Mich looks somewhat like us. Top half of B1G team.  Watched part of one of their game couple of weeks ago, and was not overwhelmed, but they seem to be ready to break out and could have a good game(s)

 

They're well coached, and organized. Have some quickness. Maybe a bit taller overall than us, so we'll need to fight for rebounds. 

 

Games on our court with our fans, so that's worth 5-10 points

i want to see something offensively other than 1) throwing to AM in the lane and 2) just coming across the center line, making two or three passes and then casting up a three.  That is pretty when it works but it can't be counted on working.  And when it doesn't it sets us up for getting far behind real fast. 

[HUD]

Need a big game from Potts.

 

[Cazzie22]

Phelia scares me.  I want to see better ball movement and better shot selection.  We don’t have to take threes.  Alexis needs to get down low and dominate.

Michigan guard Elissa Brett listed as out for tonight's game (but not with a "season" designation)

Yes, a little variance in the offense would help get some points on the board.

 

Speaking of Markowski there are articles in OWH and Linc paper today  about Alexis and includes some info about her friendship with Britt Prince and recruiting Prince.

The part that so confusing to me is I have watched Darian White play at Montana State before, and she was not this type of point guard at all. She was much more of a scoring point guard. She attacked and was much more aggressive on defense, resulting in more points off of turnovers. The way I see her playing at Nebraska is mind-boggling, and I can’t help but wonder if this is what they are telling her to do. If so, they really aren’t utilizing her strengths from what I can see.  I know that they really want to use jazz and AM as the primary offensive threats, but since that really isn’t working I wonder why they don’t give her the green light to play her type of game a little bit and see how it goes.

17-8 at quarter. Nice boost from Moriarity with 6 points.  We had a chance to open a big spread.

[Cazzie22]

How many bunnies is Alexis going to miss. Three so far.

[Cazzie22]

24-15.  We are blowing so many opportunities to extend the lead. Michigan is going to start hitting shots. 

[Husker22]

ugly game, good defense on our part but I also dont know what MIchigan is trying to do on offense. 

[Cazzie22]

28-19.  Playing decent defense.  Lots of work to do on the offensive side of the ball.  Michigan is playing good defense.  We had a chance to break the game open. It’s very much in doubt.  Jaz and Moriarity are doing a nice job on Phelia.

She sure cannot shoot for a scoring point guard

Well I just heard the announcer say she scored over 1700 points at Montana State and that’s with the shortened Covid year so obviously something is going in.

Husker Men vs Rutgers goes to Overtime (69-69)

[Cazzie22]

Crazy trying to follow two games.  Moriarity has been big. Alexis is MIA.

[Red Don]

MBB FINAL: 

 

 

 

[Cazzie22]

Kendall Moriarity played like I hoped she could play.  Jaz was good and Potts was her usual self.  This was a must win.
