WBB: Game # 17 @ Northwestern

turns out to really be a tough stretch coming up: @ nw, iowa,wis, and mich---with home games against mich and msu thrown in. i really have no idea how this stretch goes. 2-4? 4-2 wouldn't surprise me either.

It could go 6-0 also but not likely.

What brand.

I'm guessing 3-3.  Not a good matchup this weekend against Northwestern.  They gave us all we could handle in Lincoln. 

If we can get steady and consistent play from 3 bench players these next four games our chances are very good.

I agree Row6.  I know that the starters were given some rest this week and that the 3 bench players were going to get a lot of reps.  If we could just get 10-15 minutes of steady play out of them, it would help immensely.  

The last 2 posts use the word "steady" with regard to 3 bench players.  We haven't gotten steady or consistent play from the 5th starter let alone the bench.  I realize there is always a chance that steady and consistent play will suddenly happen when it's been missing all year.  But I don't like the chances.  T and Brandy are 3rd year players in the program, and it sure looks like its a lottery each night as to what we get out of them.  Murren plays hard and can shoot it,  but is limited in size and speed for extended minutes. Havers has been an absolute turnover machine and they just can't keep her on the floor as a result.  Well, here's hoping for sudden, unexpected improvement.

i don't know what nw has coming in for recruits, but, glancing at their roster combined with watching a couple of their tv games---i predict this will be a team to be reckoned with for the next few years. may not quite be title material, but, could be top 6 and will give plenty of teams headaches. i believe they start 3 freshman?

if huskers go 6-0, Samuel Adams for everyone!!! 

I think the operative word in my previous post is " if ". If we can get 3 bench players to perform steadily they can make up for the starter or starters that may not be performing up to capability. The Huskers have been in every game in the league sans the MSU game and "if" we can get positive production from at least 3 on the bench we will be there come crunch time at the end of each of the next 4 games be it on the road or PBA.

WOW you talk about how ref's can control a game. The Huskers go from 2 fouls with around 3 mins left in half to having a lot foul trouble. And some phantom fouls.
