be surprised if we see games that were similar to the ones at PBA and msu. i think this will be a much closer affair. GBR!

Huskers can win this if they take better care of the ball than they did against Minnesota. Make our shots, defend the lane and rebound, rebound, rebound.

[Row6Seat10]

Rachel Theriot showing she can score also! Hooper on the bench with foul trouble.

 

Huskers up 30-17 8 minutes til half

[Row6Seat10]

JHoop on the bench.....no problem!

 

Huskers up by twenty  39-19!!  3 plus minutes til the half

I see Bluder watching in the stands. She may have nightmares tonight if we keep playing like this.

[hoop_head]

Havers with some great minutes. Team playing well.

[Row6Seat10]

NU up 50-27 at the half!!!!

 

shooting 62% from the field!!

 

Keep it rollin Big Red!

[HuskermavfanChuck]

Amazing performance so far! Especially considering how long Hooper was on the bench with foul trouble!

[Row6Seat10]

Huskers have cooled off some but still lead big

Allie Havers coming in and giving some great minutes. Sample is becoming a rebounding machine in this one. 68-43 Huskers up with 6 minutes to go!

Showing we want to be B1G tourney champs... considering PSU and purdue both got bit by the upset bug.  This was an utter demolition.

 

You have to like our chances against iowa.

I think this is the Allie that was there all year, just needed to grow into the college game.

How bright does this program's future look. WOW

[Row6Seat10]

It's simply amazing watching this team when it hits on all cylinders!!

 

What can you say about Allie Havers!!  What a big stage to introduce yourself and what a big way to do it!

 

Let's get Iowa tomorrow!!

Well I guess you can be surprised as it was an A$$ WHIPPING In which I haven't seen In person. MSU tried very hard to rough the Huskers up. But as usual the Huskers were not fazed it and instead had sparty laying on the floor most times.

Yeah see was there from about the 10 minute mark of the first half.

So happy for Havers. Thought we'd see this type of performance next year, so glad it's now!

 

And how chill was she...saw her take some shots bordering on cheap and she didn't even flinch. Just took it to them.

 

Fun listening to the radio crew call, as usual. Jeff really hits my funny bone. And tomorrow we get some more and then Kent and Matt later in the men's game. 

 

I'm really enjoying Husker basketball right now. What a great time to be a fan.

As I said MSU is a dirty team, The Huskers took their dirty play and turned it into a blowout.

wow-------------just wow. didn't see this coming. thought husker chances were VERY good, but, expected a closer game. what a Sunday it is.

Great night for the Huskers.  So many players showed up big, none more than Havers, of course.  Which allowed Hooper to play only 23 minutes, which could pay off big today.  Perhaps lost in the Havers highlights was an unbelievable performance by T Laudermill.  I thought this might have been her best all-around game as a Husker (and yes, I was at the Penn State game in Lincoln).  Great job T!
