Tarleton State (5-5) VS. Nebraska (8-1) Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

The Huskers should win this one easily. Tarleton has a NET of 197.

[Tom Jones]

main things I hope to see:  1) Markowski getting it into the hoop - we need 50% + for conference play; 2) Hargrove taking another step forward - playing with confidence; 3) ditto for Bozan; 4) Weidner making explosive penetration cuts to the rim; 5) ditto for Moriarty

Getting to like Rimdal more and more. She knows what she's doing. Makes few mistakes. Good awareness of where everyone is on the floor. makes assists....and to boot, she can shoot threes and drive to basket.  Third best scorer on team, and as a sub. Get's rebounds too.

 

You might think I'm crazy, but she reminds me more and more (as a player) of Jazz Shelly.

I expect to see effort out of the gate.  No more sleepwalking against supposed lesser opponents.

[Bugeaters1]

Officials:

Brian Garland, Angel Kent, Kelsey Reynolds

[Bugeaters1]

Not off to a good start.

[AuroranHusker]

Need to finish better around the rim... especially the post player(s).

 

 

[AuroranHusker]

Nice to see them push the tempo a bit. That 24' pull-up jumper from Britt Prince was so smooth.

 

[AuroranHusker]

Seems kind of crazy this thing is tied up at 13 after the 1st quarter. Tarleton made 3 threes, that's why, I suppose...

Markowski notched her 1,500th point after making her 6th consecutive free throw. Congrats Alexis on that milestone, only the 4th Husker to reach 1,500 points & 1,000 rebounds to join Karen Jennings, Kelsey Griffin, and Jordan Hooper.

they only make 4 game on avg.

[Bugeaters1]

This has been an uninspiring 1st half.

If it weren't for 20 points combined from Britt and Alexis, Nebraska would be getting smoked right now. And Alexis has had to do it from the FT line, mostly.

 

[AuroranHusker]

Nebraska's 8-8 on FTs and 4-6 on threes, and still only up by a few points is not exactly a great sign for the effort overall.... but at least NU seems to be able to score some easy ones at the line!

Now 10-10 on FTs and 5-7 on threes. Seven-point advantage for NU.

 

[Bugeaters1]

Nebraska had 8 layups and made 2 in the 2nd qtr.

 

[NUtball]

If I were running the show, the next practice would be 90 minutes of taking shots from 3 feet and in mixed with 30 minutes of the Mikan drill.  The amount of missed layups this year is mind-bottling.

[longtimefan]

It's a good thing we are playing a poor opponent or we would be way behind.  We are terrible at finishing at the rim.  Seems like we are getting outhustled  to much. I saw Hargrove have position two times and had the ball taken away from her.  She needs to get a lot more aggressive.  Also I would like to see her attack the basket if she can.  I don't remember ever seeing her do it.  This game is just like the game we played last week with a lesser opponent.  

[longtimefan]

I'm sure they work with Markowski taking shots around the basket all the time.  She just doesn't have a good touch around the basket. I don't think you can teach touch.  Her whole career has been that way. However without her we would have been in trouble and not won a lot of games .

[Bugeaters1]

Hey a made layup.

Yes, it's a double-edged sword, it seems...

 

[AuroranHusker]

Nebraska has looked a bit better with Markowski sitting, anyone else notice that?

 

[AuroranHusker]

Alexis needs to step up, she seems to be a step slow....

[Bugeaters1]

That was fugly!!
