WBB: Game #16 @ Michigan St.

be disappointing if the huskers don't make this a competitive game. manage jankoska and stay out of foul trouble---and, as usual, limit to's. early in the game, work the ball and get into an offensive flow before looking for the perimeter shot. i just think huskers can make this one interesting.

Hopefully the coaches have been preaching for a better attitude and effort for a full forty minutes then what they got last game. I think they'll conscientiously know that they need to perform better if they intend to stay competitive with MSU. I agree with whoop they can make this interesting but they need 100% effort from every one who steps on the court on both ends of the court. Limit the turnovers, make your shots and control the boards from the get go are key in this game . 

I would expect Allie to have a huge game as this will be her last game closest to her home where she will most likely have a bunch of family and friends in attendance.

I think your on the wrong page.

i know u all hate Kearney but he may be right

I think they can hang a hundred on us tonight if they want to.

This has been really hard to watch!

Bad call on Jasmin.

msu plays faster than i thought they would. pretty good rebounding team also. merchants bench may be one of her best. clog the lane and make huskers shoot from out. ugh. then i read today msu got 6'4" sydney cook for next year. double ugh. i was so hoping huskers could make..........oh well.....wrong.

Our free throw shooting and our interior defense whether it be in a zone or man is is the worst it's been in 15 years!

20 point loss 93-73 

Rutgers next Tuesday. 

Huskers got the short end on some calls.

12 turnovers to 17 Assists

Is there light at the end of the tunnel?   Where is a victory on the remaining schedule?  It is a sad situation.

It looked like it several times Bugs, and it lead to frustration later...and it got testy. There were several fouls that were no calls on MS. One out front where one of their players intentionally tripped I think it was Hannah, to keep Hanna from getting the ball ....and no call...and one where the MS player come over the top of Jess's back (and scored)...,almost knocking Jess out of the way...no call. Jess would get hammered time after time...no calls. The flagrant fouls....were unintentional...no attempt to hit anyone...just happened in close contact. Is accidental the same as flagrant in the B1G ?

So later Jess had enough.

Likewise...we got called for almost invisible fouls....the game was poorly officiated. I can say it...so coach doesn't have to.

Michigan State is so much deeper and bigger than we are.

We start games so slow...and unemotional...we looked so unprepared...it's painful to watch. Tonight it was like the players got pissed and played harder.  The coach should have them better prepared emotionally.

Our interior defense like Row say's....inside defense just isn't there consistently. We sometimes get good rebounds, then the next time down we don't seem to even see them coming. We leave the middle open a lot. Are late getting there many times.....leave people open to give assists by the basket. Our defensive scheme just isn't played well...or ?

Yea, it's frustrating for everyone....just hard to see where we're going. The frustration is so constant.

Both Cincore and Maddie seem to be adjusting, and are more in control, concise and purposeful in what they're doing...not so haphazard.  ...good for them...and will help going forward.

Mine was just to tell him the pick a score is on the men's page, nothing more, nothing less.

It's hard to even open the box score right now.  All those tournie years seem like ages ago right now

Could this happen around Nebraska this year?

The girl that gave the first big shove should be ejected and suspended. And also any that comes off the bench to get involved in the fight. Put out for a long time to set an example.

In the men's game, the fouls are usually called pretty closely and immediately, but when the fouls are allowed to continue...bad stuff will happen sooner or later.

Don't know where the women's officials come from, but many are very inconsistent, game to game, and especially from different officials in the same game.

OK...that's my "official" ..officials rant for today.

completely agree with you, redsteve. imo, the way the game is (or isn't) being officiated is really putting a downer on the women's game. i am just surprised situations like this haven't been more common------unfortunately.

If you watch Jess she just get the shit kicked out of her all of the time. If I were her I have some pay back.

Jess does take a beating in pretty much every game and is often double and triple teamed. That's why I don't understand why some of you are so hard on her all the time. If our outside shooting was better it would allow Jess to be better.
