Yea and they still lost kinda feel for him I think he was a transfer too. Either way I hope we come out with insane fire especially from Ayo to shut up the doubtersTeddy Allen had 41 tonight for the Huskers
When they do that we supposedly should be fine because we have shooters. But it seems they’re afraid to shoot at times especially DMWNebraska is the only other team besides Mich St. that consistently triple teams Kofi in the paint. Clearly it's a good strategy and I hope we'll come prepared
I think the problem is more that Kofi either doesn't look for kick out opportunities or isn't confident in his passing ability. We're a good 3P shooting team by percentage even if a couple of our guys are gun shyWhen they do that we supposedly should be fine because we have shooters.

DMW hasn't attempted more than two 3-pointers since our loss to OSU and hasn't made more than one since January 7 at Northwestern. He's attempted just six 3pt shots in the last 8 games. I think it's time to close the book on DMW as a 3pt threat. Can't imagine he's going to be taking these come tourney time if he can't bring himself to pull the trigger down double digits against MSU in the regular season.When they do that we supposedly should be fine because we have shooters.

Yea if kofi could recognize double or triple teams which is almost every time he gets the ball and pass out we could be insane. It would also help kofi’s draft stockI think the problem is more that Kofi either doesn't look for kick out opportunities or isn't confident in his passing ability.

He had many open looks that he passed off on but our offense wasn’t extremely bad I mean we still had 72 pts. Our defense was just as much of a problem that gameDMW hasn't attempted more than two 3-pointers since our loss to OSU and hasn't made more than one since January 7 at Northwestern.

MSU's midrange 2 game was on one yesterday. Langford and Henry must have had 10 shots barely touch the twine. Hard to not be impressed by some of those turn around jumpers. Definitely not an excuse to lose that game, but I doubt they do that very frequently. The offensive rebounds hurt a ton.He had many open looks that he passed off on but our offense wasn’t extremely bad I mean we still had 72 pts. Our defense was just as much of a problem that game
I haven't looked at all the shot charts in detail, but it sure feels like teams that are productive from mid-range (OSU, MSU) are the bane of our defensive philosophy. I don't know how many of Langford's offensive rebounds boards last night were completely untouched, but it sure seemed like a ton of them.MSU's midrange 2 game was on one yesterday.

Wonder if its ever been analyzed, but I think conventional wisdom is that, in practice, the bigger the player the easier it is to get away with fouling them. Shouldn't be that way, but it is. I'm assuming it's something subconscious, maybe based on a human evolutionary tendency to protect smaller individuals (i.e. children) and/or view size as a potential danger. In any event, the rules are the same, but the uneven application of the rules is such that you get dinged for being big (which is why Kofi gets assaulted every game).I have a question that has bugged me forever. I'm hoping someone can explain it to me. Why is "three guys hanging on Kofi" not a foul and "slightly bumping a guard" is a foul? Are the rules for forwards/center/guards different??
We have shooters, but they go for naught if Kofi becomes a black hole. Gotta get it back out the instant he sees the double.When they do that we supposedly should be fine because we have shooters. But it seems they’re afraid to shoot at times especially DMW
