Indiana

[Fastbreaker]

Not one word on Indiana so far tells me all I need to know about the current state of Nebraska WBB.  I expect a bloodbath considering Indiana has two All B1G guards and we have a walk-on true freshman playing extensive minutes.  A good friend of mine predicted two more wins the rest of the year.  Probably about right.

Any word on Ruby or Trinity?  We could sure use some minutes from them today.

[Cazzie22]

Hope we can be competitive but I have my doubts.

My guess is that they are both out. Hope I am wrong.  Saw that Dillard had surgery and is officially gone for the year.

Indiana will throttle us. 2-3 wins in the conference sounds about right unfortunately.

I'm not giving up so quickly. Eternal optimist. Slow learner I guess.  We'll see how it goes today...if we get pounded then.....

 

If our guard situation (lack of defense) shows it's ugly head today...if so...it indeed is going to be a tough year.

Announcer just mentioned, we are going with 7 players today?  Yikes.  Be careful with the fouls, Kate.

[Cazzie22]

Kate seems to be the only player who can feed the post.

Kids are hanging in there.  I like Stewart.  She's aggressive.  Has strong hands.

[redsteve]

Bourne just got ripped off.  The defender ran into Bourne when she was in the air. Bogus charge call

Stewart was just run over on a loose ball, under the bucket.  We came up with it.  Only fair.

[Cazzie22]

Scoring is going no to be a chore.  I don’t know if we played decent Defense or Indiana just missed shots.

 

Romeo couldn’t get her own shot, but Connie set up multiple screens to get her open.  We need something similar for Scoggin.  Sam and Izzy are the only two threats for us.

[Red Don]

  I don't know whats wrong with the stats, they show Indiana with a 1 pt lead and 0:00 left on the clock  

 

(Actual Score at the end of the 1st was 13-9, Indiana)

25-14 We have hung with them but it’s going to be a blowout from this point.

We need some people with skills to get shots.

[Red Don]

Shots not falling.  25% Fgs; 12.5% from 3 & 33% FTs.

38-19 half.  A long season ahead.  Might be down to 6 players with Craven injured.  How did our program sink so low?

Tough for us to get decent shots.  Izzy  has two lucky threes that went in, thankfully.

Halftime Stats:

Kate Cain and Ashley Scoggins are no shows.  Actually for Kate it's embarrassing to be a 4 year starter and play this poorly.  She is getting schooled in every aspect off the game.  As for Ashley it's too big a jump to go from JC to Big Ten with no speed or ability to create a shot.  I feel bad for Haiby as she working hard but the shots aren't dropping.  Izzy looks great.

Would be difficult for that to work for Scoggin; she is not quick and cannot run well at all.

I am trying to forget him!!

[12dozen]

Not much to say.  We play in a Power 5 conference, and parade out 7 bodies for a conference game.  I'm sure all 7 were instructed not to foul.  Hard to be aggressive under those conditions.  Shawn Eichorst doesn't work here any more.  This staff is in year 5.  Why don't we have a full roster?  Invite some walk-ons, if you can't convince scholarship worthy recruits to come to Lincoln.

[Cazzie22]

We have a Kate Cain free throw to show for over 5 minutes of play in the 3rd quarter.  No wonder Creighton blew our doors off.  Can we get to 30 points.?
