No White today, she is in street clothes.

Gotta wonder if for the rest of the season, White won’t be near 100% even if she does play. Wish the injury bug would leave us alone…haven’t we suffered enough losing Weidner two years in a row?

34-21 at half.  Wish I was there to honor the Seniors. 
 

Sloppy play offensively in the 2nd qtr.  Too many careless turnovers this late in the season.  Fortunately, the Gophers didn’t capitalize.  We played decent defense and need to come out strong and put them away in the third.

Good that Krull hit a couple 3s.

[redsteve]

Minn. is trying to slow us down, and doing a decent job. We need to get focused, and execute like we know we can. Cut out the silly turnovers in the second half.

 

[Cazzie22]

Kind of a lethargic game.  If Minnesota hits a couple of threes they might make it interesting.  I like that we are getting nice contributions from several players.  Tough offensive rebound by Logan that led to a Petrie bucket to close the quarter.

[Cazzie22]

70-51, very workmanlike victory.  Good to have a week off to rest and prepare for a very tough road test at Illinois.

[Red Don]

Here's the FINAL!!! HUSKER LADIES WIN OVER MINNESOTA: 70-51

A Win at Illinois should lock in a Double-Bye in the Big Ten Tournament.
