My grandpa used the term quite often and to honor his memory I 'lovingly' address my many nieces and nephews as such. Just because.

If I'm reading the chart correctly, NU's free throw shooting defense is fantastic!

IU 67 NU 60 7 3's 8 wins

Wow! Never saw this kind of win coming with the way the ladies have been playing recently. Keep it going!

This was a fantastic effort. Defense and rebounding especially, are often more about effort than size and skill (but it sure is nice to have good size all across the lineup). If NU can harness this, they can do some damage in the B1G. GBR!!!

And good ol' 'Plantation' McDoofus nearly had a hernia crying for a foul for his baby after every one of them.

Man it felt good to dictate the way the game was going to be played to those sweatervested dorks, for once!

I think the ranked in the teens women's team lost today also. The early Christmas presents really rolled in the last couple of days!

Bowling!! That's about it. Maybe rifle. Generally non-competitive in everything else. It's quite sad.

First and foremost, Nebraska needs to find a way to not be down 33-7 at the under 12 TO. Seems like that's the typical way the games in this matchup start.

I only saw the last 2 minutes of the first half and then the second half. First live action I've seen this year. It was awful nice of BC to make the half time decision to honor their host and come out and attempt a spot on impersonation of a typical Nebrasketball shooting performance. I give them an A+ with bonus points for that. As stated elsewhere, Nebraska's defensive work in the 2nd half sure helped in that regard. Definitely a fun game to watch. Those type of games have certainly been few and far between over the last several years. This team does seem to have a good chemistry. Hopefully they can keep building on that, get a few upsets along the way and prove my season prediction horribly wrong.

You know, DONU has had some history of football players join the b-ball program to help out. Maybe a few of the b-ball players could join the football program?

Only watched a few minutes at the end of the first half after NU made the run to get back in the game and then Drake returned the favor. I have a feeling it's going to be a long year.

I think Cravens is probably a bigger loss than some might have thought, although a few have mentioned it in other threads. She was the player who did most of the dirty work down low and there isn't really a replacement for her on the roster right now.

Not likely. Crayton has a system, plugs in players year after year and they run that system very well, usually to near perfection against Nebraska. Fred certainly hasn't figured out how to deal with the way they play.

How much is the buyout?

If they can improve on defense a bit again this year and limit the stupid turnovers (looking at you, C. Clark), they will be tough to beat.

Big loss. She was typically the primary go-to player in crunch time. As Cazzie22 said, her ability to attack the rim and score or get to the free throw line will be hard to replace. Maybe Weidner can take up some of the slack - she showed some decent ability to get in the paint and score. Best wishes to Sam in her recovery. She's always been one of my favorite Huskers.
