I expect a better performance today.

[Bugeaters1]

Officials:

Angelica Suffren, Frank Steratore, Brian Garland

[Cazzie22]

The officials aren’t calling much.  Purdue is beating us to the 50/50 balls.

[Cazzie22]

22-12 Purdue.  Frankly, we don’t look like a very good team right now. Purdue wants it more.

[Red Don]

Purdue by 10 Pts - on a 9-0 run to end the Qtr.

We really look terrible. You never know what you’re going to get with this team.

[redsteve]

There's a lot of pushing, shoving and grabbling by Purdue going on.  Markowski was just talking to the official at the time out. 

[Red Don]

Tied @ 26 4:10 left in Q2.

The only consistency is inconsistency. It’s been the hallmark of Amy’s program for almost 8 seasons now. 

[Cazzie22]

36-32 Huskers.  Looked so much better in the 2nd quarter.  Alexis has been a rock and Logan and Jaz playing more inspired.  We are still clanking too many threes.

[Red Don]

Husker Ladies come back to take the lead by 4 (36-32) at the Half.

 

An 'Up-and-Down' Game!

We should be OK. Markowski has or is close, to a double-double already. Controlling the middle as they say.  Really like Nissey on the open court. Great BBall IQ. 

Pertrie is getting up to college ball speed...just needs a little more on the court time. 

 

Call the fouls ref...and we keep up the shooting percentages,  and all will be good.

 

Purdue isn't real skilled. Trying be competitive by beating the other team up a bit.

I’m starting to figure that out. When a coach and a program are mediocre for eight years there is obviously a problem. Talented athletes come and go, but this program just continues to be middle of the pack. 

[mwm89]

Would be kind of a coup if we can pull this game out, going back on the road after a quick turnaround.  Hopefully they will continue to pick things up.  Would be a 4th conf. road W by my count if we can get it.  GBR!

WBB Officiating is a Scandal 

 

Potts get tackled under the basket on Nissley's trey and Potts is called for a flop.

[Red Don]

Do these Refs even know what is going on 

[Montana_85 F]

You can't play consistently with this kind of officiating... goodness

[Fastbreaker]

White is killing us

[Red Don]

Husker Ladies catch on Fire in Q3 Lead by 11 at the end of Three!! (Led as much as 16 Pts during the Qtr.)

4 people Complaining about officiating, It's not going to change So what's the use of complaining everygame

For the same reason they complain about the coach.
