[All About the Corn]

Really need to come away with a win today. 

[Red Don]

 

Stats at the end of First Qtr of Play:   Rutgers lead by 5 pts (5-10)

 

[Husker22]

I'm sure we'll still win cuz Rutgers is horrible but my goodness this is a brutal display of offense

[Neb Nets]

Already turned it over 8 times 2 minutes into the 2nd quarter 

[redsteve]

Can't believe this **** we're doing will last much longer....the street ball chaos is throwing us for a loop.  Rutgers isn't very good, but right now we're worse.   11 min and no scores

 

Calm down and play our brand of ball.  We need a Weidner to play this kind of balll. She thrives on it.

Never ever ever have I seen such a poor start.  Everybody out there is playing poorly.

[mwm89]

Finally,  3 straight buckets!

 

[mwm89]

we might set a record for 3pt ineptitude.

[Neb Nets]

Loving our use of the long outlet passes leading to layups underneath the basket (along with a few turnovers, but still) 

[HuskerFever]

0-15 from 3 isn't going to win you many games...

[mwm89]

meanwhile we might want to guard the 3 a little better.

[Cazzie22]

We look like a Class D-2 Girls team that cannot play.  Our half court offense is terrible.  If we weren’t playing Rutgers we could be down by 25.  Something needs to change, and fast. 

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats: Rutgers lead by 10 (20-30) over a freezing cold-shooting Lady Huskers Team!

  (0-14 from the Field )

We are freezing cold because we aren’t shooting we are just throwing up shots hoping. Pathetic.  We panic with shots under the basket. I say bench Alexis and play Mendolson

[Cazzie22]

Lousy play continued in third quarter.  

[Cazzie22]

Our post players need to play way better.

[All About the Corn]

We spend too much time thinking three. We are not that out of it. Play good defense and run some offense where we look for and take a higher percentage shot.

[huskerchode]

This is difficult to watch.  

[Cazzie22]

 I have to give Rutgers credit for their defense but we look so inept on offense.  We just don’t adjust.

[hskr4life]

0/20!!!!!!  What!?!?!?

 

yall— this is not a tourney team.  At least at this point in time.  This is not a tourney team.

[Cazzie22]

Why not play Coley? She might be able to hit shot.

[Cazzie22]

Rutgers wants it more. This is an unacceptable performance. 

[Red Don]

Rutgers by 14 (45-31) at the end of 3 Quarters of Play. Out-of-sorts Husker Ladies' Travails continue!

That sequence at the end of the third quarter shows our offensive limitations.  Well, our play is simply offensive.
