Maybe with this team, but with four national top 100 recruits as freshman, they will be back quickly. 

And yet our freshman were better than their freshman 

[NUtball]

This team doesn't always put the most polished product on the court, but they battle.  Great win.

Feels like we somehow had the better coach in OT. should send iowas coach a thank you for sitting steulke for most of OT.

Road warriors!!  Almost looked like they were trying to give the game back to Iowa in the last 30 sec. of overtime, but gutted it out.  The moxie they showed to erase an 11 or 12 pt. deficit in the 4th was absolutely incredible!  There's still a lot of conf. play left of course, but to get these last two on the road is HUGE!!  GBR!

Was that game Big Ten protocol?

[Gamafn]

We had two big runs, one in late 1st qtr and early 2nd fueled by offense (3 pt shooting), and the other last 2/3 of the 4th qtr and into ot fueled by (dare I say it!) defense.  Kudos to:

our early 3 pt shooting

our late ft shooting and D

BRITT!

their poor ft shooting and coaching

Jensen is finding life as a head coach more difficult than she may have thought. Great win tonight. I bet very few media folks covering B1G WBB would have thought Iowa 7 games in conference play would be 2-5.

Here's the plus minus.

Gonna need hake to bounce back after this couple game funk she’s been in. 
 

petrie has done a hell of a job development on the potential she had last year and trying to fill that void left by Potts these last 10 games. 
 

nice to see nissley see the ball go through the hoop a few times tonight too. 

[Huskerpapa]

Very nice win!  Way to fight and get it done!

This was actually a big win... looking forward I see 3 W's, 2 L's and 6 50/50's.  Assuming we don't take a bad loss with the on paper W's, 2 more wins puts us in and past that were playing for seating.

Watched the game highlights this morning. We won again !!.    and read the final stats.  We shot a higher percentage in every category overall

.

In the 4th qtr. comeback we shot 72% field goals...100 % 3's (4-4).....and 72% FT.

 

In the OT we didn't make a FG (0-4) or a 3, but were 10-14 on free throws, which won the game.

 

We were 82% free throws, overall in game, and Iowa was 55%........a bit surprising considering Iowa used to try to beat you by getting lots of free....free-throws. So, in one sense we beat them shooting the ball.

 

In the replays and timeouts Markowski was on a mission, every opportunity she was firing up the troops, very animated in the game. 

It did seem the others did gain confidence and focus. She had never won at Iowa....until last night. She had the highest +- at 18....shot about 73% from the floor. 

 

Prince was awesome for a freshman having only played 10-15 games. She's my leading candidate for B!G freshman of year.

And there is Hargrove with 11 rebounds. She just gets it.

I'll float this out there....she should start with Markowski.  It could be like Markowski and Potts together. They could become a team, close to controlling the boards....and score.

 

OK, bye....sorry,  too long winded.

Was that Hargrove's dad and sister sitting behind the team?  They were wearing her number. Assuming yes, the little sister was really focused. Maybe a future Husker?

Unless they decide to try the portal. Players just up and leave on a whim now.

Not all top 100 High School players make great players in college.  We have two on our team both with the same first name.

Gotta love beating the dirty birds in I.C.

 

Love it.

Prince is earning her money tonight

 

Doing it at Iowa has to feel pretty good for Britt. The Iowa fans have to feel like more pain is about to ensue for their fickle fandom at the hands of Britt Prince and Nebraska!

Did anyone catch Coatney's comments before and after the game and Allison being nt out for the season? And if you look at the injury report she isn't listed as out for the season.

[All About the Corn]

I noticed no visible brace on Allison's leg. Allison could have a small tear and with time could heal on it's own. Depending on how bad it is maybe 6-8 weeks to heal so maybe back by B1G tourney time? It would be nice for them to confirm exactly what happened to her knee. If she does just have a minor injury then by all means I would like to see her back if that is what she wants to do. 

[Tom Jones]

was she in shorts such that a brace would have been noticeable?

No, she wasn't in shorts. but a brace is bulky and would be noticeable.
