Pike made all the right moves tonight with the rotation and the offense.
Kiss showed energy, and McConnell looked overmatched, so Kiss got the playing time. Pays off with 8 points.
Doorson too slow to defend Nebraska’s quick bigs, and so Pike rides Johnson even with 4 fouls. Pays off in spades with 13 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and that huge block.
Nebraska tries 1-3-1 twice, and we carve it up twice. Well coached.
Team shoots poorly from 3, so Pike gets a weave going, which opens up dribble penetration. We score 42 points in the paint as a result.
I know people are starting to question Pike, but for this game, he deserves huge kudos.
