Just my guess, but that may be as good as ILL can play. Don't think they can duplicate that in the 2nd half. But.... they're at home...makes a big difference.

Ga niet zitten op zondag. That's so weird....when I went to my translation tool, all it did was come back with this:

After watching the Class A final last night. I am all in on NU signing the Gessert twins. Was very impressed with them, particularly Neleigh. They look the part of Div 1 recruits, and to think they still have another year of high school b-ball to grow and develop! Let’s get them aboard, Amy & staff!

I'd rather have seen us attack the basket and get to the line on our last possession.

Big Ten crew?

Right now, we're tied with Wisconsin for 4th. We have the tie-break advantage over them currently, having beaten Purdue. Iowa is half a game back. If we win the next two, nobody can catch us. Unless there's some kind of tie scenario I haven't thought through. But we own the tie-breaker over Wisconsin and that won't change even if they beat Purdue at the end of the year because they'd only be .500 against Purdue this year and we're undefeated against Purdue.

Yeah, they've crammed a whole season's worth of late inning stress in the last 3 games Blow a 7-run lead before scoring the winning runs in the 8th on a passed ball and steal of home Overcome a 4-run 9th inning deficit to win in extras on a grounder to a drawn-in infield Overcome a 3-run 8th inning deficit and 1-run 9th inning deficit And that's on top of opening weekend where we lose a game where we were one strike away from winning it, plus we lose a game that was tied going into the 9th. That's a pretty strong pattern. Could be a season's worth of crazy finishes on deck.

I am thinking about these scenarios way too much. But I just want a four seed to avoid a bad loss and - according to everyone - we’re in if we win these last two. But when we get the double bye, all I’m going to do is look up possible opponents and path to Sunday. This is a vicious cycle.

yeah, and take note of her quiet/calm focus/determination in the fourth quarter. Trailing by nine against a very active defense - not an ounce of panic or even worry was evident. Also, when she got robbed on her way to the basket after a steal (I think it was McCabe who fouled her three times on her drive up the lane) .... no CC style antics. No acting out. No looks of disbelief - just got up off the floor and went back to work.

Remember 2 years ago when people were saying if we have to play Sam Hoiberg we are in trouble. Lets give Kennedi a fair chance.

Aren’t you on here? Aren’t you a people? You don’t have to be on here if it causes you pain.

The Rutgers loss certainly coming back to bite us. Those kind of losses generally do.

We let this game get away.

REFS ARE GARBAGE!!!!

Hake is playing a nice floor game. A couple of nice assists and a beautiful finish by Petrie.

Mawat Mag out for Rutgers

Feeding Markowski is great, but she's got to be stronger and make those bunnies. They're just standing and holding their arms up guarding her. Make the bucket or make them foul, or both.

Dare I say we look like a team that has had an eight day layoff. Didn't like that when I saw it on the schedule. yeah we needed time to heal up, but I think being in a flow (when games are played) is beneficial.

Halftime Stats: Illinois leads by 7. We never seem to play well after a long lay-off. Illinois last lost to Mich State 2/29; We last played 2/24, beating Minnesota

Nearly double-digit uncontested layups so far.

Illinois by Five Seven at the end of Q1 (Ill largest lead (Refs waived off a buzzer-beater by Markowski) (Refs waived off a buzzer-beater by Markowski)

Man, defense is sort of missing in action

We need this one. I had rather play Michigan St fresh than to play them after a game. The Spartans are playing very well. Get a win Huskers!

The refs today are bad. B1G officials are the worst. They have it in for Nebraska. Why don't they call it both ways. Unless we are winning, then they are generally OK.

In the first nine years of the 14-team Big Ten Tournament, we've either played first on Wednesday (7 times) or had a double bye to Friday (twice, in 2014 and 2018). No reason to play the first game on Thursday this season.

Pewaukee has won their first two postseason games and are now in the “Sweet 16” of the state playoffs. Last game, Janowski had 39 pts, 10 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl. Next matchup will be a tough test, going up against a highly recruited 4-star center and a 3-star combo guard with a few power 5 offers.

Hopefully Prince, Williams and the twins decide to “get the band back together” at UNL in fall 2025. Edit: Adding Jenica Lewis from Iowa to the table of offers. I believe she was named the MVP of the Iowa 5A state tournament this weekend, leading her team to the championship as a sophomore. Very impressive considering the number of DI recruits in Iowa 5A. Apparently Dawn Staley was there watching Bourage and Lewis...seems like both players are going to have their pick of schools. it's insane the level of girls talent that has come out of Iowa in the last decade.

I hope so. I don’t need the baseball stress yet with basketball still going on.

Maybe we should keep doing this “not playing thing” more often lol

If Rick is looking for lateral defensive quickness I’m not sure CJ will be his first call though and I love CJ.

I wonder if Tominaga's parents will be here again. It's not exactly like walking across the street to get here from Japan. Hopefully they will make it since he seems to play well when they are in the stands.

Bryce should have given his guy the "get up" motion after he made that three.

Out of the blue That's all people do on here is bitch about officiating

Looks like Minnesota on Thursday in Minneapolis.

It's just odd that football game times can be determined just a few days in advance, but a basketball schedule is set in stone in early October.

Someone on the bench needs to remind them there's a phase of the game called defense. Atrocious so far. More ole's than a bullfight.

So if the refs called it fair we would be B1G champs most years. Got ya.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!!!!!!!

日曜日は座らないでください

In the category of weird but true.... just for shits and grins.

We also have an exceptional Australian connection. We likely would not hear much, if anything, about a player from down under, until the deal is finalized.

Britt had 17 points and 12 boards I believe to go with a few steals and assists.

For a little perspective, in over 100+ Years of Basketball we’ve Won 20 or more games only SEVEN times. I don’t think that Fact is getting enough Run. It might not mean what it once did, but I certainly won’t shrug it off like a run of the mill event.

If a large lady spills a beer all over me I may be throwin’ hands this time. It’s happened twice, by two different large ladies.
