San Diego, which is coached by former Nebraska assistant Cindy Fisher, moved to the title game with a 68-64 win over Mountain West Conference preseason favorite Fresno State. San Diego improved to 3-0 on its home court this season, including wins over Hawaii and Air Force. It's lone loss this season came at Washington (57-51). 

Australian Steph Gorman led USD with 17 points on 4-of-7 three-point shooting, while Ayanna Khalfani contributed 10 points off the bench in her most significant action of the season. The Toreros used a massive 18-0 run to turn a 10-point third-quarter deficit into a 10-point fourth-quarter lead before holding on for the victory.

Ruby shouldda passed to Issie for a lay-up instead of contested rim shot!

 

Lots of Steals/TOs by both teams!

Is Sam playing at 100%?  She seems a step slow, especially on defense.  

[Red Don]

Take away by Whitney, (one of my favorite players)

 

[Red Don]

Huskers lead at the Half  27-20

 

This is a real fist-fight, like Creighton.   I can't believe how many lay-ups we missed.  . (and FTs)

 

But we're still in the lead!!!!

Halftime Stats:

Sam seems to have picked up her pace.  Drove to the hoop a couple times and played a more aggressive "D" towards the end of the quarter.

Lots of missed layups, although there's been a good bit of contact on most of them.  Refs, as usual, are terribly inconsistent.  Just playing kind of sloppy.

[HUD]

Scoggins shouldn't dribble the ball.

I'm sure glad we are able to Watch the game, Streaming video compliments of the WCC conference.

[Fastbreaker]

33 turnover in 30 minutes this weekend.  Won't win many games going forward with that kind of sloppiness. 

[Red Don]

Stadium sure looks empty!!!!

[Red Don]

I think one of the things you can say for us we are playing Great Defense (as noted by Matt/Jeff)!!!

 

[NUtball]

Cravens gets mugged in the paint every play.

[NUtball]

What a horrible call.  11 wasn't fouled on the previous and-1 either.

[Red Don]

Poor choice of pass to Bella who was double-teamed.

 

We are getting out played this quarter, rebounds & 2nd chance points. 

[NUtball]

free throws don't lie.

[Red Don]

A foul & Travel.   If its Nebraska we get the foul.   If its San Diego they get the turnover! 

[NUtball]

I thought the officiating we normally see at PBA was bad, but this next level ridiculous.

[NUtball]

And, there's absolutely no reason to be checking the monitor on this play.  It was a hard collision, but just a basketball play.  They called the foul - get on with the game.

[NUtball]

Free throws don't lie.  What a three-ring circus.

  FTs don't do you any good if you don't make 'em!
