Will Holtmann's astute strategy of putting your best offensive talent and top 15 NBA pick, Sensabaugh on the bench to start the game again  work ?

Last game the team scored a whopping 2 points in 5 + minutes to start the game.

Was there a reason given of why Sensabaugh started on the bench?

HS
Dgeneral's picture

He likes  5th year players (Likele) that cant shoot. Remember it took Likele leaving the team for personal reasons before Sensabaugh started.

No indication or reason to believe that tonight's game will be anything but more of the same old Holtmann. I expect us to win only because it's Nebraska, but we could easily lose as well. It wouldn't surprise me.

Play full court man to man most of the game and crash the offensive boards seems like a pretty good strategy for Nebraska to employ.

Figuring out and learning how to win close games is always a struggle for young teams, but trying to do it with Holtmann and Sueing in the mix makes it a significant challenge to overcome.

He's like the 4th or 5th option on a good team. OSU runs their offense like he's a star.

I mean he pretty much missed a layup, rather than taking a wide open 3, he dribbles left and towards the basket for an "easier shot" and air balls it..

Why does Holtmann insist on keeping in people like Sueing who does absolutely nothing, while Eugene Brown III has been absolutely great on both defense and offense, he got 2 blocks and was setting up screens, everyone else is standing around while Gene actually came to play but is benched all game. Is Holtmann intentionally shooting himself in the foot? Does he want Gene to transfer? This is absurd

Something is going on in the locker room! The bench players who are usually supportive of the players on the floor do not seem to have the same enthusiasm. The coaches have lost this team or there is a players rift. Something has sucked the confidence out of this team. I’m more likely to believe that the players do not trust the coaching staff and not a players rift or jealousy among players.

I like how the announcers are defending both teams by saying "both teams are in a defensive battle in that first half" lol more like the score is low because both teams can't play basketball well

He just doesn't believe in playing a big man. Okpara MIA and will be more and more so as the season progresses. Key is terrible.

Key is an old school power forward. Need to play both Opkra and Key together some. But he won't.

Key cant shoot at power forward range. He is awful. No way would any coach play him at the #4. He cant move, cant guard , has zero ball handling skills.

Yep. I wouldn't mind seeing them both out there together once in awhile. Holtmann won't try anything that makes any sense. He's a stiff.

No one misses more shots in the paint than Zed Key. I just dont understand why Okpara is not playing more. If he doesnt have more upside than Key then he should have never been recruited.

Only one shooting jumpers should be McNeil and Thorton. Everone else go to the rim or ride the bench.
