We need to win 3 or 4 out of our last 5 conference games and then 2 in the Big Ten tournament.  Should be good enough to go to the WNIT where we could have a deep run.

[Big ed]

Just hoping.Nebraska 71 Maryland 66.

Scouting the Maryland Terrapins
• Coach Brenda Frese has Maryland contending for a Big Ten title while trying to make a push for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament as the Terrapins approach mid-February. The Terrapins are No. 7 in this week’s AP Poll with a 22-2 record that includes an 11-2 conference mark to lead the Big Ten.
• Maryland has won seven straight games since a 77-60 loss at then-No. 17 Michigan State (Jan. 17). None of the Terps’ last seven opponents have stayed closer than 12 points.

 

We're B1G Underdogs for sure; But we are maturing and we can really pour in the points if everyone's 'On'. (And it's being televised on BTN )

Here are the team stats for last game:

We played 'em pretty even across the board (like rbs, steals, blocks, assists & TOs), but we were really cold on shooting and Maryland was red-hot. Even their off=balance shots bounced in.  They play so aggressively on defense maybe we can find some advantage in there somewhere (they had some players in foul trouble).

We may not be able to pull the upset (but if anybody can do it we can do it); I'm looking for a lot closer game than last time.

Final Stats:
Might have been a game if we'd made those easy lay-ups and good looks we missed. The difference is Maryland Made 'Em; we didn't.

Terps hot early.  We just don’t match up with them.

[huskerchode]

Let’s wake up

[Cazzie22]

We cannot run an offense.  

[tcp]

yikes. that's some pretty odoriferous basketball. 8 turnovers in about as many minutes? 

this has curb stomp written all over it. 

[Cazzie22]

8 turnovers, 7 points.

gott in himmel. more turns than points. 

[huskerchode]

Good pass to Cain.

[Cazzie22]

22-15 at quarter.  Could be worse.   Cannot leave Blair Watson open.

[tcp]

ugly ball, but they're playing hard. is it me or can Cain get in a lot better shape? I'm a novice about women's conditioning in hoops. 

[Cazzie22]

Good effort and some better execution have helped us crawl back in the game.

[redsteve]

Hey guys....Maryland is really good in all phases. We're hanging in there tough. it ain't going to be easy.  We are making plays.

 

Almost no one in the B!G beats them. They play disciplined, and can shoot.

 

We are doing OK....just be as consistent as possible. We seem to have calmed down a bit.

[Cazzie22]

Maryland gets too many easy baskets. 

[Cazzie22]

41-34 at half.  Nicea is playing well.  Too high a score because we wont be able to keep pace.

Wisconsin up on Mich St. 46-27 .

[redsteve]

Hanna needs to calm down, and take care of the ball and her position...make assists

[Cazzie22]

We are trying but Maryland has too many athletes.

[Bugeaters1]

Sounds like the huskers r getting homered.

We are.  Typical brutal hose job.   I hate this league with a passion 

[redsteve]

16-0 run by Maryland. Too many guns. Excellent athletes

 

Too many turnovers  for us.

 

I missed the last T too.

 

Are they going to call any fouls on Maryland......Verbeek got hammered twice.
