Husker Nuggets
• A Nebraska victory over Oral Roberts would give the Huskers their first nine-win non-conference campaign under Coach Amy Williams.
• Nebraska's 83-79 win over Duke was the first for Amy Williams in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, and her 50th victory overall as NU's head coach.

No Brady again today. Mitchell and Kissinger aren't suited up either. Brady may be getting close, she doesn't have the ear plugs in.

Any idea why Grace and Taylor aren't playing?

Not a clue. Taylor was shooting. Grace didn't do much.

Thanks.

Just got a "casting" module so I can cast BTN+ game to my office "old"  non smart TV..... It works ! 

 

Watching on the 40" TV now,  The picture and sound is as good as regular broadcast. Pleasantly surprised.

 

Get the BTN announcers though...not so good.

Don't want to discourage you, but the announcers today are doing better than most.

Stats at the end of Q1:

 

[redsteve]

Hate to say it but so far this is shades of the Creighton game. 

 

They are playing decent defense, and making three's. Their zone is bothering us. We on the other hand are seemingly ready but weak on three defense, and  missing some shots. 

So far they're a one man (woman) team....guard her !

 

Lots of game left.

I have a couple of coaches sitting a couple of rows behind me. Ever time someone is open they yell shoot it.

Thought I heard Jeff say she is done for the year. Needs hip surgery. Tough loss and I feel for Taylor. Sure has been a rough year for her 

[Tinpanalley]

He stated it again. She is my favorite player on the team as was Rachel Blackburn. Guess I should stop picking favorite players.

Ditto

 

Horrible news for Taylor. She.s such a great team mate and student athlete. ...a real Nebraska kid that is wonderful to watch play

 

Likewise horrible news for the team this year...Taylor can be a difference maker. Will be hard to replace her in the line up. 

[hskr4life]

Sucky news for Taylor!

[Merlin]

Can she redshirt?

I don't think so.  My understanding, if you play in even one game, no redshirt is available that season.

[Fastbreaker]

Taylor will be getting a medical redshirt

[Merlin]

Ok I thought there was a 20-25% rule if injured? Thanks
