I have 2 tickets tonight if anyone wants them. I don't think I am going to chance it with the weather of making it back home afterwards. $20

Guess I'm getting old. I don't want to drive home and the snow in the cold 10 years ago. What about her me or even 5.

I work in Lincoln and have a 32 mile trip home. While I would like to go tonight I think It would be safer to get home before most of this stuff starts. Plus it is on BTN.

If I'm remembering correctly Illinois was the preseason number 5.  They also played Indiana within 6pts., so I'm thinking this will probably be a much tougher game than the records indicate.

Cheer loud for, whoever is going to make it

[Cazzie22]

We will have our hands full. We cannot afford another home loss.  I won’t be making the drive tonight. Hope to see the Iowa game at home.

Better than a 100+ mile drive.

[All About the Corn]

Yes my drive compared to a few of you is a real easy. I appreciate those of you who make the long trip each home game.

77% of Nissley’s field goal attempts are 3s??

Nice first 5 sloppy second 5.  Guess we want to play a close one.

Husker Ladies Lead by 5 (18-13) at the end of Q1 (was a 14 pt lead, Illinois with a 9-0 run to end the Qtr)

Husker Ladies by 5 (28-23) @ TO (4:47)

[Red Don]

One Point game at the Half 30-29
After a Blazing Hot Start where Husker Ladies went out to a 18-4 lead , Illinois started making treys and about a 5 point game since.
Huskers have missed several lay-ups. (Anybody's Game in the 2nd Half)


Halftime Stats:

 

[Cazzie22]

Not pleased with our offense.  If we hit threes it looks effective.  We can drive them but cannot finish.  Alexis needs to get on the low block and stay there.  She isn’t being efficient anywhere else.  We are in for a battle.

[colhusker]

Does that say we are shooting 12%

[redsteve]

32 % which not good,

[colhusker]

Okay pulled it up, 32% much better.

Halftime Stats:

[mwm89]

After a good start we struggled offensively as IU became more aggressive on D.  This is not a game you want to lose in terms of the standings, esp. being at home, so  hopefully we can execute better in the 2nd half and hit shots like we started out.  Also need to continue to be aggressive on D.  GBR!
