These are my Three keys to the game are how do we stop Flaherty, Brown, Thome, Can Cain handle Thome ? Do you put Nicea on Flaherty or do you put her on Brown. and which one does Jas take. Munger would be the sleeper in these matchups.

starting out: Thome-Cain

                       Munger-Eliely

                       Brown-Simon

                       Dunston-Whitish

                       Flaherty-Jazz

i would be concerned about Munger getting in a rhythm. she can drain the 3 too. do you put a 6'1" Nicea on a 5'7" Flaherty? not sure that's a good match---i could see Flaherty getting around her to the basket a little too easy. with Flaherty i just think you start Jazz or even Whitish. no doubt, may be necessary to make a switch. i think Cain can hold her own. just don't get too aggressive and get caught up in the air on that first move (and possibly foul). Thome will get some points on Cain. hopefully it's limited. i think keeping Thome at or just below her average (16) would be really good. keep Flaherty from having the game she is capable of---that's the big key.

Can Whitish handle Dunston? Dunston is a bigger body.

Thome is much improved since she first came into the league,   Has confidence in her game. Not flashy, or super quick, but very good around the basket.  Saw her play this season. I see it as a freshman Cain against an experienced Thome.  Thome can get close to 20 if not defended. Cain will need help inside, so everyone (NU) must bang the boards.

 

Flaherty is the big scorer...put anyone on her that can defend her, or it will be a long game.  Just can't let her get open for easy shots, or we'll have trouble keeping up. Like whoop said...need to keep Munger in check as much as possible.  Defend against the 3 as a team all game long. 

 

We'll have to score in at least in the 70's probably. Everything else being equal....our defense may probably determine the outcome.

 

This could well be a barn burner if we have our game faces on at a high level. This is a big one for this young Husker team.

i think you are correct. i couldn't think of what Dunston's makeup is like. maybe you flip whitish and jazz. as far as flaherty----probably in game adjustments as far as who can guard her.

Jazz would be better suited on Dunston. The build are similar.

that is true, when you say that stuff about a player they go off.

Not sure the one on one match ups are the game.  We could play zone to take away Thome and the three point line. Yeah, I know they are athletic enough to beat us on the bounce, but it's more a matter of what your willing to allow and what you're taking away.  They are too athletic and too dynamic to take everything away without causing a potential foul issue for us.

To me the biggest keys are hitting the boards to limit second chance points and get some of our own and respect the possession know SILLY turnovers. We seem to have about 6 to 10 silly turnovers per contest.

Silly turnovers and silly fouls.

In tomorrows game if we reduce these two negatives and have good outside shooting from several individuals we have a decent chance to beat Michigan at our house.

I'm Glad the Game is at PBA (I know the team is too, after three consecutive Road Games).  The rate this team is developing we've got a real chance to beat them cleanly, in our House!

a person could list about 3 key things where huskers need to be successful in giving them a chance at a 'w'----or possibly even keeping it a tight game. the one that may be at the top of the list, and no surprise, is keeping Cain on the court. can't afford to get her into foul trouble. she has to play her game, but, play smart.

Thanks for the link Bugeaters.

Playing free is paying off for Husker women’s basketball

 

Wow!!

It’s tough to poke at three straight wins on the road that leave NU at 12-5 overall and 3-1 in the Big Ten. Nebraska has five more wins than it did all of last season, and the same number of league wins it had in 2016-17. The Huskers are inching closer to the NCAA tournament bubble.

 

Williams asked her team for more toughness, and it has delivered, especially in the areas that Williams said determine winning and losing: defense and rebounding. NU gives up 11.5 fewer points per game than last season and has a plus-4.5 rebounding margin. And the offense doesn’t yo-yo between random chaos and stand-around-and-watch syndrome.

 

“They’re not having to think so much,” Williams said. “They’re comfortable with where they’re supposed to be and where their shots are going to be coming from … and now they can just kind of play basketball and be free to make some plays.”
