So to recap: Nebraska is shooting better at the rim and from mid-range, but hasn’t shown much improvement from 3 while the Huskers are taking more 3-point and 2-point jumpers and fewer shots at the rim.
Defensively, the Huskers have shown improvement across the board. Props to Doc Sadler and to the combined efforts of Hoiberg and Matt Abdelmassih to overhaul the roster and give the Huskers a better chance to stack up physically.
Sadler wants to pack things in and protect the paint first, and he’s willing to give up some 3s if that’s what it takes. So far, Nebraska has followed that game plan fairly well, and the Huskers have been significantly better defensively this season.
Nebraska still has far too many lapses defensively, but the offense is the biggest reason the Huskers only have four wins at this point. The good news is Nebraska has 67% of the season left to sort things out, and there’s plenty of room for improvement.
