UConn plays good defense, by every player or they don't play for wonder coach. They play hard, but don't sub a lot.   I look for them to focus on our freshman Jess, and probably try shutting her dow

With the strong competitive drive you find in each of the Huskers, just having the chance to play UConn should be motivation in itself. Knowing what they're going up against on Saturday, this week of

Not too bad after the first half. Gave up to many "easy" baskets though. I can live with Stewart making those plays, she's just that good. Don't neccessarily like leaving her standing under the hoop though. I like the fight

I thought the ref wasn't going to call a charge on UCONN, then the girl is like what how was that a foul.

Theriot played well. Romeo was pretty good but I wish her shots would have fallen better. Way too many dumb turnovers. I was worried about that going into this but I expected we would shoot a bit better to help offset some of those turnovers. Didn't happen.

I think we miss those shots because of the foot steps that we hear.

Played a bit scared today.

Not bad just a bit.

Could see who was ready for this level, Rachel T. and Rameo didn't look scared.

 

 

Good Analysis Silver!  :ph34r:

But, having said that, DAMN; UCONN Ladies are GOOD! Something for our young team to learn from and aspire to!

 

Connie Yori did not give any post-game interview so I'm sure she is busy 'bucking-up' the team after this loss. 

 

Husker Ladies are a young, promising Team; And full of Pride. They'll come through this just fine - and come out ready to play against NC State on the 3rd.

 

I expect to see the Husker Ladies in the NCAA Tournament  nod.gif

UConn keyed their best defensive player on Theriot, and Stewart on Jess.

 

Romeo was excellent. And maybe surprisingly, Kalenta wasn't intimidated at all.  But some of us were. And we looked a step slow several times.

 

When we stayed with them, then they gave the ball to Stewart like clock work...just gave her the green light to go shoot, and that's all there was to the game.

 

Horrible passing and turnovers, maybe the most disappointing thing about it. We're too good to let that happen so frequently. Got to give credit to the UConn defense...they pretty much shut us down after the first half.

 

Maybe it was good experience, not sure. It can go either way....we learn and improve drastically, or let our sensitive feelings be hurt. I doubt Connie will let that happen.

 

But it was exposed, how young we are. We needed to have played better teams before UConn.....but we didn't to get experience it....tough choices.....not enough time.

 

Did you see Stewart's arms,  her hands were almost down to her knees.

 

I thought that call late where Jess was called for a charge was wrong. Stewart was moving and stepped in front of Jess...looked like a foul, but ref's weren't going to call that on the queen of UConn.

 

We'll see how we come forward after this.  Use it as the right way and it can inspire us to get better fast. If the girls are a little angry...maybe good things are in store for us.

I think you're right about Kalenta not being intimidated. And I thought Havers did some good things, too. Our conditioning isn't where it needs to be yet. Hopefully we shoot better the rest of the season. I think this was a good game to have for our younger players, for everyone really, because they will only get better as we go along. I'm all for scheduling UConn every year, and even throw in a Tennessee or Stanford here or there. Was Washington suited up for this game?

I was looking but it was very hard to see the players on the bench. .So I don't know.

Absolutely agree.
