Can we make a defensive tweak that seems like it might help vs Nebraska?
Let's not double every post touch. sounds like their big man shoots more 3s than he posts up so maybe he's not a great post up threat? hopefully.
Every time we bring a guy to the baseline to double the post it leaves us vulnerable to backside skip passes and a numbers advantage for our opponents. This puts us into these long close outs and often leads to open 3s once they rotate the ball a few times. This scares me with Nebraska's apparent shooting ability.
Garcia is pretty good at walling up and holding his ground against bigger/stronger guys anyway. I bet he'd do fine. Solo is a great defender.
Having said all of this, do I think Buzz will allow one on one post defense? doubtful.
