Row6Seat10 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 A victory tonight will do a lot for our chances of getting a decent seed in the big dance. We have got to defend the three point line at all costs. We have got to get on the shooter and get a hand in her face. It has never been more critical than it will be in this one. They are going to be up in our guards faces pressuring the ball so the Huskers have to take care of the ball and keep the turnovers in the single digits. And rebound, rebound, rebound. Quote
hoop_head Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 That was so satisfying. Tear'a went off on those kids. Quote
hoop_head Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 And Sample's defensive effort. You could tell how much Lucas loved it. Beautiful team win. Quote
Cazzie22 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Sample might be the player of the game. Play of the game was Hooper getting an o-rebound between 4 Lions and hitting T for a 3! Anyone else concerned about the possibility of being sent to A&M as a 6 seed. Maybe we should go to Ames as a 3 seed. I'm not sure ISU deserves to be in the tournament. Don't want to play the Aggies on their home court. Seeding is a joke with the geographical limitations set by the committee. Beat Illinois and beat Purdue! Quote
hoop_head Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Did anyone get to hear Matt, Jeff and Lindsey? I'll listen later but I'm wondering if they said anything about the nuns seated directly behind the bench? BTN showed a shot of them. Quote
Bugeaters1 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Along with a lot of elbows to the chops of the Huskers and no fouls. PSU is another team in the BIG 10 that plays ghetto ball. I don't like PSU and I won't like them as long as Washington is the coach there. But I like Iowa less. Now back to the game Don't you think that as a coach when your team is sitting in a zone and a Player is throwing treys in with out a hand in her face you might want to change defense. Or am I just stupid Quote

I had to leave at half, wife got sick so I listened to the second half driving home and nothing was said then. Quote

Row6Seat10 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 Top twenty match-up on national tv an exciting offensive, spectaclar defense, high energy crowd with an unbelievable atomsphere on display at PBA. How many phone calls and letters do the Huskers get from recruits wanting to come be a part of that? Quote
HB Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 That was fun. We haven't missed many games since 1987, and this was one of the best performances I have seen. Place was intense and we just came to play. It was great fun sitting a few rows behind T's mom, and watching her celebrate all of T's great plays. So glad she made the long trip and was rewarded. Great job by the coaches and players dialing up the D against Lucas. Holding her scoreless in the first half was awesome. Quote
