[Bugeaters1]

[hoop_head]

Friends, that was a thing of beauty.

 

Go Huskers!

[HuskerFever]

Congrats ladies on your 2nd trip to the Sweet Sixteen!

[hoop_head]

Love our team.

[Bugeaters1]

Really to me it looked like A&M was disinterested in this game.

[HuskerFan86]

Anyone who can should listen to Matt Coatney right now! He's getting emotional talking about how great Lindsey is. Really amazing moment in Husker sports happening right now!

I'd say the Huskers tenacity deserves credit for loss of heart sir.

True that.

Biggest win in program history!  Sweet 16 baby!!!!!!!!!!!

[Row6Seat10]

Complete team effort!!  We're going to be a tough out if we keep playing like this!!

 

Lindsey Moore.......just unbelievable what that kid can do!!!

[Bugeaters1]

00s is 3 dimes from tying the assits record and 4 from having it all to her self.

Wonderful post game show by Matt and Coach Smallwood. Loved the recognition they gave to Hallie Sample...she does so much for this team and played a huge part in winning this game. Offensive rebounds, setting screens, defending, finishing big plays at the end.

 

Also fun to think about how far this program has come. Ten years ago, who could've even imagined a Nebraska team beating a top 10, national championship-level program on their home court to go to the Sweet 16 for the second time in four years?

 

Connie Yori and her staff deserve SO much credit for what they've built and are building in Lincoln. If there are top level high school players in the Midwest looking for a program with the highest integrity, excellent player development, great fans, and increasingly better results in March, I think they'd be crazy not to look at Connie's program...

Well you would look into coming here unless you went Southeast.

 

Okay you know somebody had to say it.

[HuskerFan86]

Haha at least we got Shepard! She's going to be better than all of the former Knights anyways :-)

 

I think these are the kinds of wins Connie can point to in recruiting to show what this program is capable of.

 

So happy for this team! It makes it all the better when you know they are such great people off the court as well.

I was thinking it but was going to be nice.

I was thinking the exact same HF86. Big, big win in more ways than one.

What a game. I'm not going to lie but I had my doubts going into this game.  Playing A&M, a top 10 team on their home court was a huge mountain to climb.  We played about as good as we could.  A&M got out to a 14-6 lead and it didn't look good.  We come back and take a 13 (?) lead at the half.  A&M takes another run at us and comes within 2.  We build the lead back up and then A&M takes another run at us coming within 7.  We then hit key shots and free throws to thwart them again.  Love to see that kind of basketball. I hope we have another good game left in the tank.

What a wonderful win.  Just great to see!!!

And from a newspaper in Texjas a bit over confident. I seen on tweeter that Bellock had a quote saying that A&M was very good and if I were Nebraska I wouldn't want to play us. And I did see the the actual clip.

Just wanted to chime in with what a great job the coaching staff did with the game plan for A & M.  The way they fronted Bone was interesting.    This was just a great effort all around.  2 sweet 16s in 4 years is pretty special for Nebraska. 

[Row6Seat10]

I think one of the more amazing stats in these tourney games we've played, is our ability to stay out of foul trouble. Remember when the Iowa coach said "no team is that clean even in warm-ups"?

 

Our last two games had Chattanooga shooting 1 free throw and A&M only shot 2

i told my dad they are bigger, faster, stronger, deeper and more athletic, so of course we will win.  when he asked why i said, despite the afformentioned, they are not a great shooting team and i have a hunch double 0's is going to come up big.  i did not expect Sample to come up that big though.  what a great win and that was the best offensive excution i have seen by the huskers in a long time.
