Nebraska (17-8) vs. Illinois (20-5) Game Thread

[Cazzie22]

Alexis was knocked down on our last possession and no call.  Our lack of perimeter quickness is hurting us defensively. Hake needs to find her shot.

[NUtball]

Markowski blatantly tripped heading toward the hoop.  No call.

[Cazzie22]

We have to defend.

[NUtball]

Keep taking it at Bostic - she can't afford to play tough D with 3 fouls.

 

Oh, and try to play at least a little bit of D on the other end.

 

And for heaven's sake, stop getting punked by Sideshow Bob (24).

[Tom Jones]

and just as i say that, she hits three in a row - and on one of them draws a foul!

[Bugeaters1]

need a stop

 

[NUtball]

They call a foul on that?

Lots of shady shit fouls

[NUtball]

No. 1 with a blatant violation on the inbounds play.  These refs blow.

[Cazzie22]

Illinois doesn’t let us get threes.  Their quickness hurt us.  Not terribly disappointed as we are playing hard against a team with 20 and now 21 wins.

[Cazzie22]

You grab loose balls.

[NUtball]

Punked by Sideshow Bob again.

[NUtball]

And that effing bitch just KO'd our best player.  Effing hog.

[Cazzie22]

Well, Prince will probably miss the next two games.

[Cazzie22]

Oregon and Washington were already difficult games and without Prince it’s that much more difficult.

Markowski scores 28.. about  half of your teams total points... and where are your forwards and guards ?  Nobody can win with that formula.  Just a bit short scoring as a team.   

Markowski is tough inside. A career high 28 pts and they fouled her on most plays.

 

Actually played hard at an away game against a good team. Nice guard play by Ill.  Got homered at times.....

Illinois is a good team. No shame in losing to them on their home court.

Honestly, we did well to get a split out of this road trip.  That said, we played well enough in the 1st half to be in game, but we needed to play better in the 2nd half in order to pull off the upset.  Illinois' play was a ways better in the first five or six minutes of the 2nd, and NU just wasn't able to get enough stops from there on out to even it up or get ahead.  Now to find out the status of Prince's injury. GBR!

Yeah as others noted we just needed production from other areas besides Markowski. The driving to the basket didn't work for us like it did against Maryland and we didn't try a whole lot to attack the basket with our guards.  They were obviously quicker overall.

I'd like to see the NCAA make that type foul a potential Flagrant 2.

Same refs that hosed us against Michigan and let the opponent hack us like it is nothing. That guy ref is something else.  They called it one way in the first half and then called it a different way in the 2nd half. 

 

Hargrove made some silly plays at the wrong time yesterday. We would be getting the momentum and then she would do something. 

 

I still think between Hargrove Bozan and Petrie dont understand the inside out game. So many times yesterday they would get thrown the ball in the post and not have great position. Instead of throwing it back out and getting into better position they just try to make something out of nothing and it would go no where. Its like if you throw them the ball dont expect it to come back out at all.
