it is.

And  the silly turnovers continue.

[Cazzie22]

Didn’t take long for Michigan to get it tied.

[KarlHessEatMy....]

Typical Nebraska fashion!!! I say new coach after this year 

[Cazzie22]

We don’t believe in blocking out.  Bourne blocks Hillmon and the Wolverines crash and rebound.  Same old story.

In my opinion, Hillmon is a far better player than Kate.

Energy and focus appears to be going down the drain.  Getting eaten up in the paint also.

[Cazzie22]

26-10 that quarter.  Same old song and dance.  Can’t get a defensive rebound and numerous turnovers.

[Red Don]

Stats at the end of 3 qtrs of Play: Mich comes back to take the lead in the third Qtr.
 

 

[Bugeaters1]

I give up, going to go do something more enjoyable. see you next season.

 

[Cazzie22]

No one can guard Dilk, who is a good player.  Finally, a timeout before it gets to double digits.

[Merlin]

Terrible rebounding team. Poor ball handling. 

[Cazzie22]

We are playing a zone when down  by 9?

[Actualfacts1]

The worst rebounding team I've seen in a long time. Apparently Leigha and Izzy wanted to win. Nobody else gave a damn. Seniors definitely aren't playing like this could be their last game of their college careers. The effort is just so disappointing. It's been the same almost the entire second half of the season. Just sad.

Seems like something surely needs to change!

 

[whoopdeedoo]

too many players with slow footwork on this squad. michigan goes around them with ease on either end of the floor. something we've seen most of the big ten season---just not a good rebounding team.

[Cazzie22]

Michigan’s two Sophomores are way better than ours

[Cazzie22]

Brown and Bourne are the nucleus to build around.  WNIT, not interested.  

 

I thought we would be better this season.  Clearly, I was wrong.

We tried hard to hang in there. We need more play makers./ shooters. Good effort overall, just couldn't hang with them. 

 

Mich just has more skilled players. Two of them with 20+  points. They're tough and quick around the basket.  Not many weaknesses in their top 6 or 7. Fundamentally sound.

And they are younger than we are.

Hillmon's one of the 20 best players in college basketball.

Numbers to Watch
(2) Kate Cain needs two blocks to reach 100 on the year to tie her own Nebraska season record. (3 Blocks - Check! )
(9) Sam Haiby needs nine points to reach 600 in her career. (10 Points - Check! )
(115) Nicea Eliely is scheduled to make her 115th career start, which will move her into 10th in Nebraska history ahead of former WNBA All-Star Anna DeForge (Indiana Fever) on the Husker all-time list for starts. (Check! )

 

One & Done in the B1G Tournament. 2019/20 Season is over! (unless Huskers receive a NIT Bid!)

According to Matt and Jeff they are likely to receive an NIT bid, and with a good chance of hosting.  We shall see.

unfortunately it’s that way across the league.  Losing a lot of ground  with our young players compared to the competition.  Hard to see how this can end well for this staff
