One thing to watch is how the game is called. MSU will physically beat on us, daring the officials to make the call. How we and the officials react is key.
We are a better team than Illinois. We proved it 7 out of 8 quarters. So frustrating. Rutgers, Minnesota, Illinois first game, even Indiana. We coulda, shoulda been the 6th place team.
Another way to look at it is, The referees start off letting the play be physical. And as the game goes on the players get more physical and more physical and more physical.So something has to be done which is to call ticky tack fouls To keep players from actually causing harm to each other.
I was under the impression that The 2 Australian players on the women's team went home to Australia last summer signed a NIL over There and then return to play in United States this season. Why couldn't Keisei do the same thing this summer?
Connie Yori will never coach again and will especially never coach Nebraska again. She likes what she's doing. Watching film, game planning etc. And she does not have to recruit and put up with sometimes bratty teen-agers. It's no Coincidence that Creighton has gotten better with her behind the scenes work.
Did anyone notice Clark get fouled and fall to the floor and then rolled around like her leg was broken. But immediately running the floor full speed. What a drama queen.
Do I have this right. If there is a great free throw disparity in our favor, it is a well reffed game and we did a great job keeping them off the line. If there is a disparity the other way, the refs are crooked and out to put it to us. I did not mean to quote 49r but a general observation.
Regarding the 2 fouls that you refer to. On the 1st The Michigan state player Purposely ran into contact and then Flop backwards like she had been killed.On the second Sam Did not come close to touching her.In fact she went to the bench saying I sure flopped hard to get that foul.
I have a problem with her on court style when she flinging f bombs at the Nebraska fans behind the Michigan bench when they played here earlier. Leigha Brown or Caitlen Clark. Who wins t h e award for most disliked player in the Big 10. I know they are both good but they do n o t have to act the way they do.
