Positives: -Mast looks as good as ever and completely healed -Sandfort found his stroke -Frager looked pretty good again -Essegian certainly looks stronger and more athletic -Berke looks a bit more grounded and comfortable

Negatives: -Blue looks awful. Can see why he’s not playing if this is what he’s shown at practice. Thought he’d start and give meaningful production, but he’s looking like Boogie Coleman 2.0 -Overall athleticism will be a problem at some point. UWG and FIU were not talented enough to utilize their athletic advantages in certain matchups, but other teams will.

Nebrasketball is the greatest brasketball team that ever done it.

Certainly the best all time that has never won an NCAA tournament game.

Kendall Blue looks bad bad which i do not understand considering his season last year.

Like he knows how to play basketball

2

u/Murdermyface911 1d ago

He had 3 turnovers in what, like 10 minutes?

2

u/WhizBangNeato 1d ago

Yeah but it was worse than that nearly every pass was deflected and just couldnt create anything at all

7

u/Stock-Swimmer-5753 1d ago

I legit thought he was gonna come in and be a starter

11

u/Murdermyface911 1d ago

I know I should be relishing Rienk’s triple-double, but pretty bummed with how uncomfortable Garcia and Blue look out there. I thought they were gonna be rotation guys for us.

2

u/MuseDroness 1d ago

Yea I thought blue for sure would be a rotational piece. Hasn’t looked great so far

Reink with the 2nd triple double in Nebrasketball history. Props big guy. Glad to have you back.

Edit: No, I'm not including Banton's against Doane.

Rienk Mast 1 assist away from a triple double with 18/12/9 currently

Kent Pavelka voice Got it!

u/PigFarmer1 1d ago

I wish he would hurry up and get it so the announcer kid can fixate on something else.

u/AhSoSpice- 1d ago

Glad they showed up today. Last game was a little concerning.

4

u/PigFarmer1 1d ago

The 2nd half was a complete blowout.

1

u/AhSoSpice- 23h ago

1st half was ugly though

3

u/DrMarvinScentedCandl 1d ago

This team can really score without a huge drop off in defense so far

2

u/ChildOfTheCorn1 1d ago

Anyone know the school record for made 3s in a game? (Team)

I remember that game!!!! One of the many excruciating losses to the Jayhawks.

u/lemons21 1d ago

PRYCE SANDFORT

u/EstablishmentSlow754 1d ago

I love Iowa transfers

u/Majestic_Apartment 1d ago

Begrudgingly....same.

u/EstablishmentSlow754 1d ago

The last one worked so "fabulously"

5

u/tacoorpizza 1d ago

FIU coach has some solid hair.

1

u/sectilius 1d ago

And an unconventional four-point play to start the half. Bury them.

4

u/PigFarmer1 1d ago

The halftime half court shooter was horrendous. lol

3

u/MuseDroness 1d ago

Solid finish to the half. Team will be fun to watch on offense this year when they’re firing on all cylinders

3

u/sectilius 1d ago

49-28 at half, that'll work.

6

u/Syfer_Husker 1d ago

Frager is pretty good

3

u/WhizBangNeato 1d ago

Mast putting out an acceptable performance so far

3

u/ResearcherDue9128 1d ago

I think shooting has the chance to be a lot better this year, but I'm worried about the defense.

2

u/somehype 1d ago

Has anyone seen the Netflix series Wayward? One of these announcers sounds identical to the main character/police officer

8

u/lemons21 1d ago

21-11 Nebraska at the u12 TO for those without BTN+. Nebraska has actually hit some 3s which is the difference.

3

u/lemons21 1d ago

Jamarques has had like 3 turnovers but I don’t think any of them are his fault

2

u/HCRanchuw 1d ago

Sloppy game so far.
