Seeking6 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Nothing really else to add on game. Fischer kept saying the same thing we all have. Gave the game away. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers....hopefully RoJo and Newkirk don't want to go out that way on Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Green woulda got the keys to the car all year. I don't necessarily think we would have a better record, but I think we would be better in the long run. Tonight though, after ROJO lollipopped that pass to Green that he let go between his legs, I wish CAM woulda yelled at the last 5 people on the bench and had them finish the game out. If that's all the more everyone's head was in this game at least get some guys on the floor who want to be there. We are going to be better because Archie has made him earn his mins.

slojoe Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 When crunch time came, we folded. Our PG's,Green and Newkirk, made 9 errors. I thought CAM was going to have a stroke. Our passing was terrible. We gave Nebraska a lot of fast break opportunities off the bad passes. We let them get 19 offensive rebounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You have to earn the right to be good" Agree, and I think it actually shows that Archie has a lot of belief in Green long term. He wouldn’t be so hard on him if he didn’t think Green had the potential to be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not include stats from tonight. One key item missing from this chart, imo. Newkirk is a Senior and Green a Sophomore. All other things being equal, those two extra years of experience should translate in better decision making and valuing possessions more. I give Green the benefit of the doubt as a second year player who is still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those minutes he fouled out, and got burned for easy layups and/or offensive boards. Plus not being out there playing his normal game of hustle and good D compounds it. 9 hours ago, rico said: No comments on McBob? Horrible game. I definitely noticed his bad game.

IUDan93 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I suspect Green will be a major player for us going forward if he is coachable. He has top level talent and has made some of the best plays for us all season. On the whole, we were in this game because our defense is strong. This I like.

BobSaccamanno Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Once Green made a couple of turnovers, he looked rattled. I see too much momentum in his game. When he’s on, he rolls. When he’s off, he gets shell shocked and the bottom falls out. I thought he was getting past it. With Newkirk controlling the ball, notice how the ball movement falls apart? He’s a real liability, but I don’t know what we can do if Green is having another one of his episodes. Crean did a nice job identifying a number of recruits, but Newkirk was not one of his better moments. He’s frankly not good enough to play here, bless his heart. Justin Smith was great. Just great. He moves well on D too. If he can clean up his handle and outside shot, watch out. Rob had too many TO’s but he was still a plus player overall. You can’t say that about any other guard. Rob has that second semester senior year mojo and it’s clicking. The two Macs didn’t give us much at all. Not a critique because I like what they’ve been giving us, but we are too delicate to have this many guys off. I thought the strategies were good. That’s why Smith was so good. Neb was overplaying the outside shot, and we had our bigs rolling to the bucket with the ball on the move. This team doesn’t have enough talent to just win regardless. We have to be clicking on all cylinders. We aren’t going to win unless Rob shows up. He did with respect to scoring and D. He was turnover prone but that’s just him and I gave up on his floor game long ago. If the other guards are tight, it’s not as big of an issue. It’s also not going to be a win unless another guard shows up (none did). The inside scoring was nice, and has been consistent. It was a winnable game if we didn’t fritter it away.

The broadcast cut to the handshake line when there was still time left on the clock and Archie was already out of the frame. If that was the case, good.

Didn't see handshake but considering Archie's post game presser lasted about 125 seconds I can say he was probably just pissed off how his guards kept making dumb decisions. Especially as PG himself...valuing the ball is paramount to anything else he sees on the court. I like Green. And his potential. But next year we can't have great game terrible game from starting PG. Hope Green gets that or Phinisee will take the reigns sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
