  1. Huskers were overmatched by OSU's size and playing on their home court. I didn't think they had much of a chance after the big deficit to start. But, somehow, scoring only around 10 pts/quarter, they were still in the game in the 2nd half. I thought if they had made a couple of buckets in the 3rd quarter to get close, they might have a shot. But they couldn't hit anything, even with decent looks - nobody was able to make a game-changing contribution. Once they started making a few in the 4th, it was too late. Real good season with a couple of head-scratching performances peppered in. Hopefully they can build a stronger roster for next year and find a way to be a bit more consistent.
  2. Tough one to swallow. A bit of an embarrassing way to end a fun season. Bottom line is NU gave up 156 points in the last 60 minutes they played this season to more athletic teams. That ain't gonna get it done anywhere.
  3. The propensity for the 'lazy pass' against aggressive defense kind of reared its ugly head again. aTm was pretty bad on the offensive end except for the 1 girl. Seemed like Nebraska didn't really even try to make any adjustments to slow her down. She single-handedly brought them back and Nebraska didn't have much of a response. aTm was long and fairly quick, so it wasn't the greatest matchup for NU. It's not going to get any easier so they need to work on 40 minutes of consistent play. Hopefully, some of the less than stellar play can be attributed to nerves. I know zippo about the Beavers, but have to hope Shelley comes to play. She was pretty much a non-factor in this one. White looked good - looks like she's back near 100%. Nissley obviously had a nice game. Markowski did well after the early foul trouble. Thank the basketball gods for the aTm guard with the idiotic game-winning extended length hug on Nissley. You have to be pretty obvious about grabbing and holding the player to get the Stooges to blow the whistle in that situation, and she was. They had no choice. Monumental bonehead play to allow Nebraska to escape the epic collapse.
  4. Late in the UVA-CSU game, they showed a CSU fan in the stands with a shirt/sweatshirt that said "VIRGINIA BASKETBALL IS IOWA FOOTBALL" or something close to that. I got a good chuckle out of that. They were brutally bad on the offensive end.
  5. Well, I'll be dipped. Illinois is capable of fouling. Who'd a thunk?
  6. Getting burned by the biggest doofus on the court again and I'm not referring to Hawkins.
  7. Yeah, I think that really would have deflated their ramped up effort.
  8. Sick of Shannon getting away with all the pushing and shoving.
  9. Whatever happens, making Coleman Hawkins look like a fool would be the cherry on top.
  10. Arrange a kidnapping at halftime. Oops, this was supposed to be a response to your other post.
  11. Shannon is impossible to guard because no matter how out of control he charges in and how much contact he initiates, he gets the call.
  12. In recent history, Nebraska has been able to overcome the ol' "Dick With Ears" factor, so I'm optimistic.
  13. 2 terrible, horrible calls in a row.
  14. I think I've just seen the stupid Carlin Clark State Farm commercial more times than her career points. Puke.
  15. They need to pick up their efficiency to satisfy the bag men.
  16. Lawrence with another nice performance off the bench.
  17. Well, the Stooges got their marching orders at half.
