WBB: Game #10 vs Creighton

Here's hoping our Coach goes all out preparing for this one as I imagine she can remember all too well the barrage of "Over-Rated" chants coming from the Creighton fans in last season's game. I can't imagine that set too well with her or Coach Finch. I know it didn't set very well with me at all!

Take it to those Jays!

I know it's aimed at the mens team, But it is Creighton.

Here's video with the Creighton coach and a couple of players talking about playing the Huskers Saturday.

Huskers Host Annual Clash with Creighton Saturday Morning

 

The Nebraska women’s basketball team returns to action Saturday morning at Pinnacle Bank Arena to renew its annual series with Creighton.

 

Tip-off between the Huskers and the Jays is set for 11 a.m.

 

Nebraska opened a five-game home stand with a 95-75 win over Utah State. Jordan Hooper erupted for 33 points and 14 rebounds to produce her fifth double-double of the season. It was the seventh 30-point scoring performance of Hooper’s career. Hooper ranks second in the Big Ten in both scoring (21.6 ppg) and rebounding (10.8 rpg) through nine games this season.

 

Junior Emily Cady added her fourth double-double of the young season with 16 points and 10 rebounds while tying her career high with seven assists.

 

Creighton brings a 4-4 record to Lincoln after taking a week off from competition for finals. CU losses are to Oklahoma, Kansas, Drake and most recently, a one-point loss to unbeaten BYU. The Jays advanced to the second round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, are led by Marissa Janning (17.4 ppg, 5.3 rpg) Sarah Nelson (11.9 ppg, 5.8 rpg).

Thanks Jeff Griesch!

 

** This article's photo goes out in honor of one of our favorite Cornhuskers Katie Simon #14 and for her contribution to the Huskers, even though she didn't get to see the court as much as she or we would have liked. We wish Miss Katie all the best as she takes that next big step into what is known as the rest of her life !

 

Thanks Katie!!

Once a Husker always a Husker!

Nice tribute to Katie  Row 6

Huskers have got to clamp down on their three point shooters and control the boards on each end of the court. And most importantly limit our turnovers to under 10!

Really poor start. Let's hope the Huskers pick it up.

Wow, Sample in double digits.  This needs to happen more often.

45-30 with 13 minutes left.  Not an offensive showcase, but the Huskers are absolutely dominating the second half--CU has only scored one basket thus far since the break.

Good win. Solid bench. Sounds like T and B had great games.

Huskers 17-19 from the line

Very nice!

that's more like it, we showed up the way we are supposed to on defense. this is a big win by the way, keep in mind they did beat up on minnesota

It looked to me like Brandi was a step faster than she has been. And she shot the ball well, Also the wrestling matches still continue  under the basket I thought the refs were clean up that mess

Nice win to get under our belts! 63-38 Huskers win it!

Brandi Jeffery was my MVP! Great minutes out of the junior guard. She's earned her starting position back in my opinion! She had 11 points and 4 assists. Emily Cady with another solid outing. 14 points, 7 boards, Just wish she would connect on  the contested lay up more. Creighton held (no pun intended) JHoop to 5 points but she grabbed 15 rebounds. Hailie Sample scored 13.

As they did last year Creighton tried to double up JHoop and let the others try and score. Only this time it didn't work. Plus the fact they couldn't throw it in the ocean the second half. The Huskers tried to feed the ball all game down under and it worked great just wish we could make more of those bunnies when they have someone hanging all over them. I thought it looked like JHoop was pressing as she took some shots that normally she would pass back out.

As I mentioned great minutes out of Brandi! 

And this lady behind me yells get the ball and I told her thats it hard TO GET THE BALL when you are being pushed held and wrestled to the floor I sure wish she would keep her get the ball to her self. As it does get annoying.

Creighton only shot 2 free throws the whole game while the Huskers shot 19.

Only 10 turnovers! But out rebounded 41-39.

Flannery get mads at his players and stomps his feet alot.

5233 in attendance.

Here's something that got my goat today. I don't know why... (during the time out when they shoot Husker tee shirts into the crowd)... but they shot two into the Creighton section. Unless they're just not paying attention to where their shooting them I'm not sure. You're shooting Husker tee shirts into the crowd shoot them where they're appreciated.

I was sure the Huskers were ahead a bunch in the rebound department. But when I looked up to see how far ahead they were the Huskers were up like two rebounds. I guess getting only one O rebound will make the rebounds a bit closer.

Well they can wear them to football games next year.

 

I'll take that take back if the shirts said "Creighton Sucks" on them!

That was to be an up not a down. Best line of the thread.

Think I might get some of those shirts made and switch them out for next years game.

I gave you an up

thanks bug

Looking forward to seeing the team live Saturday against South Dakota.  What is the secret that Creighton has of putting the collar on Jordan Hooper?

Triple teamed her.
