Huskers Open Big Ten Tournament with Minnesota
The Nebraska women's basketball team begins postseason tournament play this week when the Huskers travel to Indianapolis for the 2021 Big Ten Tournament.

Bourne and Craven will both be back for this game...may equalize this out a bit. Revenge may enter the thought process too.  :)

Not related to the upcoming game, but found this while browsing all things Husker.  Looks like Taylor put on the jersey, one last time, for seniors day.

Looks like MInnesota is without Powell Scalia and Sissoko, probably their 3 best players.

Yep, I saw that on the live stream that Sat.  Pretty cool!

[redsteve]

Absolutely love this Nebraska kid that game her all for the love of NU and the game of basketball.

Let's go ladies.  Bury the Gophers!

[hskr4life]

There is no reason for us to lose this game with how many players Minny is down.  Lets get it done ladies!

That's how to close out a quarter.  Well done.

[Husker22]

Minnesota's really trying to slow this game down (for good reason). We just gotta keep up the intensity, dont think Minnesota has the firepower with all their players out.

Husker Starting Five:

 

First Quarter Stats: Bella Cravens Kendall Coley buries a buzzer-beater trey to end the Quarter!

Well listening to Matt & Jeff it looks like the Refs are blind (and mute) when it comes to the Huskers.

Minnesota game plan seems to be, play very physical (bordering on 'dirty').

29-14.  We need to bury them the next 4 minutes before halftime.

I think you meant Kendall Coley making that three.

They play with the same attitude as their coach. Kick butt and take no prisoners. A little of that is OK, play tough...but it's kick butt right now.

[Red Don]

Thanks, I was listening to Matt  & Jeff and misheard (Brain you know what  )

 

Matt & Jeff are getting excited 

 

Not to mention myself

Nice halftime lead. Need to maintain and expand  it so some of the starters don’t have to play big minutes.

[hskr4life]

Is there anywhere to view our team sheet?  I heard we have like 4 Q1 wins?

Husker Ladies up by 17 at the half:

Thanks!
 

Our Q2 record is what is going to hold us out of the tournament isn't it?  Dang it.  

 

We'll add another Q3 win today and have another Q1 opportunity.  Even if we beat Maryland, I don't think that'd be enough.  Our Q2 record is horrible.

We're a .500 team with loses that hurt us. On the other had, our wins against better teams will hopefully get us into the NIT. The extra games, and tourney experience,  will be good or us.

Cain has really come into her own this year Just has confidence now. Shooting real well, and has become more mobil. 

[Cazzie22]

I hate this sloppy play.
