Going to miss the game live. Have a family deal tonight.

 

Anyway this is going to be a real test. Kansas's record is deceiving. They're better than their record. All the starters can play and score. They have better height overall. Lots of experience and older players. Their center Johnson is 6-6 and dynamic. Better buckle up for this one.

I'll be going 'Old School' with Matt and Jeff tonight.  Hope to hear "You Betcha" frequently.

[Tom Jones]

We are traveling tomorrow to Texas for a family Christmas - Lawrence is a convenient on-the-way stopover tonight to shorten drive time tomorrow so we will be seeing this game in person.  I will be looking for any pods of the red clads at the Phog 

 

[HUD]

This game will be an indicator as to how well we will be able to compete in the Big Ten.  Especially against the top half.

[hskr4life]

This is one you want to get to boost that resume come March.  A lower level Q1 type game is always a good thing.  A winnable road game.  Get it done ladies!

[All About the Corn]

I hope we have better ball control tonight. We can't continue to give up all these turnovers without it coming back to bite us.

I don’t get ESPN+ so I’ll be checking in here for updates that y’all post. Thanks in advance!

Nope, not paying for ESPN+ either. You can get Matt and Jeff ongoing game audio as well as game stats on Huskers.com. (I've used the game stat thing a few times on my phone when not home or in office, etc)

What the hell isn going on with Williams substitutions.  I have never seen such bullshit in my life.

[Red Don]

Kansas leads by 2 pts at the end of Q1

Stats at the end of the 1st Qtr.

 

[HUD]

I don't know why Moriarity is in the game.  Can't even throw in the ball on a simple toss in without a turnover.  2 turnovers in 5 minutes.

[Red Don]

Kansas on a 9-0 run; lead 23-14

You apparently haven’t seen many of her games….

[Red Don]

Kansas by 15 at the Half; 17-32

Halftime Stats:

Huskers need to come out to start the 3rd Qtr.

Any team with quickness on the perimeter is going to give us problems.  I have only been able to listen to the last few minutes of the 2nd quarter.  We are having trouble running any offense.

[Red Don]

Huskers cut into Kansas 15 pt halftime lead.   But Need a Strong Fourth Qtr!

We Need a 10-0 Run!!!

[Cazzie22]

Sigh!  I hoped we would be better but it appears we are middle of the pack. KU’s quickness stifled us offensively and if we can’t make three’s what do we have?

[Red Don]

Huskers fall by 17 Pts due to Kansas smothering Defense.

Your Final: 52-69

 

[Huskerfanzzz]

That was ugly. Why does it always seem like we just found out we were playing a basketball game two minutes before it started? I hope the coaches have a plan, because this isn’t going to work. 

[HUD]

This was one of the most ill prepared games that I have seen us play.  That's on Amy.

[12dozen]

I actually fell asleep in my chair listening in the first half.  Unfortunately, I woke in time for the 2nd half.  That was a 'clunker'.  Hoping the 11 day break helps.

[hskr4life]

We better figure it out... and fast.  This team is too good to be losing games like we did tonight.  It's not THAT we lost... though that does sting.  It's HOW we lost.

[caveman]

We actually had more rebounds, less turnovers and as many assists.  I wish I could have seen the game.  By the numbers we should have won.  Poor shooting was the problem.  The question is did we take poor shots or were they just not falling?  Here is my problem.  When you have one of the nations top shooters by percentage, why is she only getting 3 shots.
