Man, Woman, and Child!  Nice start.

[redsteve]

Our experience shows. The starters look very business like. Shooting is very good.  Defense is good too, not perfect, but good.

 

Nice start for the game, no doubt.

 

Izzie and Bella look so much more comfortable, have improved since last year.

 

Shelly is a great add to the team. She plays with confidence, and it seems to be rubbing off on the others.

 

Markowski is in early along with Weidner...they'll get lots of minutes this year. Look a little nervous the first time out.

 

Weidner's new name..."coast to coast"

Maine has good offensive sets, but we're doing even better blocking!!!

they are playing lights out!

[Red Don]

At the Half Huskers lead 52-26!!!   

 

Maine is good, but no doubt this is Coach Amy Williams' deepest and most talented team!  

 

(btw Matt Coatney & Jeff Griesch are also announcing on the BTN+ feed so there's no need to tune in to the HSN sports App )

Is it just me or Does Kendall Coley make one think Nicea Eliley is back on the floor in disguise!

Yes, Coley doesn't look fully comfortable yet. Still a freshman, but with obvious talent.....give her another year and she may well do a lot of things like Nicea. 

[Red Don]

82-35 at the end of Three!!!

[KarlHessEatMy....]

Ummm I hope we don't do that to every non conference lol. I felt bad towards the end. We don't have any scrubs. Everyone is aggressive and know how to score!!! Geesh. 1 person has an off night we should have plenty to choose from..

[Red Don]

Holy Moly!!!!! Huskers Win!!! 108-52!!!

Maine is going to win a lot of games this season, but the Huskers were just deeper, And on Fire!!!


I Hear the rest of the non-cons are going to cancel their Husker games!

i do not want to take away anything from what the huskers did to maine.....however, matt was probably wrong on his assessment that maine would be the huskers toughest opponent in the non-con. no doubt maine was overmatched---husker length caused them real problems. 

and, holy cow.....did minny lose to jacksonville??? that's not good for the big ten.

[redsteve]

Impressive start to the season.

So the question is...are we that good, or was Maine just not up to game speed yet, and we stunned them out of the gate, and they couldn't recover. 

 

Anyway, our freshmen may be our best freshman group under Coach Amy's reign.  

 

Overall our guard group has enormous potential.  Very deep at the position(s) Weidner is another dimension we've been missing. Wow

 

We're a lot stronger in the paint than I thought we might be. Bella and Issie have gone up a notch, in their presence, and Annika is a lot more efficient inside. She had a nice game.

Markowski will make her self known more.  Needs to play a few games and just do what she can do ...... pushing too hard to do well, to soon. Got to love the hunger though.

 

Want to see more games,  and be ready for Creighton.

yes they did..........however, it's a stain for minny, but, wouldn't make too much else out of it. still think minny will be a headache come big ten play.
