Huskers Return Home for First Meeting with Texans 
The Nebraska women's basketball team returns to Lincoln on Tuesday night for the first-ever meeting with Tarleton in any major team sport. Tip-off between the Huskers and Texans at Pinnacle Bank Arena is set for 6 p.m.

A live video stream of NU's game with Tarleton will be available through B1G+ with a Student U broadcast. Fans can listen to the call of Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch on the Huskers Radio Network (107.3 FM/1400 AM, Lincoln and 590 AM, Omaha), the Huskers App and Huskers.com.

Nebraska's meeting with Tarleton (3-1) will be the lone home game for the Huskers in a seven-game stretch that began with road battles last week at No. 20 Creighton (Nov. 15) and Drake (Nov. 19), before the upcoming two-game Thanksgiving tournament in Puerto Rico. The Big Red will battle Texas A&M Corpus Christi (Nov. 25) and Mississippi State (Nov. 26) at the Puerto Rico Clasico, before embarking on an East Coast swing that includes an ACC/Big Ten Challenge match-up at No. 11 Virginia Tech (Dec. 1) and a Big Ten clash with No. 14 Maryland (Dec. 4). 

In a rare occurrence, Nebraska plans to wear red uniforms at home on Tuesday, primarily because of complications caused by its upcoming Thanksgiving travel plans.

After the routs of the 2 previous games Nebraska looks like they have a slim chance for a victory

[All About the Corn]

A couple of things...Jaz the last two games is the only player over 30 minutes per game. Allison, Issie, and Alexis are in the mid 20's. Looked at some of the B1G teams and they have minimum 2-3 players over the 30 minute mark. Not saying it would have made a difference in the last two games but when you need more production we need our best group on the floor.

[redsteve]

Another not so strong opponent...maybe have too many ??

 

Tonight will be interesting to see if we've folded up our tent....or....have learned a couple of lessons about being competitive....and can be more competitive than who we're playing.

JFWIW   (I'm not sure if this means anything.  )

Once Sam is back even for limited minutes I think that will give a big emotional lift to the team.  Another opportunity for team defense improvement is for more blocked shots.  This should happen once Maggie M. is available.  How about a front line of Mendelson, Markowski and Bourne at the 3 position like she played at times last year.

Our best players need to play.  I agree with you on this point.

Sammy is coming in. Yessssssss

First Qtr Stats:

 

[12dozen]

Any mention of Weidner injury?  Looked like she got hit in the eye?

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats:

Huskers lead by 5  7 (31-24) (oops 7 - math was never my best subject)

 

  Everything Tarleton throws up toward the basket seems to go-in. 

 

(but they are dead-eye from three point range (43% vs our 13%))

Still no Allison Weidner sighting since she was hit in the face at the beginning of the game.

 

Hope it is not serious.  Matt & Jeff expressed concern she may not be able to make the trip leaving early tomorrow morning to Puerto Rico for the WBB tournament.

Very unfortunate turn of events. Hope they hang in there.

[Red Don]

And just when Sam Haiby slipped on the floor and is taken to the locker room.

 

[KarlHessEatMy....]

The urgency and lack of effort is completely gone this year. Holy smokes.. I hope something changes this year. Alexis looking like a high schooler with her try out there. Jazz has been lost. If hake can make some shots we would be fine.

[Red Don]

Stats at the end of 3 Qtrs:

 

This could go down to the wire!

Good to see Maggie Mendelson watching the game from the bench.  

 

[Red Don]

Final Stats:
Huskers Win it: 71-53

No Markowski; No Win! (24-18-2) especially after the 3rd Qtr slump when it was a 5 Point game.  Happily Jaz and Issie found their range and finished strong.  Could have been a downer after losing Allison & Sam.

 

[hoop_head]

Thought Markowski played her tail off. Absolutely put in work when the game was in doubt.

Except for Markowski, it was pretty average play.

This team seems to not be very athletic compared to the last three teams they’ve played.

Team flight to Puerto Rico leaves at 4:15 tomorrow morning.  Hoping they find their groove in San Juan.

[Cazzie22]

Tarleton exposed our lack of perimeter quickness and were a scrappy bunch.  We had a difficult time executing offense against them in long stretches.  Didn’t seem to play with much confidence or effort.  Injuries to Weidner and Sam are very damaging to this team.  If we don’t knock down a better percentage of threes then we are in trouble.  After viewing tonight it’s not surprising we couldn’t hang with Drake and Creighton.

[Huskerpapa]

Pretty sure Allison was taken to the ER.  Looked like a nasty injury including her eyelid.

Sam didn't slip in my view, rather, it appears her knee buckled.  

Briefly talked to the Mendelson's.  Great people.  Dare I say, pretty big basketball fans.  I believe mom said both of them played.

Tarleton was both scrappy and physical.  Their backcourt was troublesome.  Their bigs, not so much.
