Who was it that said that the black uni's should be thrown away? also Hannah said that the team had a players only meeting after the wisy  game. and it was decieded that they would come out play and have fun.

Coats also said in pregame discussion w/ Sharpe that it didn't look like the UW loss had lingered as far as their demeanor.  That and the meeting probably helped and it sure showed. 

Excellent execution on both ends of the court?  YOU BETCHA!  Hustle and tenacity all game long?  YOU BETCHA!!  :D

I am really happy for the team and coaches.  We are so close to breaking out guys.  We r really talented.  It just takes a while for the young ones to figure out winning plays. We r making progress. The pieces are there - super happy for Hannah. I am sure she didnt have the start to her season she wanted but she has played extremely well the last several gms — veerbeek was really really good too. I wish she and the other bigs would quit shooting 3s. They may make 1 or 2 occasionally but it’s fools gold for them. Good win. Gbr 

I don't necessarily disagree.  But I'm thinking that going out there and shooting a couple a game helps open up the paint for us.  I trust they will keep practicing the 3 and really become even more versatile as they continue their careers.

I know Hannah was super women tonight (Nicea wasn't far behind)...and the freshmen were really stellar.......but the difference seemed like all  the starters were on top of their game. Hannah was superwomen tonight,.... it seemed to get everyone to believe. It was infectious. They had a different mind set...maybe the team meeting?

 

 The subs didn't have to come in and help save the team from sinking into the abyss. Rather the subs just continued what the starters had done, and added to the team effort. 

 

We did things we haven't been able to put together all season. Our play in the paint...rebounding & scoring...we were fighting for the  ball....hasn't always that way.  We scored a lot in the paint...and buried them with three's.

 

We did to Purdue what they usually do to the other team.  Purdue had no answer, and their Coach was pissed...T....T ...it was kind of funny in a way. (usually is when your on the winning side)

 

Pretty sure the girls will have a fun weekend.....They deserve a little relief from the pressure.

I don’t like black but if they play like tonight they can wear chartreuse.

I would actually prefer chartreuse over black.  Our school colors are red and white (scarlet and cream), why wear any other color?  They go to Purdue and wear Purdue's school colors.  They are playing for themselves not their school.

Did I read  the box score right ???    49% shooting,   37% 3's,   88% free throws.  Will beat most teams with those kind of numbers.   Outstanding 

 

The ref's kind of let them play. Called some fouls, but pretty much the same for both teams. Not many stupid calls like in some games this year.

 

Nine rebounds.   ....Notice the difference it makes to have Verbeek play the whole game, and not get sent to the bench,  (only had one foul playing about half the game.)...makes you wonder about Wisky game.. ....conspiracy of course :)

Actually looks like 40% for 3's.   I agree, Wisky ending would have been different had Veerbeek been given a fair shake.  Also agree on Refs.  Been awhile since I didn't get upset 

with them during a game.  Not sure if it was them doing a good job, or Nebraska kicking butt.  Either way, enjoyable game to watch.

If we win 3/4 the rest of our games and end in the top quarter of the B1G do we have a chance for the tournament?

 

20 is considered the minimum number for NCAA tourney....after the B1G tourney we'll see..... It will be touch and go, and up hill all the way. We've got 8 games left, and tough teams to play...maybe one or two wins in B1G tourney ?

 

Realistically......NIT.....but we must win lots of games even to get there. ?  Frankly would be OK with the NIT, considering the year we've had. Just have lost to many close games. 

 

So we'll see how we can close out the schedule. Last night was super encouraging. Maybe we've found the magic jell that finally has our team's chemistry coming together..............On to Indiana at home.

Not really, Gold and Black to Black and Red.
