The following quote came in an email to season ticket holders who are wondering if you will be able to park in the garages and other lots or not before tomorrows game.

However, they are required to exit the garages by 4 p.m. to clear the lots for football parking pass holders.

As a reminder, Lot 18 parking pass holders were reassigned to the Green 2 garage for this game.

Missouri beat Abiliene Christian earlier tonight 52 - 46 One of these two teams will be in Vault Monday evening as the Huskers next round opponent.

The UTRGV head coach talks briefly about going up against the Huskers.

They should be pretty good opponent. They aren't huge scorers, but have some size and are more experienced overall, than we are at this point. They have large numbers on their squad...16 maybe ?

So, it will give us a chance to see if we have improved since last game. Will be able to see this on Huskers Insider

Is actual in the house today

Dayam! What a Game! (You can watch it free on HuskerNside - Huskers.com) Husker Ladies lead 33-24 at the Half. Jess Shepard hit a one-handed trey fm mid-court to end the Half. Husker Ladies are looking surprising good!  

Go Lady Huskers! 

(now 42-24 w/6:57 left in the 3q)

Lady Huskers Soundly Defeat Texas RGV; 71-53!  
Huskers never trailed in the game.

Next Up: Missouri, Monday Nite @ 7:00 pm, PBA!

Nice to get a W.  They may be hard to come by.  Sounds as if the freshman are going to have to play and play well for the Huskers.

Getting better.  Still to many turnovers, and sloppy at times, our full court offense (breaking the press)  was ugly trying to get the ball up the court....inexperience showed. But the hints of the young talent is there.

Really like the freshmen. Just need to get their "legs" under them a bit more, and better adjusted to the speed of the game. Sometimes trying to do to much, to quickly. But really liked what they could do... in just two games played. But in some cases were out playing some of our experienced girls.

They all forced things a bit. (whole team)....must have the go ahead to put it up. Would rather they aren't afraid to compete, than the opposite.

Hannah is a good one...has the Bball IQ of a point guard. Needs to get to the next step and shoot more. Nicea will get better as she learns to play at her pace, and not trying to do to much .....fun to watch ! Both just needs more experience.

We have a lot of 3 shooters...but need some breaks to the basket...back door passes, pull up jumpers (we need to work on them as time goes on......can only work on things as fast as time allows.)

As said before, sure wish Burns could play. We need another big.

Great game overall...going in the right direction for sure. Their super attitude is magnetic.

Nicea, Is going to be a very good player. And her defense will be special.

Well, it looks like this past week at practice we got better at least a little bit!! I say keep throwing the freshmen out there, we're going to need them sooner rather than later. And the more experience they get the better we'll be when the conference slate comes along. I thought Hannah Whitish has made the biggest strides from the exhibition game til now. Good to see Nicea get the start today she deserved it the way she played last week. Could even see improvement from Grace Mitchell, love the fight she has when she's out there.  

Missouri's is next and will be a much, much tougher test than what the Huskers faced today.

Here's hoping they don't decide to throw a full court press on the Huskers!

Also, cudo's to Darrian Washington she played a good game today. Too bad the previous coach didn't play her more where she could have at least had some prior experience to get her more up to date for this years team.

Hannah Whitish played some really solid minutes.  Our guard play overall was much better in the 2nd half but there were way too many turnovers.  We also rebounded better in the 2nd half. 

a couple of things came to mind while watching this game. (1) as whitish gets more experience, i think she could very well takeover out top (2) yes, it will happen but hopefully it's rare---jess and allie are gonna have to stay out of foul trouble. 

Coach Williams post game presser.
