    To much noise shooting free throws?

    Right or wrong ........it happens even in high school let alone college. The students have done it as long as I can remember. ......Kid stuff.

     

    Said early in the season....this group had the potential to be very good. Just been a little struggle to find the 5th starter that could score. Nissley L seems to fit the bill. Some of her shots yesterday were critical to the win. High IQ player obviously along with a wicked eye for the basket. 

     

    Late in the game I thought it almost looked like a box and one on the defense. And find out later it was intentional. My question .......So whose idea was that ?

     

     

     

     

    I think it was Lisa Bluders idea so that Clark would be held scoreless in the fourth quarter.  Whose idea do you think it was?  We do have coaches.

    Great comeback by the Huskers!  It was pretty obvious though in the 4th quarter being there to see that CC was not looking to score much, trying to setup her teammates more. 
    I’m sure they wanted the win but it pretty much backfired on them. 

    She did shoot 0-6 so I don't think she was holding anything back. Give our box and 1 defense a little credit Kendall and  Jazz as players of game

    As reflected above, there are multiple cases where NE is below average in B10 and some reasons it struggles to win when it does.
     

    But they are 7-5 with three road win.   Puts them in fifth place. You neglected those stats since it did not fit your agenda

    Clark will make a lot of money from her endorsements. She will get more that a few girls wanting to wear the number 22. Much like Jordan influenced boys and girls a like to wear number 23.

     Caitlin Clark is the most unlikable player in basketball. She does not have to be a jerk all game long.  Look at Paige Bueckner of UCONN.   Very good player with class.

    Creighton took a big step forward when Yori joined the staff.  They will be tough for us to beat as long as she’s there.  And, yes, I feel they have a much better WBB program at this time compared to us.  I am disappointed our AD is satisfied with the WNIT, because I never will be.  Guess that’s my problem (one of many I s’pose depending on who you ask).

    You are correct about Yori. Creighton never beat us when she was coach.  We have only beaten Creighton once she joined Flannery. ThAnks Eckhorst.

    A Hallmark of Amy Williams' Teams has been "Grit; No Quit" for as long as she has been here.  She has never had the most talented, or athletic, Teams, but what they have lacked they have made up in Determination.  However, I think the Talent Level may be starting to change.

     

    I don't think there is much chance of a coaching change next year, or the next couple of years, with the incoming talent, including coach Amy's daughter.   Amy has had some success tapping the portal before, bringing in Shelley, Bella, but unhappily a couple of duds too.

    But that doesn't mean that coaching Can't, or Shouldn't, step it up to take better advantage of the talent.

    Right now I think we are a middle of the pack Big Ten Team, capable of beating any other B1G team (well maybe not Iowa). But, unless we upgrade our talent level; and ability to 'Coach 'em Up, I'm afraid we may be relegated to the bottom third of the B1G in the future after additions from the old Pac-12 conference.

    I don't think we can beat Iowa, Indiana or Ohio St this year
