Huskers trying to run Radford out of the gym early.

Wish we could see the game....audio only just doesn't cut it for sports.

 

Team must play with a sense of urgency. Got to right the ship.

 

Haiby is the most prolific right now...needs to see the floor a lot. Hanna probably sees a need to step up her game....competition can do wonders.

 

Verbeek is very productive. She also needs to see the floor a lot.

 

Nice first qtr.  We'll see how the dreaded 2nd qtr goes.

 

So....we'll see

Some Half time Stats:    (Ladies lead by 13 pts  )

I thought it was strange when Ashtyn Veerbeek was thrown to the floor near the end of the second half.  Jeff said it wasn't a foul on Radford because the shot clock had just expired.   Does that mean 'anything goes' after the ball is out of play???

A pretty good 2nd Qtr (for a change).

 

Wish there were some Fans in the stand that could stream on their smartphones, if nothing else.

Announcers might be a little biased, but sounds like these refs might not be at the top of their field.

Sounds like there are a lot of 'muffed' calls!

Verbeek to the rescue in the third quarter

Sounds like they maybe high school refs.

Prescient!   I heard that Iowa really wanted Veerbeek and was recruiting her hard!

[Bugeaters1]

[Bugeaters1]

Well done Ladies!

[Red Don]

I think I heard Matt & Jeff say this was Coach Amy Williams' 223rd career Win; and 30th Win @ Nebraska.

Really happy for the kids.  Very good to see Hannah active on the glass and getting kids involved with assists. We need her to embrace being a leader. — love seeing Kate and Veerbeek with good rebound numbers for 20 min of action.  — shots go in sometimes and sometimes they don’t but rebounding and defense must happen all the time.  We got tougher today.

I didn’t get to listen to 2 nd half but it appears the team put them away.  Hope this builds some confidence.   Did anyone notice Drake knocking off South Carolina?

A Good Win!   I believe I heard Matt & Jeff say that Radford was predicted to win their conference this year (The Highlanders went 24-9 last season, including 15-3 in the Big South to finish as the conference runner-up. Radford advanced to the second round of the 2018 Postseason WNIT by defeating Penn State in University Park).

 

Here is the headline from the article @redsteve linked above:  (more game details in the article - Huskers,  had three players with 13 pts each, Veerbeek, Brown & Simon )

 

Quote

Coral Gables, Fla. - Freshmen Ashtyn Veerbeek and Leigha Brown each produced career highs with 13 points off the bench to help lead the Nebraska women's basketball team to its most complete game of the young season with a 77-39 win over Radford on Sunday at the Miami Thanksgiving Classic.

The Huskers, who improved to 2-3 with the victory, won all four quarters with balanced offense while providing their best defensive effort of the season in holding the preseason pick to win the Big South Conference to just 39 points. The Highlanders slipped to 3-2 with the loss.

Veerbeek pumped in a career-high 13 points, including the first three three-pointers of her career. The 6-2 power forward from Sioux Center, Iowa, also grabbed a game and career-high nine rebounds for the Big Red in just under 20 minutes of work.

Brown, a 6-1 wing from Auburn, Indiana, also notched a career best with 13 points in 20 minutes, including nine points in the second half to help the Huskers pull away late in the game.
