A road win is what this team needs. 

[redsteve]

A must win. We're tied in B1G standings. Away game so beware. We aren't playing well at all in away games.

 

Play like we did in the last 3 qtr's against OSU and we'll win. Play like the 1st qtr, and we'll suffer.

Just saw the starting 5 post on the WBB Facebook page. Wow, whoever it was on this forum that suggested starting Hake instead of Krull, you must have a direct line to the coaching staff! 
Y’all don’t think Coach Amy consults this forum to get coaching advice from a bunch of yahoos like us, do you?

Husker Ladies by 3 at the end of 1Q: 19-16 (on a jumper by Maddie Krull to end the Q)
Good First Quarter for the Huskers(didn't dig ourselves into a hole ).

Krull has been sick.

Is Coley dressed?   Nevermind, I see her on the bench.   Just no minutes the first half.

Why the heck can not Williams call a time out!!!!!!!

[Cazzie22]

Need to put Alexis back in we cannot afford to fall further behind.  Still too many sloppy turnovers.

 

I lost my stream on B1G+ so have to listen to Matt C.  

[Cazzie22]

Jaz has to look to score.

[Montana_85 F]

I'd like to see more fight out of the team... they just don't seem as focused or determined as the other teams lately.

[Redhac]

Playing horrible again as just hucking up threes with bad passes at times.  No points for Shelley as she is not creating anything!!

 

[Red Don]

Stats at the end of 3 Qtrs of Play: Purdue by 8: 48-56

We need some better offense.

 

[Merlin]

Only 2 shots by Jazz….

[Montana_85 F]

OK Lex that's what I'm talking about. 

[Red Don]

Huskers lead 65-61 @ 1:56 left!!

[Red Don]

Huskers 67-64 @ 0:38 left. Huskers will get the ball
 

[Red Don]

Husker Ladies WIN: 71-64

(AND the Men defeat Ohio State: 63-60 )

Thanks Alexis for putting the team on your back and carrying us to a win. Another double double and maybe 13 points in the 4th qtr. About 21 in the game. 

 

Nice job by Krull...gave us some drives to the basket when we were having trouble doing anything right. 

 

To many forced bad shots and weak defense on the perimeter.  But the women came through in the clutch part of the game

 

The Purdue coach is another whinner.

 

What an ugly win......but a win it is .

Maddie Krull kept us in the game with some nice attacking of the rim and Kendall Moriarity hit a huge three on a nice assist from Markowski.  Alexis really came through in the 4th quarter.  She is very effective down low. I have noticed she has trouble in the median post area.  I hope the team can gain some confidence from this critical victory.

This is a HHUUUUUUUGE win on the road in a tough environment!!  Sounds like it was a tough, gritty effort- particularly to erase a nine point deficit and without Shelley scoring until some free throws late (I was following primarily the men's game).  A needed win with in view a tough stretch of games against ranked teams and Mich St. no easy task either, as Iowa found out,  Needed to at least stay in that middle pack.  GBR!!   

[Cazzie22]

Amy needs to come up with some new baseline out of bounds plays.  We gave up a fast break on a steal and were lucky to get the ball in play on other attempts.  I also don’t like so much standing on offense.

[Huskerpapa]

Was at the men's game, so missed this one.  Nice win ladies!
