I watched the Michigan State/Michigan game at Michigan. Michigan should have won. I still want to play Michigan St. in the conf. tour. with them as the 5 seed and us the 4 seed. It would give us another quad 1 win opportunity. The media sure loves Mich. St. and their coach.

To me beating IOWA in front of a full house on national tv made my year. Especially holding Clark scoreless in the 4th qtr for the first time in her career.

I watched the game on Peacock. Michigan played fairly well but Clark came out on fire and stayed that way most of the game. Besides her 49 points she had 13 assistants. It was a real love fest for her.

Net back to 31. A great example of not who we played but how we played. Basically dismal.

I wonder what the betting odds on her going vs staying?

I have said for awhile that I don't think she comes back. I still feel that way. I think the WNBA will do everything possible to make sure this once in a generation player goes pro after this season. Just my gut feeling.

I know that Alexis, Jaz and Natalie are consistent enough to have good games. I am more interested in how Logan N, Kendall M. and an injured Darian W. do. Also can Callin H. contribute?

I replayed the lack of a 5 second call several times with a stop watch. It came out to be a little over 6 seconds. In my mind it would have been a huge call on the team that was supposed to win and the ref just couldn't do it.

Probably won't be close. Just play well and don't get anybody hurt. A loss unless it is a bad one won't hurt our net much if at all. The next four games after this game are all winnable. A four seed in the conf. tournament with a win would look pretty good. A 7 seed in the Big Dance would be a possibility. Especially with a second win over Mich. St.

When we got to the game I told my wife that it looked like about 1/3 were Iowa fans. Hard to tell as they weren't distributed evenly. But after being loud and happy for 39 and one half minutes of the game that sure changed during the final 30 seconds. I just loved it. Best feeling in the world.

Taylor's younger sister Payton McCabe is a senior this year at Omaha Skutt. She will play for Drake next year. She is a 5-6 guard. I don't think Nebraska recruited her.

Wishful thinking by me on previous posts: It would be nice to see Jaz to get back to shooting the threes at a better % like the season she had 2 years ago where she hit 41% for the year but then we also had Haiby and Weidner to successfully take the ball to the hoop which helped set Jaz up. Remember when she hit 9 threes setting a conference tournament record against Illy? All I'm saying is it would be nice to see Jaz have a hot night now and then as you won't get that from Krull or White. Wish granted. Thanks Jaz. I have been wearing my Jaz sweatshirt with pride.

Having a one game lead over Michigan State, Penn State and Michigan coupled with the tie breakers over Michigan and Michigan State helps us towards getting that coveted top four finish. We need Penn State to keep losing and for us to continue to play well. Our last four games are all winnable but you see upsets happening every where. GBR

I have been to many many NU WBB games over the years. This one made me feel the best ever. As previously noted I really hate to lose to Iowa even if we played them in tiddlywinks. Last fall I sat at the NU Iowa FB game freezing my butt off surrounded by rude Iowa fans and we lost when we shouldn't have. Today At the game I was surrounded by Iowa fans with only one that was rude sitting right behind me. I was ecstatic watching them all leave after the loss grumbling and having a long drive home to reflect on it. GBR.

I agree. But that loss seems to have been one hell of a wakeup call to our coaches and team. Two great games since. Just need to carry that feeling forward. As of late Moriarity and Nissley have really been trending up.

A great lineup for most of the 4th qtr. Alexis M, Jaz S, Natalie P, Logan N and Kendall M. Good defense and offense. Two freshmen. Two juniors and one graduate. Very poised group.

All I'm saying is it would be nice to see Jaz have a hot night now and then as you won't get that from Krull or White.

It would be nice to see Jaz to get back to shooting the threes at a better % like the season she had 2 years ago where she hit 41% for the year but then we also had Haiby and Weidner to successfully take the ball to the hoop which helped set Jaz up.

I agree. After accomplishing every thing she can in college I don't think she will be back for a 5th season of college ball. The WNBA needs her and her endorsements will be huge. She is so competitive that she will want to prove herself playing against better players and teams. Once in a lifetime athlete. Her best feature may be her durability.

I have not posted for awhile partly because in retrospect in my mind I was getting too negative especially after a loss. Woopdeedoo has summed up my feelings very well with this post above. I think the team going forward may have found the missing 5th starter they so badly need. If K. Moriarity can keep her game at a some what consistent level we would have the player that gives us what we have been lacking at the 3 position. That being size and length, ability to drive to the hoop and good defense. I was at the game and really enjoyed watching the team rally several times getting to a 10 pt. 2nd qtr lead and then unfortunately giving up most of it due to the aforementioned questionable substitution with 3 minutes left before half. Same thing happened in the third quarter as well but the timeout coach took did stop the Purdue rally and started another rally for us. Going forward it would be nice to go 5-3 for seeding purposes but 4-4 is a necessity. P.S. I would give a lot for an upset of Iowa.

Our biggest problem may be the refs. If my memory is correct they haven't been kind to us back there.

Interesting. Thanks.

As TCU continues to sink it hurts our net rating a little since they beat us and once upon a time they were a Quad I team. Pretty crazy.

Need a big game from Potts.

I'm only saying that when you use statistics to look at some ones overall contributions a larger sampling size is better. They have not been contributing much on offense all season and this game is just another example.
