Samford's young and not to experienced.  Has some height. Don't think we have any common previous opponents.

 

We're playing at home, so unless we fall asleep at the wheel, expect to use up our roster tonight. Hope to see Issie back.

wonder if MM will be back on the bench and in uniform. Maybe will even join the warmups. Also, let's see if Sam warms up and if so how she is moving.

Sam dressed, Issie and Maggie in street clothes.

Issie in a sling ?

[Neb Nets]

Like seeing both the Kendalls in at the same time. I like their length on the defensive end.

[Red Don]

Stats at the end of the First Qtr:
Samford starts off strong, Good Defense.
Husker Ladies have not been in the lead in the Quarter!!

Looks like Samford has us scouted pretty well, and can make their plan work defensively

[Red Don]

Husker Ladies s seem to be trying to rush things. Lots of their passes are being picked-off, unable to finish at the rim!

 

(Just as I say that Hake makes a Trey! )

Did the girls realize there was a game tonight?  You have to respect every opponent.  Clearly, we are limited on offense if we are unable to penetrate and shoot and make threes.  Not an acceptable performance and hopefully,  half time chewing might light a fire.

[Red Don]

Samford 16; Huskers 15 at the Half. Lady Huskers have not had the lead in the game during the first half.

 

[Red Don]

Stats: Per Matt & Jeff this is the lowest scoring half Ever for the Husker Ladies.

 

They attribute it to good defense (on the part of Both Teams)

The first shot of the 2nd half (Allison Weidner) gives the Husker Ladies their First Lead of the Game!!!

[redsteve]

3rd qtr......looks like we are awake now.  We're at least a step faster.   Focus focus focus...what a difference maker.

[Red Don]

Husker Ladies catch on with a 12-0 run in the 3rd: Lead by 11: 29-18

 

[Red Don]

Stats at the end of 3 Qtrs of Play:

 

 

[Red Don]

Husker Ladies come back from being down 1 at the half; to winning by 25: 71-46!!!

Kendall Moriarty's three treys (almost back-to-back-to-back) were consequential in gaining separation. (As a team they went 11-29 from three.  Per Matt & Jeff, this is the First time Huskers have had double-digit treys in three consecutive Games! )

 

Final Stats:

Glad for the win but we cannot be the team we want to be with a first half performance such as tonight.  Maybe I am not giving enough credit to Samford. They appeared to have a plan and had a couple of nice players.  We need more bodies. 

[Huskerpapa]

Boy, that win was rough around the edges.  But it was a win.

[12dozen]

Hope we heal up some in the next week.  I grabbed the paragraph below from Huskers.com.

Mendelson did practice before the Samford game.  Amy talked about the fact it is good to have 8 days without a game to implement some things and get some better depth.  I can see no reason not to play Maggie next Sunday.

[All About the Corn]

I did not know til I watched the NPM broadcast on Sunday but Samford's head coach Carley Kuhns had about 50 family/friends at the game.

Forgotten the actual deal, but she has Nebraska family connections...somehow.

 

And will say, she's seems to do a good job with her team.  They were were well coached, well organized and competitive.... and did a good job with the roster she has.

If that little number 11 ever decides to transfer from Samford I think she would thrive in Amy's offense. She was a fast lil booger. Number 3 ever in the nation for most points scored in a high school career but she did start at 6th grade and was a starter by time she was in 8th grade. 

[Fastbreaker]

 Kennadi Williams game reminds me of number 11
