Coley hasn't played much lately.  Is this just a result of Coach giving minutes to the starters?  Or, is something else going on? She seemed to play well, the few minutes she was on the court recently.

I don't think the starters minutes have increased as of late,  I think as Maggie M. has joined the team she cuts into some of Kendalls time as they now have five healthy forwards/posts.  I did see her play a little at the three position against Penn State.

Today is about turnovers.  IF we keep them low we have a chance.  If we continue at our current rate we will get boat raced.

[Neb Nets]

Unrelated to today’s OSU game, but just sitting here watching Iowa WBB looking like a WNBA team against Penn St.  Don’t know about you, friends, but I’m pretty much dreading our upcoming matchup(s) against Iowa 

And Bluder still has Clark in the game halfway through the 4th while up by 43

She was so highly touted coming to us  out of high school in MN. Back in October, I was hoping/expecting this to be Coley’s breakout season. Still waiting. Still hoping…

[Cazzie22]

I am dreading the rest of this Ohio St game.  We are outmatched and out classed. 

[12dozen]

Looks like the top 6 teams in the B1G are clearly better than the rest.  We might be competing for 7th (and I like our chances).

[Cazzie22]

Wow! Ohio St is so much quicker at every position.  We look like a JV team.

[redsteve]

O State is about two step steps quicker, but we're getting up to speed.  We like the speed game too. They're just so deep with quickness and shooting skills. 

 

May be one of  the most aggressive teams we've seen this year.. Easy to see why they're #3

Seems like OSU is a really smothering defense; Double & Triple Teams,  all our shots under the basket are contested.

[Cazzie22]

Our post players have no moves when they get the ball inside.  We are very stagnant on offense. Too much standing around.

[redsteve]

Just checked on Ohio St center. She 23..(at least that's what the OSU site says), and played on her Slovakian National Teams for about three years before coming to the US to be a freshman in college. Started playing on national teams in about 2016...that would make her about 15 or 16 then

 

Played for the club team Piestanske Cajky for three seasons in the highest league in Slovakia. Helped her team win the Slovakian Cup in 2017 and finish runner-up in the Central Europe women’s league.

Good effort to be only ten down.  

[huskerchode]

Somehow, we’re still hanging around in this.  I’m impressed with Hake, and I thought MM lifted us with a couple of buckets and an assist or two.  AM seemed to play a little better after that.

[Cazzie22]

Hake plays with some passion.

[12dozen]

Coley had some nice minutes on the defensive end.

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats: Lady Huskers battle back to cut the deficit to 10 points: 32-42!

Yeaaa!! A three Point Game: 41-42

[12dozen]

For the 3rd ranked team in the nation, they sure do whine a lot (coaches included).

[Cazzie22]

I have to eat some of my words.  The girls have picked it up on the defensive end and are matching the aggression of the Buckeyes. Still worry about our sloppy turnovers but we have a good chance if we can keep this level of play.

[Cazzie22]

Not a good ending to the 3rd quarter.  I doubt we can come back from a 12 point deficit.  Our inability to hit free throws is dumbfounding.

[mwm89]

The effort is there but the execution not as much.  OSU is just shooting the ball better, and their overall team quickness advantage is making it challenging for us.  Keep fighting ladies!  Though it's not looking good now.  GBR!!

[mwm89]

Yeah we just need to shoot free throws better.  Gals get into the gym and shoot.
