Ament

[Unconditional Surrender]

I get it and hope he heals up but multiple inbounds mistake in inexcusable. He’s not 12 years old. He’s made more this year than I’ve seen combined watching games all year.

Barnes would have lit into any other player on the team and benched them.

He lit him up, but didn't bench him

Barnes doesn’t play favorites. He will jump on any of them in a second. He has a good group of kids this year. They play hard and give it their best every night. Most Barne’s teams do.

Not really. He was looking around at all the players.

No, I saw him light him up when he came over for the defensive substitution

Part of the inbounds problem is the lack of movement on the receivers , and absence of some kind of pick between the two of them. I love Barnes. But it seems like a simple pick play would break through the defensive holding ?

He needed to wake the F up.

I hope they stay awake from here on. This is probably the most talented group of big men we’ll see at UT.

His ankle is clearly bothering him. Still playing tough and hit some clutch shots tonight.

If it's a high ankle sprain, my guess is he will have surgery in the offseason. Hopefully, he has to wait until Tuesday, April 7 to schedule his surgery.

Exactly. The young man is injured and gutting it out for his team…even with a high NBA draft slot. He gets nothing but respect from me.

I’ve enjoyed watching him grow and develop this season. I think he can use another year of eating and weight training in college, and I’d love to see him come back.

But I’m not holding my breath.

I saw it too.

His movements generally seem fluid, but the tell tell signs for me are that he seems to have slowed down on the aggressive moves to the basket he developed over the course of the season, however did make a couple of nice angle drives to the hoop yesterday. Also he seems limited with his vertical leap. He can still rise and shoot over a lot of defenders but less vertical leap, especially near the basket. So much respect for this kid though, he has proven he's not made of glass.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Don't like that he has been playing for Nebraska. Now I understand why he has looked exhausted out there at times.

You are right. Sorry!

Having 3 days off will help some, everyone else just needs to continue to step up and hopefully Nate will be healthy enough to make an impact. He hustled and fought through everything, Nate is a battler even when it’s not his best night. GBO

He scored what, 16 points on a bad ankle? What are we even talking about? Played as hard as he could, gave maximum effort. Most in his shoes would have already packed it in and started getting ready for the draft. This kid is the best of both worlds combining talent with effort. Special player.
