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.

Last time we played them they blew us out. this time it was pretty competitive most of the way. I was really impressed considering it's the 3rd game in a row. I hope we don't get the dreaded 8 or 9 se

That's what I've been thinking over the last couple of days.  Probably better to be a 10 seed.  Most of the time there's not a huge difference between 7-10 seeds, so an 'upset' isn't so unachievable - then would rather face a 2 seed instead of a 1 seed.

The Bruin's football team should convince her to walkon. She'd make a great pulling guard! 😂

 

Oh my goodness, I could hear her shouting at the ref "AND ONE!" when their big Betts made a shot late in the 2nd half.

 

Oh brother, gimme a break. She's eleven foot tall, she doesn't need no frickin' and-one. lol.

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!

 

I wish the NU men's team had Britt Prince herself. She'd be better than many of the PGs that Hoiberg acquired.

No secret here: Lauren Betts creates problems!  UCLA obviously has plenty of height, length and enough athleticism to be a difficult matchup for most any team.  That said, I thought our execution more often than not was quite good. Probably needed to play near perfect basketball to beat them, which obviously is very difficult regardless of opponent.  No shame in their game- I'm proud of their effort! Now on to the NCAAs. GBR! 🌽🌽🏀♥️

The projections as of today.

I really can't understand the love for Mich St.  This has them as a 6 seed.  Their OOC slate was pretty much garbage - went 2-1 against the 3 teams with a pulse, just happened to beat most of the patsies by a bunch of points - whoop-de-doo.  Had 4 semi-notable wins in conference (Iowa {early when they weren't playing that well}, @Mich, @Illinois, Indiana).  Played LA teams tough on the road, but lost both.  Doesn't add up.

They won by 11 and outscored us by 12 on the charity stripe, this isn't exactly science.  The problem I have, why did the refs let them play physical under the basket and not let us play physical.  Anyway it was a nice effort.

Betts.....such an athlete.... in the sense she is so huge and strong, but her moves are so natural and smooth. Obviously one of the best women "bigs" playing the college game.

It would take a twin to be competitive against her. Refs helped her a few times....she does have a tendency to make a slight double hop before shooting.

We could have focused more on a double team, but may not have made any difference.

 

But was impressed with our overall efforts....... played aggressive and tough. Not afraid of them this time. We haven't been hesitant or nervous most of last several games....it's almost like a kick a** switch was flipped, and it's go time.  Really fun to watch.

You aren't serious with that.

No, but the Hoiberg PGs have been disappointing this year.
 
I think AuroranHusker meant it'd be nice to have a point guard that was consistently good at shooting the mid-range can shoot the three can run the offense really well.

UCLA is absolutely destroying Ohio State today. Up by 36 midway through the third quarter. Makes NU's performance yesterday look all that more impressive. Also fun to see an Ohio State team get annihilated! 😂

I felt if we could have slipped past UCLA yesterday, we could have beaten OSU (unless fatigue set in).  Because OSU looks like donkey doo-doo right now.

I was also glad OSU beat Iowa in rather heartbreaking fashion the day prior. And then OSU getting smoked was even better. It cuts like a knife.
