A road win here is vital if we wish to remain in the top tier of the B1G.  PSU is a much improved squad.  Owusu and Marissa are dangerous.  Hoping for a top performance from all.

It's stupid to have two game threads going. The REFS WILL BE GARBAGE!!!

What PSU is saying about us???

Markowski is a stud.  A double-double machine.  Not sure we can contain her.

Potts is a freaking freshman.  She complements Markowski...sheesh.

That Jaz girl is the real deal.  Her passing and timely scoring is a match up nightmare.

The rest of the Husker team can score and defend.  They are literally 9 to 10 deep, day in, and day out.

Even on our home court, this will be a difficult game at best.

Just saying...

Sorry......I was trying to be a bit funny or facetious.  

we worry so much about how WE match up to other teams; we sometimes forget that the opposition may have a greater issue matching up to us.

Gotcha, I used to have a PSU site in my bookmarks. I'm  trying to find one of their sites that covers WBB.

Husker Ladies off to a Hot Start, Early lead of 7-0 to the game!

@4:12 TO Huskers lead 7-3!!! Husker Defending Well & Lady Lions are off their game.

[Red Don]

Penn State comes to life. Huskers cool off. Tied at 12 to end the Qtr.

 

[Red Don]

Kendall Coley scores the 1st Husker pts, a Trey, in the 2nd Q. Penn State D is bothering Huskers.

15-24, Penn State @ 5:18.

Going to be a Difficult Game!

18-24 @ Media TO (3:28).

[Huskerfanzzz]

Turnovers. Smh. 

[Husker22]

we basically have no way to get a easy bucket from our guards, we just dont have any athletes. gonna need to get hot from 3 to win today and i dont know if thats possible.

[Red Don]

Lady Lions Lead by 10 (25-36). Bury a Buzzer-Beater Trey to end the Half (Naturally)

 

Husker Ladies are having trouble in making Treys, nor scoring well inside. 

 

[redsteve]

A zone defense may be appropriate to slow down their three's. We're leaving their shooters open too much.

 

Lot's of game to go. Must slow down their shooters.

[Cazzie22]

Our lack of athleticism is being exposed by the Lions.  We cannot press them because it gives them easy shots.  We cannot beat them off the drive.  I don’t know what the answer is but we need to heat up.

"0" took about 5 steps on that layup...not that it matters.

It certainly worked for PSU

[Cazzie22]

We are outmatched by the Lions.  We have no answers at either end.  Hope we can keep it under 30.

[Red Don]

P(s)U by 19 at the end of the Third Qtr.

 

 

 

[twister31]

The solution happens in the off-season. *MUST* change philosophy on recruiting and the portal. If you're not actively trying to bring in players who can put starters on bench, you're not really doing your job imo. 

[Huskerfanzzz]

Some timely threes from Jazz! 
I have no idea why Darian White is not in the game right now though. Hake is a better shooter, but she’s not doing much tonight, and her ball handling and defense are weaker in my opinion. Pitts should be in as well, we have seen her score a lot of points in a small amount of time, and we know she can rebound, and that isn’t something Kendall Coley is known for.  I continue to be confused by the substitutions.
