Here's 'The Skinny' (from another site :Redface:)

The Skinny: Todd Simon can recruit and that's exactly why Southern Utah hired the young coach. Simon got his start under Lon Kruger at UNLV and then spent a number of years at now defunct prep school factory Findley Prep before parlaying the relationships built there back into another assistant gig at UNLV, this time under Dave Rose. After Rose was let go, Simon served as the associate head coach. While UNLV was so-so in the win-loss department they had plenty of talent and Simon was a big part of that. Currently Southern Utah has arguably the best talent in the Big Sky as Simon has stockpiled transfers from UNLV (Morgan), Arizona St (Andre Adams), Iowa St (Jakolby Long), Boise St (Oluyitan), Illinois St (Daouda Ndiaye) and Utah St (John Knight). That's 6 transfers if you're counting at home...the same number as the Huskers.

Simon certainly brings the Runnin' part of the Runnin' Rebels to this team though it's certainly his own style. The Thunderbirds want to play fast on both ends of the court and the focus is on defense. You might assume that they're trying to force turnovers but it's more about speeding you up into taking bad shots to set up their transition offense. You also might assume that Nebraska wants to play fast anyway but if the Huskers are quickly missing a lot of shot that's absolutely what Southern Utah wants. Offensively the Thunderbirds will try and drive everything to the rim. They've made up for their fairly poor half court offense with transitions points plus getting to the FT line. A fully functional Sadler defense would probably throttle this team but if Tuesday is any indication we are far from functional.


Probably one of the big questions about today's game is how much will the refs be involved in a match where both teams are capable of drawing contact? This game very well could be a track meet but it also could be filled with continuous FT shooting. (and bricking!) It seems like S. Utah has some foul prone interior players. Does Nebraska have the patience to attack this?

This early afternoon game was a trap waiting to happen had Nebraska won easily on Tuesday. How do they respond?
Prediction: Nebraska 82 - Southern Utah 76

The officiating is really going to be interesting. The consistent complaint from most fans last year was the pace of the game. Bailing out the offense, which allowed far too many marginal players to control the game, lead to not stop whistles and trips to the foul line. My hope is at worst we see more ‘no calls’ allowing defenders at least some latitude with contact, but my real hope is we see more player control calls against the offense. We need the game to become more about shooting, and less about dribbling, burying their head, and crashing to the basket. It’s a much, much more entertaining game to watch.
