Ohio State's...laconic...first half helped, no doubt. But Nebraska got Ohio State's full effort in the second half and withstood it. It's a really tough team. Especially Cravens. They've lamented not having a player like her for years. Now, they do, and from Eastern Washington, no less. Her contribution cannot be underestimated. She does precisely what the team had needed for a long time.

After the Creighton game, I was ready to call quits for the season and reinforced by the IU game. Man was I wrong. Happily wearing egg on the face. Difference.....they are playing great TEAM defense right now. GBR!!!!

I wasn't able to watch game...just saw the YouTube replay. The replay makes them look like wonder women And it's appropriate. Seems like the absence of Issie, may have made them pull together and made them give it all they had. Maybe it's weird to think, but they kind of played like Issie does. Unselfishly. Team ball. Cravers his improved so much...like said above she's the on the boards inside element we've missed so much. Porter has settled down and.. slowed down so much, plays much more team ball than when she started here. Has the feel of the game and the pace needed. Truly impressive today

wow.......i'll admit. gave them zero percent chance without bourne congrats to the husker players and staff!!!

AWESOME WIN!!! Love how they got Kate involved in the O, and her for putting the ball in the basket. Great sacrifices and effort by all. GBR!!

Keep playing like a team and good things happen. Happy for coaches and players.

Have been really happy for Whitney. She came in as a Nebraska kid walk on, and I thought she might just start out by watching a lot of the games. But because of circumstances... injuries, covid..etc.. she was given a chance. Her sheer determination, scrappiness, and hard work has really made me a fan. Her love for the game...a Nebraska game....really shines through. She's a good ball handler, and her 3 is coming around. It might be safe to say...she see a lot of floor time from here on out. Congtrats Whitney :)

I DVR most of the games. I've been known to forget about, or nap through a game. Still, I've never watched a game, more than once. Not deleting this one. Will definitely watch again.

Another game played as a team.. That's how it's supposed to work!! Thank God Amy figured it out finally because the time was dwindling.. Hopefully she can keep improving on it now because everyone does like her as a person

63-55. I wouldn’t have believed it. Many things went our way but there was some solid play from all the girls, all seven.

for all of the assholes that wanted coach fired, FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

imo, whitney has proven she is more than capable playing at this level. she deserves to have the "walk-on" label removed.

A scholarship opened up when Helms left so with the five recruits coming in next year we will still be OK with giving one to Whitney. Even if Kate as the only senior comes back for a fifth year we would still be OK since the NCAA will increase scholarship limits for one year. I have been a Whitney Brown fan for years but she has already exceeded my expectations. Take a look at conference only stats and you will see see leads the team in the very important assists to turnovers ratio. She is at 2.0 which is excellent. No one on the team is close to that. That included playing against some of the leagues best teams.

I noticed in the OWH, Abby Barmore has written the last couple articles, regarding Husker WBB. I hope she finds her way to this small forum. Sam has contributed in the past. It would be nice to get another "insider" voice.

She is deserving of a scholarship. Wonder when that will happen with all the other players coming in? Unless Cayton(sp) ends up going medical?

Amen! She also has had a couple of timely steals and disruptions of opponents' attempts at fast breaks. Having had a few games with only 7 players would have been games with only six (yikes!) had WB not come our way as a walk on.

I love how if someone doesn't agree with your thoughts, then you resort to calling them names and swearing at them. What are you, a spoiled 13 year old? Grow up!!!! This is a discussion board. If you don't agree with someone's thoughts then please try to be at least courteous in explaining why you disagree in the future. That said, I want to congratulate the lady huskers and their coach(s) on getting this short handed team playing so well. I'll be honest, I never saw this happening a few weeks ago. Actually I don't think anyone did. I hope they continue to keep it up. Kind of reminds me of Tim Miles last few games when he only had a few players able to play. Also congrats to Cain. Best game of her life here so far. Hopefully this is how she will finish out the rest of her career here.

Maybe Fred should show the video to the Husker Men about effort and unselfish play.

If I remember correctly, Kate already has at least one degree. Another year? She could graduate with a Masters? Multiple degrees? That would be exceptional.

Pretty sure the men's basketball can, so would expect the women could too. Maybe Kate another year??

Kate and Sam played big minutes.

Amazing the difference when u have kids that like each other and don’t care who gets the credit. Great job by the ladies executing the game plan. Gotta give the coaches and ladies credit. Girls r playing hard sharing the b-ball and cheering for each other.

I watched one of her games recently. She hit 8 out of 9 three pointers and had a bunch of other points as well. Taylor McCabe from Fremont is considered by many as the best outside scorer in Nebraska right now but in my mind it won't be too long before Britt Prince has that title. It would be great to see them play against each other in 4 years when McCabe is a junior at Iowa and Prince is a freshman at Nebraska.

It's going to be interesting for the next couple of weeks in WBB in the Big Ten. Our next 5 games are against the 5 teams presently in the bottom of league standings. 2 at home and 3 on the road. Rutgers has postponed 4 games in a row. We could win them all or heaven forbid lose them all especially if we continue to have injuries. Need to heal some up and have no new ones. Take one game at a time and be glad to just play. GBR

We moved from #70 to #58 in the latest NET rankings with games thru yesterday. Although they dropped from #8 to #13 I still think Ohio State is over rated.

I was concerned this might be the case, hoping for a speedy/full recovery. Moving forward a more coordinated Federal response should get vaccines to those most in need...

Prayers for a full and speedy recovery for Fred! And quite frankly all that are stricken.

And Hoiberg has some preexisting conditions. Hoping for a quick and speedy recovery.

Give her a scholarship. (We always seem to have a few extra anyway. ☺) Her enthusiasm, hard work and consistent effort -- not to mention 3 point shooting-- helps build a winning, team-first culture.

That ankle level pass from Kate (I think) after she had stolen/rebounded the ball to Whitney streaking to the basket for a lay-up was a thing of Beauty! She has Basketball Sense!. Sorry, think it's Annika to Whitney(mis-remembering )

Was not able to watch this game live, but i caught the replay late last night. Truly impressive! KC has had some good games as a Husker But I have never seen play like she did yesterday! A true force in the lane. No one had a bad game and I loved seeing the teamwork. I really doubted that this team would climb the hill that was laid out in front of them, and I am glad to say that I was wrong. But I am saddened at the name calling and the juvie taunt of one commenter and would hate to see this forum deteriorate into personal attacks. Members are not "a-holes" for having expressed an opinion nor does any expression of opinion deserve to be answered by a playground taunt. I hope that member will withdraw his comment and, for the good of the board, will not do it again.

They should wear the old Green/Gold Sonics uniforms once in awhile...

I think the ladies are going to pull this out.

Best I have seen Kate play. 45-36. Still have doubts if we can hold on but if they leave Whitney Brown open we might.

Here is a link to the on-line edition of the Britt Prince article: And Stay Safe in today's Blizzard, Everyone! And another Part to the Quote: https://omaha.com/sports/high-school/elkhorn-norths-freshman-phenom-britt-prince-amazing-team-culture-key-to-wolves-unbeaten-start/article_d77138c2-5691-11eb-8686-df7f46c10f70.html

I liked the part, stating Britt started very young, by dribbling a ball on the kitchen floor. Per mom, 'that was OK in our family'.

I like those jerseys. They remind me of those awesome black/blue/orange Mark Price Era Cavs uniforms.

I would think they'll try to reschedule as many as possible & be creative, if needed. For example, Purdue is in Lincoln Feb 20 and has a full week off after that - maybe NU & PU play again Feb 21 or Feb 22 in Lincoln. (NU plays Illinois Feb 24.) Maryland has no games between Jan 23 and Jan 30, and NU has no games Jan 24 thru Jan 30, so somewhere in there would be the most likely makeup date. Illinois and Nebraska both have gaps in their schedules the final week of the season (between Feb 28 and Mar 6), so that'd be an ideal time for a makeup. If we end up missing the Minny game, that one might be a little tougher, but we go to Minneapolis Feb 8, so maybe we play them twice on that trip (Feb 6 or 7). Will be tricky to make up the games, but certainly not impossible, as long as they employ a bit of creativity.

hope the huskers come out strong against minny......could cause headaches if knocking down the tre's. i think it will be a tough game. expect another game without bourne.
