Rutgers (6-17) vs. Nebraska (14-7) Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

Rutgers hasn't won a game since December 5th. Will that streak continue, can the Huskers make it 13 losses in a row?

 

 

[Cazzie22]

Oh I hope so.

[All About the Corn]

Would like to see a complete game today. We need to keep building now that we are in February.

[Cazzie22]

Maybe we are playing down to the level of our competition. No one can convince me that Moriarity should be the last wing to enter the game. 21-20 at quarter

[AuroranHusker]

I was surprised to learn Rutgers is 6-17, when was Vivian Stringer's last year as their head coach???

No, she retired two years ago.

Disappointing First Qtr:   Lead by One.

 

Shooting FGs:  44% vs 64% Rutgers.   Treys:  17% (1-6) vs 60% (3-5)

Thanks, bug, surprised they're not great, record-wise. Stringer knew how to coach, recall her at Iowa too.

 

[AuroranHusker]

How does Markowski have zero rebounds in 8 min.???

 

[Cazzie22]

Nothing like being outplayed by the last place team on your home court.  Whoops, I am being negative.

Plus bricks at the FT line and rim shots.

Maybe she's napping. . .

29-up. C'mon Big Red, let's pull ahead of Buttgers.

The old coach from Penn St. Is the coach now

Gotcha, thanks bug.

 

[AuroranHusker]

Finally back in the lead, 38-34. Go #40, back-to-back buckets!

 

 

[AuroranHusker]

NU tied with Buttgers, 38-all, at the half.

 

C'mon Big Red, gotta get this one!!

Yeah, what's with this defensive effort today?!?

 

 

[Cazzie22]

38-38 at half.  We are in a battle even though Rutgers has turned it over at least 14 times.  They are shooting it well.  Maybe Amy can light a fire at half.  We cannot lose this game.  

[Red Don]

Halftime:   Tied at 38 Pts.   Lady Scarlet Knights are playing well!

Typical Buttgers game. They make it a bar room fight

  Believe defense is playing well; seems like Rutgers just can't miss.   They are out-shooting us in every category. 

 

We are getting a lot more shots in (i.e. winning the possession/steals battles; they are just not going in. 

 

Let's see the 2nd half.
