WBB: Game #8 vs Evansville

should be a game where everyone gets involved. actually, this might be a good opportunity to work on the perimeter shooting a bit.

Yes...this will probably be one of the last few games like this, where we will probably clean the bench. Cal then...Still have a couple more games that will get us ready as we can be, for the B1G

Ostrander should be available to play soon...Volleyball ends in about 2 weeks. May have a couple of games about then, where she could possibly get a few minutes.

We're already strong on the inside...we'll see if she can get up to speed, at least hitting the boards.

Not much size on Evansville roster. We just have to take care of business, Seems like we're getting closer to that end, slowly but surely. Need a full 40 min. of intensity, every game, from now on....both ends of the floor.

Do you really see Ostrander making much of an impact? I know injuries happen but looking at the games coming up in the big 10 and unless it is a blow out I don't see it. I hope that I am wrong as all get out on this.

Sure, It's difficult to tell just how much impact she might have in the short/long term.  She does have B1G experience at a high level, and won't be intimidated by anything. That's a big part the battle in college athletics, for new players.

I see her as a defender/rebounder.."banger". She has a proven HS track record....almost 1,000 rebounds. (in Top 20 historically in NE)  6-2 or so, big body.  It's been my experience that many are "physical" players, or their not, from the get go.. even when pretty young.

Starting the year, the only freshman I thought was a sure thing, was Jess. But 43 and 24 have been better than a lot of us expected.... so soon.

No, don't see her as a stater or anything like that... who knows at this point how much she might add to the team.

Guess I've been pleasantly surprised at the improvement of Allie and Anya, and the freshmen...so another surprise would be great.

I have 2 lower bowl seats, Row 7, and a parking pass in Red Garage available at no cost if anyone is interested.   Would probably need the tickets picked up in southeast Lincoln.  Just PM me if interested.  

What are the odds on Washington seeing the floor today?

I would like to go to practice once Ostrander joins the team and watch her and Blackburn go at each other.  Will not replace 43 but both are very physical players.  Ostrander may end up being just a practice player but with such young posts she can bring a lot of leadership there just being around the rest of the team.  Also don't know when Washington will be back contributing.  It's a one year good use of one of the two unfilled scholarships we had for this year.

Simon has broken elbow

 Ouch.  This will really hurt us as we get into the Big Ten schedule.  Clark will need to step up her game.

Wow! Losing Simon hurts, I imagine that is a season ending injury.  Probably has played too many games to Redshirt.

Announcer said it was not basketball related.  What happened?

Simon's injury has to lead for more playing time for Cincore.  It is really too bad that Chandler Smith transferred.

43 is picking up her score.  Has 4 pts. thus far.

What happened to Rachel on the layup?

21 - 9 at the end of the 1st quarter. Jess is playing very well with 8 pts., 3 reb. and 1 asst.  Havers had a good first quarter as well with 4 pts. and 3 reb.

I know all injuries/broken bones are different, but generally bones take 6 weeks to heal and if you add a couple more weeks for being a major joint it would be 8 weeks- that would be the 1st of February. At least it is her non shooting elbow.

41 - 18 at the half.  Jess leading the team in scoring with 15, Havers had 7 rebounds and Rachel had 7 assists.  Team is shooting 55% while Evansville is shooting 23%.

Maybe another scholarship opening up?

Will miss her length defensively on the wing.  

Not much depth at the guard spots.  Clark is getting more playing time tonight.  Theriot may have to become a 40 minute warrior in the B1G season.  

Jeff Griesch is on fire. Double dribble and peptol. Love our radio guys. So good to see Clark hitting shots.

Washington must be so far back in the doghouse she can't see out.
