This will be a tough one. They're quick and athletic and can score. They rebound well. So defense will be everything. Top scorer/rebounder is their 6-5 center

Wouldn't be surprised if we double team her, but not enough time to prepare that probably

 

 

They'll have size on us in the post, and very tall subs. 6-4, 6-4, 6-5.  One is Gony from Lincoln. She spent a year or so at Miami. Saw her  play in high school. She's athletic, but needed a lot of skill development and playing time. but she's 6-4

 

Another note:  New Coach for football Matt Rhule...sounds like a great fit.  Loved the win over Iowa yesterday. Congrats Mickey    GBR

Shelley should stop forcing passes.  She must have at least 3 turnovers already.  Huskers up 23 - 21 midway in the 2nd quarter.

At the Half: Huskers Lead Mississippi St by 3 pts: 29-26

Stats:

I was hoping they would take Markowski out the last 30 seconds of the half.  Sure enough, she picked up a foul.  Luckily, it was only her first.

 

As Redsteve said, this will probably be close to the end.   GBR

[Red Don]

A really tight See-Saw Battle. Huskers lead by 1 at the end of the 3rd Qtr: 40-39

Stats after 3 Qtrs of Play:

 

[Red Don]

Is either team going to score 50 Pts!!!

Officiating sounds pretty poor

[Red Don]

Thirteen lead changes. Miss State by one: 49-50.

OT

[Cazzie22]

Make a free throw and OT wouldn’t be necessary.  Jaz is saving us in the OT.

[hoop_head]

So much fun hearing Matt and Jeff get excited. It's contagious. Nothing like a nice big smile doing dishes!

[Huskerpapa]

Yes.

[Huskerpapa]

Good win against a good team.

WHEW!!! THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE!!!

SOMETHING LIKE 20 LEAD CHANGES (Happily, Huskers got the Last Lead Change)

JAZ SHELLY WITH FOUR TREYS!!! (AND 14 PTS IN OT)

Huskers went into overtime with their

HUSKER LADIES WIN BY EIGHT: 73-65!!!

[Cazzie22]

Important win.  Need to sharpen up at the free throw line and improve passing against pressure.  VA Tech will be a tough assignment.

[redsteve]

Shelly for president ! AMAZING

 

What a game. Nice that we could stay tough and persever for the win. 

 

I thought we might get beat up n the boards with their height, but Markowski was a warrior with 15 rebounds. When that happens it lets your guards and forwards get extra shots

FINAL STATS:

 

[Red Don]

Saw this elsewhere:

 

Jaz Shelly scored 32 aloNe while Carter, Jordan & Johnson only scored 35 between them.

[Cazzie22]

Jaz, Bourne and Markowski logged plenty of minutes.  Moriarity provided a nice boost in the 4th quarter.  She may be the key reserve as we move forward.

Not to offend anyone, but Moriarity just might be putting up the numbers to be a starter.

Anyone else watch on Flosports?   Not sure who was running the arena clock. Someone should have told them to stop the clock, when a whistle blows.  Refs left much to be desired also.  Good to get out of there with another win.  

[Red Don]

GRIT; NO QUIT HUSKER LADIES!!! (Are Back!!!)

[HUD]

A close game we needed to learn from and still win.  Great to see Jaz regain her shooting touch.  Kendall M. getting better each game.  Maybe with the set back on the VB team from injury and illness and more then likely a poorer seed we may see Maggie M. available a bit sooner.  We still need that shot blocker.  Can't wait.

Regarding our volleyball season, this post might be considered a sacrilege.  But, I admit, the same thought crossed my mind.
