Oregon State post game chatter

[AuroranHusker]

Miss Jaz Shelley already. She repped her team with dignity, class, and integrity. A certain baller from the next state to the east could learn a few things from J.S. Love how well she did and how great she was as a person, too. Need someone to take over her responsibilities next year, a few candidates out there, including one coming off a 1 1/2 year layoff and another being the 4-time State Champ as a true FROSH in an 18-team Big Ten. It will be interesting to see how that all develops in 2024-25. GBR Always.

Thanks Papa

 

Here is the link to the entire press conference.  From around the 2:30 mark to around 5:00, Jaz and Alexis share their thoughts.  Kleenex advised.

I was not able to listen to or watch the Oregon State game but thought I had it taped.  But with ESPN switching networks all I got was a dog show.  I have looked everywhere I can think of for a replay but can't find one.  So reading the articles from the sports writers and reading all the blogs here I got a pretty good idea of what happened.  We played pretty good defense but didn't get or take good shots on offense.  Could one of you explain a bit why Alexis and Natalie were 5 out of 25.  Off night?  Poor shot selection? etc.  Thanks.

The Beavers had a size advantage at every position.  We were intimidated inside and they didn’t let Jaz get free.  Jaz had to be the set up player with no one to set her up for good looks at the basket

 Oregon State's height was an issue. add some block shots and i think that messed with the husker minds. got a little intimidated around the basket. 

defense just kept the husker offense out of rhythm most of the game. 

just a quick synopsis.

Corvallis, Ore. - Jaz Shelley finished with 10 points, six rebounds and seven assists in her final game as a Husker, but No. 6 seed Nebraska dropped a 61-51 defensive struggle to No. 3 seed Oregon State in the second round of the the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament at Gill Coliseum Sunday. 

• Nebraska finished its season with a 23-12 overall record that included an 11-7 Big Ten mark and a runner-up finish at the 2024 TIAA Big Ten Tournament. AP No. 12 Oregon State improved to 26-7 overall and advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen next week in Albany, N.Y.
• Oregon State's defense held Nebraska to just 31.3 percent (21-67) shooting, including just 4-of-20 threes. At one point, the Huskers were 1-for-15 from long range. NU matched the Beavers on the boards at 36 and won the turnover battle, 15-10.
• OSU managed to hit 40.7 percent (22-54) from the field, including 10-of-33 threes (.303), while going 7-for-10 at the free throw line.

Nebraska expects to return full-time starters Markowski and Potts along with part-time starters Kendall Moriarty, Nissley and Hake next season.  Kendall Coley and Jessica Petrie are also expected to return along with redshirt junior Allison Weidner, who was a starter for the Huskers in 2021-22 and 2022-23 before suffering a pair of knee injuries. Nebraska will also welcome two-time Nebraska High School Player of the Year Britt Prince and Illinois high school star Amiah Hargrove.

Huskers were overmatched by OSU's size and playing on their home court.  I didn't think they had much of a chance after the big deficit to start.  But, somehow, scoring only around 10 pts/quarter, they were still in the game in the 2nd half.  I thought if they had made a couple of buckets in the 3rd quarter to get close, they might have a shot.  But they couldn't hit anything, even with decent looks - nobody was able to make a game-changing contribution.  Once they started making a few in the 4th, it was too late.  Real good season with a couple of head-scratching performances peppered in.  Hopefully they can build a stronger roster for next year and find a way to be a bit more consistent.

If we could have hit for even the upper 30's on our FG think the outcome would have been different. Agreed their length made it difficult. They recruit length to keep up with Stanford which always has a lot of height. With all the changes in conferences will be interesting to see how teams change. But due think WBB will continue to move to taller players. Still will be room for the 5'3" or 5' 5" player but they will need to bring something special to the table.

Great measuring stick and learning experience.  Will be interesting to see how Oreg. St. does against N.D. on a neutral site.

OSU will be a part of the WCC the next two years.

Beavers advance past Notre Dame. Won despite so many turnovers but executed late.
