Depth. The one kryptonite all college basketball experts noticed about this Nebraska team coming into the season. Obviously now many more problems persist for Tim Miles and the boys, but one question still remains. Why hasn’t the bench developed as nicely as everyone thought it would?
Nana Akenten lit it up from behind the arc in the early part of the season, shooting 19-of-46, giving him a 41.3%. Then January and Big Ten play came, and since the Maryland game, Akenten is 5-of-33, 15.2%. How does that happen?
Nothing seemed to change about Akenten during games, he has consistently dove for loose balls and continues jump crazy high to contest shots.
