We need a big win tonight.  Sounds like we will have most players back but will have some playing limited minutes.  We are definitely much better then our conference record and will start the climb up.  We are still the only conference team to have beat Michigan and our two close losses to Iowa when we were missing key players doesn't look so bad as Iowa has been on fire lately winning big time at Minnesota and at Penn State.

On paper this one looks good for us. Look forward to our bench getting a workout. We need to get back into focus after missing games.

 

We should be able to control the boards. Hopefully Bella can get some minutes after healing up.

 

Wisky are not big scorers, but have decent defense. They're playing better lately...new coach this year.

 

Hopefully we can get into a track meet with Wisky.

Jazz will have her parents in the audience for the first time in Lincoln.  I hope she has a huge game, in front of mom and dad.

 

Just read, the parents of Ruby will also be in attendance for the first time in quite awhile.  Kick some butt Ruby!

Halftime Stats:

 

[HuskerFever]

We should always have the women's team play after the men's team. Helps lessen the blow a bit when you watch a Nebraska team that knows how to play.

[Cazzie22]

We are very sloppy.  Too many trips up court without a shot due to turnovers.  If Wisconsin was hitting it might be a tight game. We are not attacking that 2-3 Zone very well.

We got through the half with only 5 turnovers.  After 10 days off, not too bad a showing.

I noticed that.  Just seems that the TO’s were unnecessary and unforced.  I should be happy since we have a nice lead.

BELLA!!! BELLE!

Great to get back in the win column. Hope we play cleaner against Purdue.

I think the announcer just said that's NU's largest margin of win in our B1G league play history. Haven't checked that but I'll take his word for it.

 

As was said, the layoff made us a bit rusty/sloppy at times, but think coach also was just giving everyone minutes. And we got a head a lot,,,so were going through the motions somewhat in the forth qtr..

 

Anyway we must win every game we can.....the NCAA door is cracked open.

It was Australia Night at PBA for @HuskersWBB

To make the night even more special, @JazShelley's parents watched her play in person for the first time in nearly 3 years

"It's awesome for them to see this now."

remember this?!?

 

Tonight is the 6th anniversary of the best two minute rant in the history of PBA press conferences. Then the Wisconsin women’s basketball coach, Bobbie Kelsey, was asked about NU guard Natalie Romeo’s 8 3s. Her answer: https://t.co/FokXnGWHsb
