Better be ready. This is going to be a test. Might go down to the wire.

 

Drake's a good team. One (Meyer), played at Iowa, before transfering. They play their starting 5 most of the game. Have some height. Guards are good. (One is a scorer

....(Dennebier) sp

 

Focus and aggressiveness in big demand.  And defense of course.

 

Won't be Big East officials, so hopefully no influence by calls.

What is with these damn games not being on normal video stuff

[KarlHessEatMy....]

Also I just seen a tik tok with Sam suited up. No way she back already right?

Stats at the end of the First Quarter:

 

[hskr4life]

Just look like we're struggling... pressing... a little bit.  We just need to relax and play.

[Red Don]

Big Comeback!!!

10-0 Run Huskers w/4:44 left in the Half.

22-24

Weidner just tied @ 24 - 24!!

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats:

Huskers were down by 12 pts, then went on a 10-0 run, Weidner tied at 24 all with a bucket.

Drake answers with a run of their own, going up by 12 points, and end the half leading 38-26.

 

[redsteve]

Did Bourne get hurt or something. Stats show she hasn't played much.

 

Sorry, but sound only leaves a ton to be desired.

[12dozen]

I too wonder about Izzie.  Only 7 minutes.  Jazz seems to be struggling, offense and defense.  Time for a 2nd half turnaround.

[KarlHessEatMy....]

May be a long year against decent teams. We just don't play defense at all. Hopefully Markowski and Weidner get it going after a few more games cuz I am seeing a sophomore slump about to happen

[Red Don]

Drake up by 15 at the end of 3 Qtrs of Play:

 

[hskr4life]

mmmm mmmm ugly

[KarlHessEatMy....]

Don't even need to finish watching

 

Typical Amy Williams team

      Don't play defense ever

      Conditioning still sucks ALWAYS!!  I have never seen such a thing. Our girls can't even keep feet under them. Drake looks like they been walking the whole game 

       

Other notes

    Let's hope Maggie and Sam make a difference 

    Can Jazz get her shot back

    I would of never guessed our transfers would of been that big of a miss

    I still sadly don't think Amy will ever be able to recruit to make Nebraska a contender and will always be middle of the pack but better than last like the guys

Stock Trending... Down.  Bearish

[Red Don]

Husker Ladies lose by 18. 62-80!

Hard to win when you're shooting 31% FG & 21% from three when your opponent is shooting 55 & 43.

Agree, newcomers not contributing much (yet?).  Well coached teams, do seem to expose our defensive deficiencies.  Nothing new.  If we can find our shooting touch, we should be competitive.  Middle of the conference pack?

 

Not sure how much help Sam and MM will be.  Sam usually plays better as the season goes along.  Shortened season won't help.  And Maggie?  The young lady could be participating in her senior year of high school.  Heck of a jump, to B1G competition.  Regardless, fingers crossed.

Last year NE won 89-68 with Haiby with 15, Scoggin with 16, and Cravens with 2.  Need more and etter offense and defense.

5 of 24 from three range won't cut it.  Last year, we hit 12 threes (12/29).  That's another 21 points.  Drake also had 27 turnovers last year.  Hope it was just one bad game. But to your point, better offense and defense would have won this game.  Hoping this was just one bad outing.

[caveman]

Shelley, Weidner, Markowski, Krull and Bourne, are far too talented to be this bad.

[Huskerpapa]

Hard to explain, other than everyone seems to be a half-notch off.

Similar to the Creighton game....

 

Teams that go after us physically,  both offensively, and defensively (sp)... seem to break us down.

I was freezing in the stands of the football game and heard very little of the game and when we were down 17 in 2nd half I quit listening.  It’s apparent that we miss Sam and Cravens and even Ruby Porter could provide a spark on occasion. Brady is a non factor and Krull hasn’t been very productive.

 

Bourne, Markowski and Jaz need to step up their game.

Sam was suited up.

Brady and Dillard have taken up valuable scholarships for the past few years.  I appreciate loyalty, and having players backs, but this doesn't come off as sound roster management.  Not much bang for the buck.
