I mean, this game will likely be a tally mark in the L Column, but I’m just happy that it’s on regular BTN and I’ll be able to watch it. 

[All About the Corn]

Hoping we can have a better game today. Would be nice to see us hit some of those open shots and not miss so many bunnies. 

[Bugeaters1]

Officials:

Michael Price, In'Fini Robinson, Kim Hobbs

  Let's see how this crew does. Price has done B1G basketball before, then kinda disappeared only to been seen in the Pac 12. Price about run a guy I know at a game Lincoln a few years ago.

Everyone looks to be a go today.

[Bugeaters1]

Hake seems to have a little more quickness this year.

Are these west coast refs ?  They seem to have a bias.

[Bugeaters1]

of course that was a foul.

Yes they are

[Neb Nets]

Some may disagree but I think Petrie has better inside footwork and offensive moves in the paint than Markowski does

[longtimefan]

Their bigs are just killing us with lay ups and easy put backs. 

[Cazzie22]

Petrie came to play.  We need to be strong with the ball as USC has stripped us several times.  We seem to be more energetic on the boards.  This is tough assignment.

[Bugeaters1]

Make them foul you.

[Bugeaters1]

Does anyone notice the difference between Nebraska & USC?

[Bugeaters1]

Michigan did hang with these guys unitl mid 4th qtr.

You mean that they are bigger and faster? Yeah.

AH no.

[Cazzie22]

We are playing with much more effort and determination today.  We blew a lead of five but need to hang in until half.

[Bugeaters1]

Love the rim and a bunch of prima donnas for USC.

[longtimefan]

I don't mean to bag on Markowski but whenever she goes up against a quality post she disappears. Coach Williams needs to go out and buy at least 1 quality post for next year. 

[All About the Corn]

Nice first half again today. We need to come to play starting the 3rd quarter. Nissley has had a good start. Clearly had a off game against UCLA with 6 turnovers. Prince is making smart decisions. Will need more from Markowski.

Well I would think there is not much. Let us see how we do in the second half.

[HB]

Ref blew her Achilles it looked like

[Bugeaters1]

Did the ref blow a knee or an achilles?

My son is just coming off of an achilles repair.
