What a win. Huge for this young team to win a close one against a good opponent. While the NCAA tournmant is probably unlikely, we aren't dead yet! Couple thoughts.
-Jok and Bohannon were awesome offensively tonight. Having two guards who can stroke it like that puts so much pressure on the opposing teams defense.
-Baer did what we've come to expect from him. Making tons of momentum type plays and playing hard. If he gets his confidence in that 3pt shot back like he did tonight, lookout.
-Moss had a nice 1H. I wish he would shoot a few more times a game actually. He's still having a little bit of trouble using screens to get himself open.
-Cook. I kept saying we need to throw him the ball in the post a few times. Finally when we fell behind in the 2H we did and got scores. He still needs to learn when to shoot it and when to pass it back out and re-post. Athletically, he is going to be superior to just about anyone who guards him this year. Defensively he is still a major work in progress. He's made some strides there even in the two games since he's returned. You can tell he wants it, so I think it will come. He mixed it up on the boards a little bit better this game. Still needs to learn to box out.
-Pemsl had an off night. Missed three or four close ones that he normally makes. It's going to be tougher in the Big10 with stronger longer players, but I still like what he brings to the table. He needs to continue to focus on defense and boxing out. We gave up too many offensive boards tonight. He's a really good passer and I think we can get some Big to big passing between him and Cook going as the season progresses.
-Fran. I wasn't sure why we were zoning Michigan because they have a lot of shooters but we won the game so I'm not going to complain too much. I think he likes the zone because it keeps Jok fresh and keeps our bigs out of foul trouble.
If we can continue to improve our defense and rebounding as the season progresses I think we can be a pretty solid team. Let's go get the Huskers!
