Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Feels like we're pressing just a bit.

2-6 from the line.  OOOOOF

[hskr4life]

Jaz is so good-- what a steal she was.

[Cazzie22]

Gonzaga is very good.  Their post play is effective and they defend well. We have to step up our game.?

[Silverbacked1]

We look tired to me. And a bit confused?

[Cazzie22]

Our posts are ineffective. Our guards are going to have to carry us.

[MontanaHusker]

I can’t watch so I’m listening…sounds like they’re taking some questionable shots. Hope they can pull it together.

WAKE UP

[Red Don]

Fasten Your Seat Belts!!! We've got a game on.
30-33 at the Half! (10- days off is probably a little too much between games)

My womens bracket is perfect so far….come on Huskers! 

[redsteve]

We're getting physically beat up a bit, and we won't do well when they aren't calling all the fouls. Gonzaga plays somewhat like a push and shove Creighton, except their bigger. 

 

Yes, our lack of tourney experience shows.

IMO, Gonzaga is very good and is disrupting our offense.  Sam has kept us in the game.  We need Markowski on the floor to give us a post threat and start making free throws.

If Izzie and Alexis had made their free throws, they would be ahead….hope they can clean it up in the second half.

We are in trouble with Jaz and Markowski both with three fouls. Officials calling touch fouls but letting it be physical around the rim. We need more movement on offense, too much standing.

[hskr4life]

Not a great 3Q start.  We keep going like this, we won’t dance very long.
