Extremely proud of this team. Biggest surprise team of the BIG.  A couple of breaks and it's ours.

 

Not disappointed at all. Just about... as good as it gets.  GBR !

What a beast. Clark with some clutch shots.

As much as I hate to admit it, she "clutched up" when it mattered.

Better get Australian TV.  She is going to be a success in any endeavor.  She has the “It” factor.

I guess I still feel terrible.  We coulda, shoulda, woulda won that game.  Down the stretch,  Iowa executed better and it cost us the win.  This is not a negative per se, Iowa simply has been there and done that, and we need to learn from this and take care of business as we move on.  Next time we ha e to execute for 40 minutes. 

That said, I'm very proud to be a Husker fan today.  Now, it is sweet 16 time.

Minneapolis - Nebraska took No. 3 Iowa to the brink, forcing overtime against the defending champion Hawkeyes before falling 94-89 in the extra period in front of 18,534 fans and a CBS national television audience at the Target Center on Sunday.

• Junior first-team All-Big Ten center Alexis Markowski tied the Nebraska school record with her 40th career double-double by leading the Huskers (22-11) with 23 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and a pair of steals. The Hawkeyes could only slow Markowski, who joined her Husker teammates in sending a strong message about the rise of the Nebraska program throughout the successful week in Minneapolis.
• With Iowa focused on stopping Markowski, Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year Natalie Potts added a huge game of her own with 21 points and nine boards to help keep Nebraska in control for most of the game.
• All-Big Ten guard Jaz Shelley added the 13th double-double of her career with 16 points and a career-high 13 assists to go along with six rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots. Her free throws with 2:38 left in regulation put Nebraska in front 75-67 after the two teams went to the fourth quarter tied at 58.
