You're right, Bugs.   Replay Sucks!

[Red Don]

Need to make 'em pay for that extended defense.

[Fastbreaker]

Why do we foul more than the other team.  It's been a year long problem.

[Red Don]

We Need a Dagger!

[Red Don]

OK,  Need a bucket to Win it!

Let's get a Dagger here!

Let's Go Ladies, Huskers Lead 77-74 with 22.9 sec left!

Super-impressive win.   Love how a prior weakness--free throw shooting--was a strength in the 4th when it mattered.   Sounds like we overcame some calls as well.  Great resilience down the stretch.

Maddie Simon comes through!  What a job Coach Williams is doing with this group! Love the balance scoring and never say die attitude of the team!  A road conference win to be savored!

[12dozen]

Clutch from the line.  That's the way to close it out.  Well done ladies.

Huskers Outshoot Minnesota to WIN; 79-74

Happy New Year's

I really think that Minny thought that they could bury the Huskers in 1st quater with all of those bombs that they hit. But the Huskers hit some bombs of thier own. Hung tough and got a win on the road to break Minny 7 game home win streak.

[redsteve]

Very impressive toughness in the last quarter.  We took over the game in the second half, and Minn saw it...they got desperate, and folded. 

 

WE MADE OUR FREE THROWS TO WIN IT!    

 

The refs tried to "homer" a game for Minn......in lots of ways, but we overcame.  Maddie had her best game. She's really come in to her own.  Excellent.

 

Lots of other good stuff....but just a great win...... that is beginning to get us over the hump. ...

In addition to our clutch shooting,  our defense was great;  held them to 13 pts. below their average.

Very nice win. We All need to get behind this team and coaches. Building to the future!

Yes, our defense has been coming on for the last several games.  Today our offense complimented the effort of our defense., and we had our most complete  game of the year. We beat a pretty good team.

Huskers switched to zone in the second half.

Going out on a limb if we keep playing like these last 2 games we are building ourselves a ncaa tournament resume!!! And no one would of seen that happening!!!

Here are some final stats: (even the stats on their site are screwed-up, still shows .03 sec left)

Excellent win.  Maddie came up big today with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.  Not a lot of teams are going to go into that venue and come away with a win.
