Minnesota (10-0) vs. Nebraska (7-1) Game Thread

[Cazzie22]

Today was my first opportunity to see the team in person.  I was very pleased at how we came out of the gate with the intensity and physicality to match the Gophers. The officiating was wretched but that’s nothing new.

 

Hake got us off to a great start with inspired and confident play.

Coley’s length on defense was a factor early.

Hargrove played her best all around game.

Weidner is showing some old form. When she gets to the rim she will be back.

Rimdal had a very fine floor game, leading scorer and 6 assists and was willing to get in the lane to initiate scoring chances

Alexis had a battle inside and she has more to come.  She battled.

Moriarity played with confidence in the 4th qtr.

Prince had some good moments and some sloppy play but she played the most. I liked her toughness rebounding.

 

Sloppy play continues, too many lazy passes.

Defended well but dribble penetration is going to hurt us.  Minnesota had drives to the bucket in 2nd half with no help side help.

 

Nice win and should get two more before Georgia Tech, UCLA and USC on the road.  Let’s not have a Lindenwood performance against Tarleton or Chattanooga.

Ummmmm.  It has disintegrated in all sports.

 

Ya know, technology is now available to reduce the bad calls.  Patrons go to the games to see the players, the competition, the athletism and the artistry.  It is time to change how officiating takes place (and I'm old school)

It’s just so inconsistent.  I understand that it’s not easy to officiate.  But today’s game was extremely rough the first half and very little was called.  I knew in the 2nd half more would be called.  It’s good that our girls were ready for a physical battle.

While I am not a fan of using 9-10 players a game, this is Amy's style and she will mostly run with it. Now there will be games where she will shrink her bench play to more of a quick break for our starters but those games are far and few. We will need to continue to have these type of starts if we want to have the type of season we all want to see. Thought Britt needed to call her name a bit more with her shot. Nice to see both Rimdal and Weidner play well. 12 assists and only 1 turnover between the two. Feel like Allison is still finding her way back still. She does play more fluid without any brace which is probably why she has been without one. Nice to see Hargrove step up today. Knew it would take her time to adjust to D1 BB. Not sure what is going on with Petrie but she has not stepped up which is why she has not seen a lot of court time. So someone needs to tell Moriarty she plays better without a shirt under her uniform. Agree on the turnovers as that will come back to bite us. Now we need to have no letdown these next few games til we get to GT.
