Two things… 1. I was hesitant to state this earlier (and it will be interesting to see how it holds up against better competition) but we have a second TJD coming off the bench in Malik Reneau. Truly an elite player with tons of talent. 2. Bates looked solid on the defensive end. I didn’t necessarily have an eye on him at that end but just noticed here and there that he was doing some nice things. That’s huge for him and will help him stay on the floor longer.

Pretty much. It’s not the end of the world if he misses a couple shots because he can impact the game in many other ways. He just has to focus on doing that. Woodson’s quote the other day about having other guys around him for support was spot on.

- Points: TJD - Rebounds: TJD - Steals: JHS - Blocks: TJD - Assists: JHS - 3’s %: Kopp - 3’s Made: Kopp - FT Attempts: TJD - FT %: Kopp

Same here, something about his smooth skill set was just very impressive. Regardless of the stats he put up, his presence was felt on the court and he looks to have a very polished skill set for his first game as a freshman.

Sure, but I’m not advocating for him to be benched just because he misses shots or has a bad shooting night. That happens to even the best scorers. Just trying to elaborate on a point @rico was making that seemed to be misinterpreted. We have better players this year and can swap out players if necessary without seeing as big of a drop off as last year. You do make a good point about the pg position not being a true “plug and play” position like others are. But then again we have JHS to man that position when needed, and I’d assume most of us think that’s a major upgrade over last year.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting that XJ should be benched based off a single performance in an exhibition game. I doubt anyone truly expects him to continue to play like that. However, it just seems to be a general statement that we have the luxury of playing other guys who may be performing better than XJ, for example. We didn’t have that luxury last year.

“The San Antonio Spurs' release of guard Joshua Primo -- the No. 12 pick in the 2021 NBA draft -- stemmed from multiple alleged instances of him exposing himself to women, sources told ESPN on Saturday.“

I’ll go with Logan averaging 5 minutes a game. He’s obviously got a lot of competition ahead of him but he showed today that he’s got some game in him and he can have an impact.

He looked great in the exhibition. He started today and I’d be shocked if he doesn’t continue to start.

I love to hear that. Personally, I think an improved passing game from him will open the offense up more than his ability to hit a jump shot. Being able to hit the open man on a double team is crucial. Under Archie it seemed we were never able to beat the double team and it killed us offensively.

Wasn’t sure whether to post this in the NBA thread or not, but I think TJD could really benefit from adding some elements of Jokic’s game to his. He’s a phenomenal passer and can turn a standard defensive rebound into a fast break opportunity with his vision and awareness. Woodson wants to run a fast paced offense and having this ability could really enhance it.

Can’t say I blame him. Wish him the best.

3-0 in the turnover game… tells the whole story today

That’s odd that only upper level seems to be available. Someone more in the know on tickets might have an explanation. FYI, if you find anything available in the 100 level they are actually pretty great seats. Hopefully something comes available for you.

Simmons has been impressive today

What an absolute boneheaded play

F***

Give me more Lucas please

Way to hold it down on D!

Especially against a team like Michigan

Followed up a couple bad plays that had poor decision making/execution and somehow managed to salvage the drive. I’ll take it.

Give him a break, he has to play for Nebraska after all. Not much to celebrate this year lol

I wish there was better management of which plays are reviewed. I know we don’t wanna have 4hr games but how is that potential fumble not reviewed?

Gonna be a tough game, but I hope we absolutely blow the brakes off the corn shuckers

I understand the point you’re making, but out of curiosity, where do you actually see us actually being ranked?
