NU does not have the superior athletes of top 25 teams. As such they need to find some creative ways to get easy baskets. Most of the motion they ran last night where they look to go high-low is great if you're Kansas or UNC with some of the big kids they've had over the years. When they were able to get the ball in the post Ubel isn't enough of a threat to beat his man consistently let alone require a double team.
Also thought that Nebraska's out of bounds plays lacked creativity. One instance at the end of the first half with 7 seconds left on the shot clock and the ball 3-point line extended. Instead of some screens and something going toward the basket. The point guard tried to just seal his guy and was forced into the backcourt. It seemed as if they had forgotten there were only a few seconds on the clock and then they actually crossed half at about 3 or 4 left on the 35 and heaved up a prayer.
NBA teams are running game tying shots from that spot all the time in the NBA, there's lots out there.
