I will be cheering from home as I am watching the chiefs at the same time... I hope the girls can put a smacking on them today

if Rutgers could get their first conference win against Mich St (@rutgers) and huskers get this win at PBA, put them in a good position in the standings.

imo, i expect a close game....with the huskers coming out on top. something like 74-70

think it will be hard fought down to the wire.

We cannot lose this game at home if we expect to climb in the standings.

just want to add....i have not seen Purdue play this season. Rutgers either. Just going by what i have read about Purdue and some of their games.

Like said, yes it has the potential to be a close game. Probably will...  

 

Their record's much like ours.  What little I've watched them, they look pretty good. 

 

They have a 6-6 big so they have very good size inside, overall quickness, and can steal the ball.  May be pretty tough for us in the lane.

 

They have four that do the most of the team scoring.  Are good at the free throws like Iowa

 

Better have our eye's wide open on this one.

 

^^^^^^

Just heard their big center is out of the game

Great start by Weidner.  Our passing into the post could use some work.  Good intentions, but not too accurate.

Bummer, can't get Matt & Jeff

(maybe they'll get the Huskers App straightened out by the second half )

 

But a nice run by the Ladies from when score was 6-9 in the first!

Weidner and Jazz in at the same time is almost at another level.  Purdue just kind of watches them fly around.

 

We get our passes to the inside fixed and we'll be fine.  The bunnnies are worth 10 m0re points in the first half.

 

Purdue aren't slouches. We must keep up the pace, and our depth could make a difference late.

 

Our shooting percentages in the 1st half are good, even with the easy misses.

Purdue is good at digging at the ball. Stay aware and it will be good!

 

huh, maryland only beat penn st by 11? surprised it was that close.

Any conference win will be important.

Up 20.  So far, so good.    It might be easier since we're leading, but I am a bit impressed with Purdue.  They don't whine and moan when calls go against them.  A bit like how our girls react.

Allison Weidner - 14 pts

&

Alexis Markowski - 13 pts.

 

GOOOOO FRESHMEN!!!!

[Cazzie22]

Don’t understand a line change when the game is still in doubt.  Purdue can hit threes and we need to focus on close shots.  We have missed a bunch.
