Big test today. The Jackets are by far the best team we have played.  Anxious to see how we compete.  The season really begins today.

[Neb Nets]

Wish I could watch but I don’t get that network. Will be tuning into this thread for in-game updates. Give ‘er hell ladies!

I was just going to post a game thread.

Officials:

Dee Kantner, Tiffany Bird, Ken Nash

[Bugeaters1]

Nissley is available at least from the injury report.

[Bugeaters1]

Good thing Dee Kanter is reffing this game.

[Cazzie22]

14-10 Tech end of first quarter.  Sounds like a physical game. We haven’t hit anything from the perimeter.

[longtimefan]

I love how the announcers say Georgia tech is doing good on 3 point defense. We shot 7 and they were all wide open. No defense on them. We are so cold

[Bugeaters1]

Tiffany Bird is a shit show today.

Make a few 3s and the inside will open up Markowski.

[All About the Corn]

Another slow start is concerning.

[longtimefan]

I wonder what the record is for most missed 3s in a row?

To be fair, neither team is lighting it on fire.

 

[longtimefan]

As I say we make 1

[Bugeaters1]

What a shit show by the refs

[Cazzie22]

29-19.  Shooting has left us but we seem to be defending well enough.  We just haven’t faced this kind of talent and depth.

[longtimefan]

Well we can't shoot much worse the second half. This team pretty much lives and dies by the 3.

A pull up jump shot is a mystery.

[Bugeaters1]

Man the refs let the game get away from there in the last 45 seconds or so

We have players that can make the 10-15 footers and we just do not look for them. It is a three or a bunny mostly. 

[Huskerpapa]

Ughhhhly

[longtimefan]

I think we can all agree that this season took a nose dive when Potts was hurt. Even by committee They are not matching what she brought to the team

Honestly, can we really deny that one of the hallmarks of Amy’s teams year in and year out at NU has been living & dying by the 3 point shot?
