Looks like we're in the Maryland bracket more than likely...depends on tomorrow like Bugs said.

r u sure? i thought this gives them a 6 or 7 seed? or at least in the "iowa" bracket

 

ok, yes---if nw beats iowa it puts them in the maryland bracket

That's what they were showing on TV earlier...it all depends on tomorrow's games anyway.

Hey @Bugeaters1  It looks like my 'Uniform' worked again   (That or having my daughter there at the end to help carry 'Em over the finish line.  When she is there helping me to root it seem like they just can't miss ))

 

(Too bad my uniform quit working for the Men  )

i thought brown may be headed towards freshman of the year for the huskers, but, i think it has to go to haiby. good argument for husker mvp, also.

I don't think NW beats Iowa.

We do have the worst ball handlers (with Haiby the exception) with Whitish leading the way.  I don't understand why every team doesn't full court press us the entire game.  Thank goodness we won but watching our team reminds me of the days I watched my daughters during their 6th and 7th grade years.  One turnover or bad decision after another.  Hopefully the next class will have some ball handlers.

WHEW!! (to repeat Red Don)  Cardiac Kids!!  Was pretty at times, anything but at others, esp. dealing w/ the press.  But a win of any kind on the road is beautiful.  Way to go, ladies!! Now let's see what they bring in the Tourney.

makes one ask the question:  i wonder if coach williams dyes her hair???

If she doesn't yet, it may not be far off (unless we handle the ball much better next year).

If we had a great ball handler it would work.

What bothers/concerns me is when they do pass over or up court, the next player holds onto the ball too long and allows the press to get right up on them.  Have also seen too many players dribble close to the out of bounds line and that works as an extra defender.  Can't say I know the answer, but things players and staff need to look at.

This is not to deny, however, that a great ball handler is in need- just expanding on your point.

Don't they have a transfer PG that got injured and has applied for a medical redshirt?

It’s not just ball handling turnovers though.  We have some really bad passes that are head scratchers.

Yes.  Kristan Hudson from FAU I believe.  She was a good ball handler if I recall but didn't see much of her myself before she was injured.  I'm sure her experience will be beneficial if she comes back.

Nebraska? if so, I don't know that she is the answer.

arguably the majority coming from the upper classmen.

hoping brady comes in with a nice basketball IQ......

[HUD]

Turnovers have been a big problem for the third straight year.  Rebounding has improved some and looks like it will continue.  Need off season improvement in ball handling.

[whoopdeedoo]

hannah always had a knack for getting her pocket picked, but, i thought she looked more rattled at times this season. definitely not something you want out of your pg.

[whoopdeedoo]

sure woulda liked to see them going into the tournament playing better ball but.........just following the way the season has played out. roller coaster ride.
