He is supposed to say we sucked and as usual I did not have this team prepared because I have no clue how to coach offense; how about setting a back screen how about having your big man set a pick at the foul line and roll not 25 feet out from the basket basic basketball 101Yeah...not sure what he's supposed to say...wtf
I am done the only one who played with any intensity was JY
Is lack of effort on him or the players? Are the practices that different when we play all out vs lay a turd?I dont know but they certainly did not play hard today, that is insulting our intelligence, I can appreciate a hard effort vs a lights out Nebby but we were humiliated

This. I mean what do you expect him to say? Im finding this rips against pike as the person absurd. Hes a great great man, again my gripe is i just dont think hes a great coachC’mon ...what do you expect him to say
“Give up on us everyone “
The question is...and we don’t know what the answer is...is what is the conversation behind closed doors between players and coaches ....
You should watch the video, it was a cordial gregarious great response. Whatd you want him to say something like chris ash how he doesnt worry about the fans?

I have him on ignore and it was still worth a like.Class A douche bag post. Per usual.
Not tonightI am done the only one who played with any intensity was JY

Its all coach speak after games.Pikiell has made similar comments about how well the team has prepared prior to games.and the performances have been deeply disappointing,he is also saying they have been having the best practices of the season
Alvydys Tenys was also a great practice playerhe is also saying they have been having the best practices of the season
There is no doubt that if Pike somehow misses out on the tourney his seat will be getting warm. Considering the predictions of mass exodus and his subpar recruiting he may be gone after next year. This is not a scenario I want - If pike can’t do it I believe no one can
And how do you know this is untrue? Seriously, go pull the panties from out of your crack and start acting like a balanced person. More than half this board needs to be on mood stabilizers.he is also saying they have been having the best practices of the season
Agree on a more disciplined team defense. That being said, a good team man to man looks like a zone. “Ball - you - man.”I know this appears to be the case but it's honestly not even close to true....he appears to hustle because he is so quick, but he's such a poor defender because he thinks he can outrun his opponent and then his opponent gets past him constantly.....he also doesn't play in the team concepts and leads to break downs on defense.
.
I don't have an answer for what it takes to play good team defense without communication on what your teammates are doing......Jacob and the team last year rarely broke down on basics or gamble, this team now seems to follow the wrong path of JY reaching or leaning or cheating passing lanes....and it's really a slow footed team, if you remove Mathis from the equation, so you need communication and not individual play.....
If you do what JY does and get a steal, it looks good on a couple of plays because it's "hero ball"....then others try to go for steals too, they start to reach, get out of position and overplay passing lanes and get carved up like last night......that was a coaching clinic on undisciplined defense and limited offense winning.
You don't get 18 to 20 assists if you are Nebraska by "playing hard", on defense......that type of Princeton style offense thrives on undisciplined and gambling defense and you saw the results.
A lesser athletic more limited team like Purdue shut down Nebraska because they are connected 1 through 5 on defense....they don't play hero ball on defense, which hurts the overall team. As much as Mulcahy is limited with lack of quickness and footspeed, he actually understands angles and tries but is rarely out of position. He just needs 4 other players to help Mulcahy out when he's isolated but that also breaks down a defense, when Mulcahy is isolated by an opponent 1 on 1........you even see Geo gamble on steals and reaching way more than before to get beat on cuts backdoor.
The breakdown of whatever you are seeing starts on the defensive end.....too much JY hero ball needs to stop....he was lights out last year, this year, his lack of discipline has spread throughout the team defense. It's easy to correct with more zone concepts that eliminate 1 on 1 defense and force the team to defend as a unit....one breakdown, leads to easy baskets for an opponent.
There certainly was a huge problem with the reaching and then getting back doored. It got worse as the game went on because of desperation. I’m not sure I would put what others do on JY though. You’re dead right about Mulcahy, he’s the best team concept defender we have. Just needs help in some of those one on one situations.I know this appears to be the case but it's honestly not even close to true....he appears to hustle because he is so quick, but he's such a poor defender because he thinks he can outrun his opponent and then his opponent gets past him constantly.....he also doesn't play in the team concepts and leads to break downs on defense.

Do we have a sports psychologist on staff? I really think it’s mental. Either confidence or chemistry or Covid isolation.
Montez posted a shoutout on Instagram “to those who haven’t felt ok lately but still get up everyday and refuse to quit. Stay Strong.”
On a whole he hasn’t been special on the recruiting trail. He’s had lots of misses and who he’s gotten to come here has been suspect. Bullock. Guy from France. This whole freshmen class minus Cliff. His four stars like Mathis have regressed. As much as I love Caleb effort he is true ceiling is an okay Big ten reserve who can have a moment. Geo came here when no one else would - he is a good big ten player who is clutch when the game is on the line but no super star and very inconsistent. He took a big chance on Myles and developed him - he’s a high three star talent even though his rating wasn’t near that as a high school senior. So credit there. Jacob well - obviously talented and if we had him for four years...Subpar recruiting? He’s landed a 4 star recruit in every class since he’s arrived and has proven he can identify under recruited players (baker, Caleb, Harper, Myles). All of this from a base of legitimately the worst program in division one athletics. He has 9 wins in what Ken Pom ranks as the hardest since his service began. I get it, it was a bad loss. But What are you talking about?
NoThere is no doubt that if Pike somehow misses out on the tourney his seat will be getting warm. Considering the predictions of mass exodus and his subpar recruiting he may be gone after next year. This is not a scenario I want - If pike can’t do it I believe no one can
No someone else can or no his seat won’t get warm if it plays out as I stated?
