[Husker] Nebraska-Texas Tech Saturday night t.v info

Sat Jan 22 08:54:15 CST 2011

I've heard that Doc Sadler did some serious self-scrutiny over the off
season.   Some involved changes to his coaching staff, a reassignment of
duties and increased delegation among his staff.  I've gotta' think that
another thing he tried to address is offense.  A lot of teams struggle to
score in college basketball, and we're among them.  NU is not a good overall
three-point shooting team, but they're currently 3rd in the Big XII in
overall field goal percentage.  They shoot around 70 percent from the free
throw line -- acceptable and improved from past years (over the last three
conference games, they're around 80 percent).  NU pounds it down low to the
6'11" guys and the offense goes through them . and it should.  If the
Huskers crank up a lot of three point shots, it's not a good sign.

Defense is where our bread is buttered and we're good at it.  The
double-down low post defense we played in the first half at Allen Field
House against Kansas was textbook execution.  You can't play it any better
and they held KU to 25 points in the first half.  These young guys have
bought into Doc's defensive philosophy (last year they were way too young
and new to the game to grasp it).  But, you're correct, Steve, at some point
you have to score some points.

The Huskers WILL get out and fast break if the opportunity is there.  They
look for it.  Point guard Lance Jeter has been an exceptional leader thus
far this year.  And, most importantly, his teammates are following him.
It's his team, he knows it, and he accepts the leadership role.  Jeter is
6-foot-3 and a legitimate 230 pounds.  He's a physical, athletic kid and
he's learned how to use it.  When a  break opportunity presents itself, he
takes the ball and is determined to get all the way to the rim with players
following him on the wing for a pass or a follow-up rebound.  Lance is a
tough kid who doesn't shy away from contact or the physical part of the
game.  And he's equipped for it.  He's a load.  When Lance Jeter goes
blowin' down the court with the ball there just aren't a lot of eager
volunteers to step in and take a charge from 6-3, 230.  Tough, hard nosed
player.  Doc's kinda' guy.  Can't say enough about the way he's shown up
thus far this year.  It's his Senior year, his last, and he's leaving it all
on the hardwood.  Not a great free throw shooter, but hopefully good enough.
It's been impressive watching him evolve from last year (first year starter
out of junior college) to this year.  Vastly improved and more comfortable
with his role.

Dave, Dave Dave,

Don't be a hopeless follower, I have hope and have followed Nebraska hoops
since Cipriano...through Slow-Mo Iba...and Danny Nee.  I tolerated Collier
and really like the "Doc" but am concerned that his "all defense" and spotty
offense may give him a short rope in the near future. I think he is a class
act and if he has a solid conference year and a decent post-season run  the
University would pay his house payment for a few more years.  I will be
watching on ESPN 3 and I really hope for a win deep in the heart of Texas.

GO BIG RED
