JV infested roster

Where was this inspired play from Woolf all year?

 

[FrankZ]

Front rim that 3 it was off

 

[RW90]

Its criminal we don't run more plays for Noah.

 

[RU848789]

Our bench has 17 of our 37 points - unusual for RU...

 

[PatrickRU92]

nebraska (probably by design, understandably) has given us TONS of open 3s tonight. We've had so many open looks. That was the first one that went down

Simpson offense > no one

Simpson Defense> JMike Defense
Simpson offense > JMike no offense

 

[RU848789]

Despite everything, still in striking distance down 12.

Not to be a not picker but DS's layup in beginning of game was goaltending....dude blocked it after contact with backboard

I rewatched the play and it was not even close. Definitely a goaltend

10000% part of Nebraska’s game plan. If we were just “bad” rather than “abysmal” this would be a 6 point game.

@mildone "RACterial Infection"?

 

[bitnez]

Nebraska begging to let us back into the game

Playing better Today with Cliff on the bench,
Why? Effort dude is jumping 2 inches not running the floor, not getting rebounds getting destroyed on D.
How can you depend on a guy when you don’t know what you’re getting night in and night out.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Chris Mortensen. RIP.

 

[RU848789]

Gavin!

 

[socaldave]

GG!!!

 

[FrankZ]

logo 3 better have dropped lol

 

[Scangg]

Griffiths DEEP 3

 

[Scangg]

Simpson a complete liability on both end. Out of control with ball and leaves his guy wide open for 3.

Simpson is not a liability on defense lol

 

[FrankZ]

Go back to the logo

 

[bethlehemfan]

Wilcher pulls one out of his asss

 

[pd10124]

That’s a ridiculous shot by Wilcher. Great D by Gavin

 

[bitnez]

Simpson is not a liability on defense lol

This. Derek’s issue is on the defensive end.

 

[mugrat86]

Gavin’s defense is night and day as compared to beginning of the year and even a couple of weeks ago. Kudos to him and Pike

 

[RU848789]

Gavin seems to really like the top of the key three, even from 5-6' beyond the line, lol.

 

[80RU]

The rebounding situation is starting to get back to normal. But the starters are 0–11 on three-point shots. Not over yet.

 

[pd10124]

Simpson is not a liability on defense lol

Simpson is a borderline elite perimeter defender lol… that’s the one area you can’t critique

 

[Scangg]

That’s a ridiculous shot by Wilcher. Great D by Gavin

2 very good defensively plays in a row on the perimeter forcing contested step back 3's. He's got a ton of length

 

[PatrickRU92]

If we were just “bad” rather than “abysmal” this would be a 6 point game.

I literally nearly wrote exactly what you said

Tim Tok is great. 😁

 

[ClassOf02]

Ahhh the Corey Sanders highlights. Give me a guard like that again.

 

[Scangg]

Simpson is a borderline elite perimeter defender lol… that’s the one area you can’t critique

Yea that's just silly

The problem is Simpson can't shoot like always and after 4 of 5 games for Davis shooting 50% or better, he is having a terrible shooting game too

Can't have your two starting guards go 2-12

 

[BillyC80]

Gavin grew up on that play

 

[RU848789]

Down to 8...

 

[ClassOf02]

My best Steven Bardo impression: “OK Gavin, I see you.”

 

[Scangg]

Let Gavin cook!

 

[Mr Magoo]

Austin Williams…good grief

 

[William J. Leggett]

Just keep working the paint on these guys…
