  1. Wow...dumb and dumber...Johnson played about as much as the starters. Do they get booted from the team for this kind of stuff at A&M ?
  2. Ya know, it's really too bad. She's such a great talent...but she is classless, does stupid things.... a lot
  3. Not sure where this goes, but... Agree with most of the points made here. Good stuff. The tournament play was way more physical, and to some extent quicker, than we faced all year. We, at this point aren't ready for it. Maybe that's the lesson learned this year. In some ways that's a good thing.... learned the hard way. But we got that chance to see what's really like playing in the "big time"...just getting there. All the B1G teams has the same issues. Week in and week out, we don't see physically "tough" teams. The teams coming in to the B1G, in the next couple of years may have their way with the rest of the B1G ...at first. The B1G may have to adapt to them...not the other way around. A lot more thug stuff in a lot of games I watched, not just our games. Near fights in many games. Trash talking, knocking people down (we did receive some of that) Pott's got pushed around and had her own little protest late in the game. If that's the way it's going to be in national tourneys, then we have get much tougher....or not. Another issue is getting shots off when under "stress". Much tougher to do in the NCAA's. The B1G is much less defensive minded. Easier to get set and shoot. And...lastly, opposing coaches had prepared defenses to neutralize our scorers, and executed their defense in a workman like manner. Good coaching, with a team that could adapt overnight. This was a great experience for out team. I expect they have grown up to the realities of high level play...and maybe us to a lesser extent.
  4. Was thinking the same thing at the half time. All these competitive teams have two or three athletic players at 6-3, 6-4 or more in some cases. It's already started, and It's just the way women's basketball is going to be in the future...bigger ...and bigger...and bigger.
  5. OSU had at least 10 blocks. Pretty much a huge part of why we were not scoring, But yes, a great season. Next year will be more of the same, but better....lots of wins. Lots of fun. This one stings but considering everything...the team did great. Proud of them, and to be a HUSKER !
  6. Is it my imagination, but Jazz doesn't' seem to even want to shoot a three?? Crazy, we're just not getting them shot.
  7. Holding Oregon St to 28 in a half is no easy feat. Actually have done well in that regard. Just somehow, pick up the offense and we have a good chance. On the other hand Oregon St's coach is no rookie. Expect them to counter with more offensive schemes in the 2nd half.
  8. You can kind of see we're not comfortable, and kind of tight. Our guards must work harder to get free for 3's There's not a lot of point in having Markowski out front. Come on girls, women or what ever...turn the wick up, grit your teeth, and get on a mission
  9. PRE GAME STUFF The No. 6 seed Nebraska women’s basketball team hunts for the third NCAA Sweet Sixteen bid in school history when the Huskers square off with No. 3 seed Oregon State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday in Corvallis, Ore. Tip-off between the Huskers (23-11, 11-7 Big Ten) and the Beavers (25-7, 12-6 Pac-12) is set for 3 p.m. (CT)/1 p.m. (PT) at Gill Coliseum. The game will be televised live by ESPN with Jason Ross Jr. and Aja Ellison on the call. Fans also can listen across the Huskers Radio Network, including 107.3 FM in Lincoln and 590 AM in Omaha along with free live audio on Huskers.com and the Huskers App with Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch calling the action. Pregame will start at 2:30 p.m. (CT).
  10. Haven't ben able to post, but did watch the game. A&M's speed on defense was hard to over come. They were set up to neutralize Jazz and it worked for them. Fortunately their offense was erratic and not efficient. Then one player almost won it by herself in the second half. We got a 17 point lead then the musical chairs started. So much for the lead in the second half. We got handled in the 4th. The storage stats.... Both of the high scorers for us, Markowski and Nissley only played a little over half the game. Would think you would want to utilize them more. Markowski ended up with 3 fouls. Also I thought Moriarty played well in the first part of the game...then she just disappeared. Hit a 3 then gone to the splinters of the bench. Could have used her quickness both on the offense and defense more. A&M looked like the Rutgers of the past, but bigger. And if possible, fouled more. Oregon is a much different type of team. Hopefully we match up better....and our offense is more effective. And....after the lay off, is much more into the flow.... and when they're so dangerously good
  11. This contract $$ puts her up the in the higher tier of the B!G, and into the top 25 nationally. Mulkey (LSU) is highest at about 3.2 mil/year ! Just above Geno and Staley at about 3 million/yr. https://frontofficesports.com/who-is-the-highest-paid-womens-college-basketball-coach/
  12. Looking at A & M stats Ware is their leading rebounder per game, plus the leading shot blocker by far. Blocks a lot of shots. About 2 per game...53 total so far. Shoots only from within the lane and near the basket. The starters do most of their shooting.
  13. Remember her some when she was in H S locally. Naturally athletic, tall at 6-4, but looked like not enough playing experience then anyway, and was behind the curve a bit. But that's several years ago now. Haven't seen her play recent years. So no good idea where she's at playing wise. She went to Miami U at first I think out of H S ?? A one year backup at the 4 and 5 ?
  14. looks like we play next Sat or Sunday. It makes a big difference to the selection committee, in how you preform in the last phase of the season. That's when we shined against good competition. 6 seed...It makes sense if you consider we beat Iowa, and not only beat them in Lincoln, but almost beat the no.4 team twice. ( the B1G title game was seen by an estimated 4 million on TV) Almost twice that saw the Volleyball national title game. And...we beat the darling of ESPN ....MIch St twice. Creighton no 7 seed probably reflects their schedule. All that all means noting now, it's all in the our hands to go a far as we can from here on out.
  15. The Governor has stepped in and pretty much told the BOR to get their butts in gear and get moving on the hiring's.
