Roads and streets are OK in eastern Ne. ...if they've been plowed a bit.

 

Omaha is out and about and moving as of about noon (we had about 6"). Pretty sure Lincoln is too.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Michigan State will be Nebraska’s 10th meeting this year with a team that has been ranked in the top 25.
• Nebraska is below .500 on the season, but the Huskers have fought hard down to the wire, with a school-record 12 games decided by two possessions or less. But, the Huskers are just 3-9 in games decided by six or fewer points, including 2-6 in Big Ten play. On the flip side, Michigan State has played just four two-possession game this season and is 2-2 in those games, with wins over Oregon and at Michigan, and losses to NC State and at Indiana.

Michigan State has lost two of its last three games, including a 79-62 loss at Wisconsin Thursday. But...
• The Spartans feature one of the Big Ten’s most experienced and balanced lineups. 6-4 center Senior Jenna Allen is averaging team bests of 12.9 points and 6.8 rebounds to go along with 2.1 assists per game.
• 6-4 sophomore Sidney Cooks adds 9.6 points and 4.6 rebounds. Frequent starter Victoria Gaines, a 6-1 junior, has pitched in 7.0 points and 5.3 rebounds. The duo gives the Spartans versatility at the power forward spot.
• Junior point guard Taryn McCutcheon is averaging 10.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and a team-best 4.5 assists per contest. The 5-5 McCutcheon hits 41.5 percent (61-147) of her threes, while knocking down 82.9 percent (29-35) of her free throws.
• Fellow junior Shay Colley is averaging 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists. She erupted for 32 points, six rebounds and five steals in a win over Indiana (Feb. 11) and followed with 24 points and nine rebounds in the loss at Wisconsin.

• MSU play up-tempo basketball and pressure defense. For the season, Michigan State is averaging 77.9 points per game, but the Spartan offensive production has dipped to 71.4 points per Big Ten game. MSU has hit 45.4 percent of its field goal attempts, including 36.9 percent from three-point range on the year. The Spartans have hit 69.6 percent of their free throws.
• Michigan State is allowing 67.2 points per game, while opponents are hitting 41.1 percent of their field goal attempts. In Big Ten play, the Spartans carry just a plus-2.0 point scoring margin (71.4-69.4), and they have been outscored (207-158) at the free throw line.
• MSU owns a plus-1.3 rebound margin and a plus-0.1 turnover margin in Big Ten play.

5 treys in the first quater.

[redsteve]

Where did this offense come from?  Really moving the ball and not standing still. Draining the 3's of course, but driving to the bucket....have MSU on their heels 27 pt 1st qtr !!

Husker Ladies are on Fire!

Stats at the end of First Quarter:

Another Matt Coatney-ism on Leigha Brown's Trey that bounced around b4 dropping: "Lay'in Bricks and Building Houses!"

One of the best halfs that the Huskers have played this year. Keep it up and we will be in 9th.

[Red Don]

 

If they'd only call All the fouls on Michigan State. (and HSN audio would stay on the air; And the Live Stats Update timely )

It's a conspiracy, I say!

Hitting your baskets makes this game a different experience for the girls.  Keep up this level of shooting and keep up this style of offense....it will be a long day for MSU.

 

Look for MSU to come out of the half and play lights out. Can we respond?

 

Iowa beat Maryland today.  Gustfson 31 pts

They're riding her coat tails for sure. But hey...ride it as long as it lasts.

 

Yes Bugs...next year they'll have to come back to reality.

 

Big posts that can score big,  and really rebound make about anyone a winner
