Red Don

How Strange, but I also experience the same gauntlet of emotions; But maybe over a somewhat lesser period of time - - Like every game! But, I also now believe! I think we are well within the reach of 20+ wins; and a return to the Dance! Oh, and as to the Above:

Nebraska 84 Kansas 81

And looking at the Box Score it looks like we really out-played them in almost every area (except FG % & FTs). Rebounds; 58-50 Assists; 21-18 (and Drake was one of the leaders in assists per game avg) TOs; 11-18 Blocks; 7-6 Steals; 11-5

Thanks, I see it now. There is a red box at the top of the Drake game page that you must click on to bring up the Box Score. (I hate navigating the Huskers.com web-site. It seems to work about as well as the Neulion (cr)ap they use.) Oh, and Great WIN for the Ladies!

Damn Bugs. I just went to Huskers.com and they hadn't posted (or I couldn't find) the official stats (Box Score). Wherever did you find them??? (Glad you had a safe journey.)

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the officials negating Nicea's basket was a bad call (rather just to highlight what bad timing for the radio to drop out). Officials took the time to review the play to make sure they got it right. As it turns out I'm just as glad they overturned it. If they hadn't Drake could say it was a fluke win, just after they (Drake) missed 2 FTs, either one of which could have won it for them. This way after battling to a draw in the first OT, Husker Ladies won by 5 in the second.

BTW: The Win @ Drake matched our total number of wins for ALL of last season.

I hear you. Streaming radio dropped out Just as Nicea made the basket to Win the game at the Buzzer in Regulation! YEAAAAA (only to find out refs had disallowed the score when the radio resumed - talk about the famous scene in the movie, 'Amalie!'). Then the radio dropped out several times in the OTs. I think it must be because Huskers.com has some sort of exclusive deal with 'Neulion' (for both video and audio, ostensibly to maxamize revenue - but it sure doesn't maximize the users' experience). Maybe the Media person for the BB program can help out or explain why the service is so poor. (BTW, sorry you couldn't get ESPN3)

Husker Ladies Defeat Drake in 2nd OT, 89-84 in a real see-saw battle , But hang tough, finishing strong at the end. Link to Game Stats: (from Drake BB Site) http://www.sidearmstats.com/drake/wbball/ No wonder we Won. Hannah played 42 minutes and Jaz played 41. Drake didn't have a chance ) (Bugeaters1 will post Official Husker Stats when they are published later )

We missed TOO many Bunnies. Huskers have the better athletes, but gotta say Creighton has the better coaching and team. Miles hasn't got Eichorst looking over his shoulder any more; time for Miles to pull out all the stops and let it all hang out.

Jeez, Officials can't even make a call when we're Trying to Foul!! GET RID of These HOMERS.

Husler ladies are in a see-saw battle with Drake leading 54-53 at the end of Q3.

Doesn't Jake know Creighton Never Fouls?

Must be momentarily blinded by the foul.

Huskers gotta Make those shots it they're gonna win!

HOLY MOLY!

Drake leads Husker Ladies 37-34 at the half. Let's go Ladies.

Same for all the players, at least on the easy ones. I think they just get so excited they are open & running down the court they over-rev.

Huskers gotta learn to finish the easy ones.

But, We gotta finish those easy shots!

I've never understood they negate a made basket that is made despite a foul. It outta be a made basket and foul on the defender +/- FTS.

Who ARE these officials?

I don't know if this helps you out or not, HUD, but if you have a high-speed internet service provider you might be able to watch on WatchESPN. Here's a link to this page: http://support.espn.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/How-can-I-watch-an-ESPN3-event?section=WatchESPN

Think you're right Whoop. I don't think we can outscore them so it'll likely be a defensive battle to keep them from scoring (they have 203 assists on 277 made baskets (.733), making them an exceptional passing team). It will be interesting to see our line-ups & mins on the floor stats. Hope Bugs can check in from time to time at the game.
