That will be a tough one tomorrow. I'm just glad NU won the first 2 in Indy. GBR

 

[Cazzie22]

UCLA humbled us in LA.  I hope we have some motivation from that debacle. I don’t expect a victory but I hope we make the Bruins earn it.

How about this. I just tuned in to watch the game via DirecTV and the banner at the top of the screen says "Omaha @ UCLA". What the.....!

[Bugeaters1]

Bozan has good hands.

[Bugeaters1]

Again, let Bozan pound on Betts

We played a good 1st half. We're getting killed by their big girl with her rebounds and putbacks though. 

[NUtball]

Playing well.  Too many unforced turnovers.

There's just no good way to stop her.  She knows how to use her size and weight advantage with the knowledge that they're not going to call anything against her.

Shit shot by AW on that 3 point shot with 50 some seconds left.  Played a good first half, might take a perfect 2nd half to pull this off.

 

for being a giant betts gets a pretty soft whistle inside is seems while she gets to just push everyone around

Yep.  It's good to be a star player.

[LincecumFan]

UCLA is not exactly the most nimble team on Earth, they're just so damn big. Another thought, if the men's team had a point guard comparable to Britt Prince they would be a top 4 seed in the conference!

[NUtball]

And now the zebras begin to earn their bag money.  4 straight questionable calls.

Yeah and when you're competing against a team of Amazonians there's little room for error.

Constantly shuffles her feet when she spins baseline and pump fakes with no travel call such bullshit

That was a BS call on Prince

BS doesn't come close to describing that call.

If they call that at that time. The refs need to call that all game.

Gave 'em everything they could handle.

 

Refs took over the game midway through 3rd quarter.  I think they called only 2 or 3 fouls on them in the last 12-13 minutes before garbage time.
