IOWA GAME DAY THREAD - PART 3

[12dozen]

I'll add more details when available.  

 

With the victory over the third-seeded Wolverines (22-6), the 24-7 Huskers advance to face Big Ten co-champion and No. 2 seed Iowa in Saturday's second semifinal game, which is set for a 5 p.m. (CT) tip-off on the Big Ten Network.

We will have are hands full with this game.  Would love to see us play Indiana tomorrow.

It's their second game and our third game.  All of our starting guards played 32+ and Michigan was allowed to play very physical D in a very tight game.  We cannot afford to get behind by more than a couple possessions.  I doubt we'll have legs enough to chop a lot of wood and close it out.  Preferably we will get off to a good start like we did in both the Illinois and Michigan games.  If we start like we did the last 2 games, I like our chances.  If not, I don't really like our chances.

agree............that third game is a pretty big disadvantage. however, who knows. i am sure the huskers will give it their all! GBR!

no doubt, it sure helps to have the depth!

Shelley is now leading the team in scoring and Cravens is leading the team in  facial bleeding, ouch.

Pregame:

I see us in a different place than when we played them earlier. We're definably in a better game flow now.

 

Would hate to see foul shooting be the difference for Iowa. Don't give up 15-20 fouls, and 25+ points at  the line.

 

Not sure weariness will be a factor. But a third hard game in three days... is tough.  Especially high energy games,

Iowas head coach seems very confident in the pregame interview…we’ll see how this goes.

Bluder looks foolish, walking around flashing the double 'V'.

Mental lapses costing us (as well as missing laups)

[Red Don]

Halftime: A real barn-burner!

 

[MontanaHusker]

Lots of questionable shots in the first half…hope they can clean it up. 

[mwm89]

We're in this game.  A bit disappointing because if we hit a few more of those good looks inside we have the lead at half.  Let's reset and try to come up with something to keep the ball out of Clark's hands a little more (I realize it's a challenge).  Go out and take it ladies!  GBR!

I think maybe 'hurried' shots, and missing the easy ones.

Clarke 7 TO's. She is so overrated. An she plays no defense.

If we don’t start making our threes we will be in trouble

[Merlin]

True. We can’t stop Clark driving to the basket.

We are in trouble

If not for Sam mostly no offense for us.  We do indeed need to start shooting better to have a chance.  Also wonder though Clark is quick if legs starting to get tired is the reason she keeps getting around her defender now and getting and-1 opps.
