See this as a pick em game. Either could win, but our home court is worth maybe 10.

 

Feel real confident we will come out angry after the Rutgers  disappointment.

There had better be an energetic, hustling effort tonight.  I don’t want to see Marisa going off on us tonight.  To me, it’s a must win.

[caveman]

We have had too many poor starts this year.  The energy level at the start of games has been poor at best.  We need to start hot and keep our foot on the pedal.

[caveman]

It's better to be lucky than good 

[12dozen]

Almost as many points in the first half, as all last game.   Up 13 at half.  Is it enough?

[caveman]

Brutal officiating, possibly the worst I've ever seen.

[mwm89]

I don't know what the FG% is for NU (sounds like it is pretty high), but I'd be surprised if we duplicate it in the 2nd half.  We will need to keep up the aggressiveness and hustle to finish strong and get the W.  GBR!!

@ Halftime  PSU has 7 Personal Fouls; Shoots 6 FTS:   Huskers with 3 Personal Fouls; Shoot One FT.  (no data on team fouls)

 

Jeff said one of the officials (don't remember which) called the past three possession turnovers for the wrong team.

Did You See that Sidearm, Buzzer-Beater Trey from Halfcourt by Kendall Moriarty to end the Game!!! (as Matt Coatney said; "That'll be on all the Highlight Shows Tonight!"

 

 

[mwm89]

Congrats ladies!  Great effort all the way around.  That's the way to respond with resolve and competitiveness after the previous outing.  Hope you can replicate something close to that the rest of the season.  GBR!!!

I'll be watching for it- particularly Sports Center to see if it makes the top 10.  Should be #1.

Huskers Come Back from the humiliating performance @ Rutgers to defeat Penn State by 29; 80-51!!!

Final Stats:

 

[Cazzie22]

Great way to get back on track. Terrific shooting, rebounding and good hustle helped demoralize Penn St.  I thought the defense on Marisa was very good.  Hake is fearless and getting Krull going on offense was a huge plus.

 

However, the number of silly turnovers was much too much.  Our shot selection at times leaves much to be desired and some struggles against the press is concerning.  Ohio St will thrive on live ball turnovers and will love a fast paced game.  We will need to be shooting lights out o threes and maybe make some point blank layups.

[Cazzie22]

Kudos to Bourne for her 1000 points.  She has been a rock.

[Tom Jones]

Give me a second helping of Callie Hake.  And then another. And one after that. And on and on

[HUD]

We had 8 players tonight really helping get the big win.  All 5 starters and 3 off the bench.

[Huskerpapa]

Back home...nicely done.  Great effort!

[fred1212]

why run up the score?

[Fly]

What can Amy Williams do in a practice setting that cuts down on the crazy number of turnovers, many of which are easily preventable due to mental lapses/lack of focus? Just have the practice players all out press every scrimmage? Not often a team can win by this margin with 22 turnovers. Elite night from beyond the arc tonight but if this team hopes to do anything in the post season they need to take care of the ball.

[All About the Corn]

Agree too many turnovers and OSU on Saturday will make us pay for those easily correctable turnovers we seem to make.
