-33, in the nightcap.

In the first portion of the scrimmage, Iowa State’s Marial Shayok keyed the Cyclones with 12 points, including a pair of 3-pointers. In all, ISU shot 50 percent, including 8-of-14 from 3-point range. James Palmer Jr. and Isaac Copeland combined for 19 of NU’s 31 points, as the Huskers shot just 43 percent, including 3-of-11 from 3-point range, and were out-rebounded 21-11 in the opening 20 minutes.

Nebraska regrouped in the second portion of the scrimmage, shooting 49 percent from the field while holding the Cyclones to 37 percent shooting. Glynn Watson Jr. paced NU in the second portion of the scrimmage with nine points and four assists, while Copeland and Tanner Borchardt combined for 19 points on 8-of-9 shooting. Copeland had nine points while Borchardt hit all four of his shots in the second half, as the Huskers got off to an 8-2 lead and never trailed. NU had 12 assists on its 17 baskets in the second 20-minutes with Palmer, who also had seven rebounds, and Watson dishing out four assists apiece.

Why are they splitting a 40 minute game into two "20 minute games?"

Anyways, as much as we like to badmouth Nebraska around here, that basketball program is trending in the right direction. I would have them about 5th in the Big Ten after Michigan State, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin right now. They will be solid.

KenPom has them #38 in the country. He has us at #25.

If that were an actual game, that would definitely be a quality win.

I am curious to see what it looks like once the box score comes out (assuming that it leaks out). If we mauled them with the starters and then let the freshmen play much more in the second half, that is even more of a good sign for the current state of the team.

What the F? It was 1 game, so why did Huskrs.com split it into 2 games, and say they split them? In the tweet it said ISU won the game 78-74.

Talk about spinning it. So instead of going 0-1 on the trip, according to Huskrs.com they were 1-1. Ummmm no.... it doesn't work that way guys. ISU probably held a pretty comfortable lead early in the 2nd half and sat guys.

I think they reset the score to make sure that it stays competitive and they can work on situations. It would not be a positive for either team for one to be up 25 in the second half.

It's Husker basketball. Gotta do something to make it sound better.
We invented winning the 2nd half with DMac. It's just what you do to spin stuff.

I'm extremely calm. Just thought it was hilarious how they said they split two games in Ames against ISU when that wasn't the case at all. No biggie.

 

[Cyched]

I demand we use this new '2 20 minute games' thing to inflate our record this year when convenient.

They did not say that when they won last season.

James Palmer Jr. had 23 points to lead three Huskers in double figures, as Nebraska topped Iowa State 92-84 in a closed scrimmage at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Do you want to be ranked or not!?!

Any idea if we will see a leaked box score or any reporting from this? It would be fun to see who stood out of the group of freshman, and other tidbits

They have leaked the past few years.

Here is the box score from last season...

@ClonesFTW

Can you help us out again?

[ZZZ]

Hopefully we can get some nuggets from @ChrisMWilliams
This team's potential has me excited!

 

[jsb]

I’d like to know who played most of the second half for us.

 

[knowlesjam]

Shayok with 26...nice! Isn't that about the average total game score by Virginia when he was there?

 

[awd4cy]

Sounds promising at least.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Good to see Shayok taking off right away. I think he is going to be a big play maker for us, with Talen rotating in for him to give him a blow as needed. Should be a fun season.
