  1. It's still not too late for something of a run This year. Remembering back to 2013/14, things looked pretty dismal, even well into January, We were 8-8; had lost our first four conference games straight, and Deverell Biggs had just been dismissed from the team. Thinking about what ignited our subsequent run? Confidence, starting with beating Ohio State in a re-match, then Minnesota and Indiana, then 5 straight wins & a season ending run of three wins culminating in No-Sit Sunday. I especially remember the FTs, it seemed like we couldn't miss once we got to the line, what was it 90-95%? I'm not saying it's Going to happen, But it Could, and it Did!
  2. Kent and Matt mentioned on the radio that the fans booed at Every call going against the Jayhawks.
  3. Nice Post. Nicea has really earned her minutes and starts. I'm pretty pleased with all the newcomers this year. We'll get more than our share of 'bumpy road' with the brutal schedule ahead but I'm eager to see the team gel & develop.
  4. Thank You, HUD. I didn't know you could do that, I'll try it out! Yes, it's a lot better than just audio; BTN+ is a bargain at $9.99/mo. Student U is developing a pretty good stable of announcers.
  5. OOPS, Wrong Sport (I thought it was Football!) (I was wondering how long it would take for someone to comment! )
  6. Where Do you get those marvelous pictures, Dimes? Here are the line-ups: (if you can see them - I seem to have some trouble embedding graphics )
  7. Lady Spartans live (or die) by the three. Lady Huskers shine in 83-61, 22 point victory over San Jose State, Jess Shepard deadly under and around the basket in the 2nd Half. Here are the SJS Game Stats (but I can't figure out how to embed them ) http://www.huskers.com/liveStats/v2/basketball/index.dbml?GAME_STAT_ID=2969466&db_oem_id=100
  8. Good Start to the 2nd half; leading 43-38.
  9. So you are saying there is a chance? (Looking forward to your 'Game Day Essentials.' )
  10. It seems like Kansas (fans anyway) are not taking the game too seriously. 447 tickets still available on StubHub starting @ $56. I'd go if I was in the vicinity, just to see the arena.
  11. Thanks for bringing that up Whoop. I've had the same problem with Huskers.com (although maybe not as frequently as you). I thought maybe it was just my 'Droid' phone but seems like it affect the I-phone too. I'll have to look into the tunein ap.
  12. Good Points HUD. I had heard that archive and replay were available, but have never used it. Do you know if you can replay in slo-mo (like you can in You-Tube, to say, review plays)? Looking at my post I was a little harsh on BTN+, when I really just wanted to compliment the Student U announcers. Without BTN+ we wouldn't get to see most of the WBB games at all, but there is no reason they couldn't try to improve the viewing experience.
  13. I don't want to sound like a but did anyone else think the Student Announcers on BTN Plus, Tommy Rezac and David Eickholt, did a Great Job on calling the game? They knew the players on both teams, and did a good job of calling the Action. There have been some really good Student Announcers lately. My only complaint is not with the Announcing, but with BTN Plus. Why is BTN Plus so stingy with the broadcast time. They don't go 'live' until the teams 'tip-off.' If your computer is like mine, it takes some time to get the video running properly so with just the 'blank screen' (your program will begin shortly) I don't know if it is really running (oftentimes I have to 'refresh' to get a picture or to start the action) and I usually wind up missing the beginning of the game. What does it cost them to provide a few extra minutes, like the intros, National Anthem, etc. I guess they really don't want to provide a 'game experience,' just the 'action.' Or the 'dead time.' This time they did show the halftime entertainment, but often it is just a blank screen; even a 'live' shot of PBA would be better than that.
  14. Creighton flops well; I'll give 'em that! Never seen so many Blue Unis fall down on the floor.
  15. Love the POWER CHANT! Here are the line-ups (if they post)
  16. He could come on over and feel right at home 49r. There's even a (pinned) Thread for discussing Creighton games (there are so many Husker football fans from Oma that it's almost 'de rigueur' ); Loyalties are so divided he could post on both sides; And even argue with himself! You're right, conversations are sparse, compared to HHC, so Anything to get a little more discussion going on HuskerMax's BB forums; But some posters are knowledgeable (I'm just not one of 'em ).
  17. Article in LJS "Cal smothers Huskers, but Williams sees rays of hope" “Our whole game plan was to be disruptive,” said Bears coach Lindsay Gottlieb. “We disrupted with our traps, with our guards, our full-court press. “I put on the board before the game ‘Be faster and more athletic.’ They can’t put that on the board. So 18 steals and 10 blocks is what we wanted it to look like.” The plan to pester Shepard also worked. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/womens-basketball/cal-smothers-huskers-but-williams-sees-rays-of-hope/article_7f5e6056-feed-5828-a022-f0b0ef291f61.html
  18. Holy Moly! Hope they show it on BTN Plus! (I don't think they typically show the halftime entertainment. )
  19. Either Matt or Jeff on the radio made an interesting observation, All of the fouls called on Jess were made by the same official (and I think he said the same occurred in last years game where Jess also fouled-out). Looking over the game stats, they seem to have left out one stat line (for cal at least), that is TFL (tackle for loss): but I guess they weren't calling those.
  20. Their fast pace and length disrupted our game, resulting in a lot of steals (we got quite a few steal ourselves ) and points in transition (whereas we had trouble capitalizing on our steals & finishing in the paint). Anigwe was unstoppable, we just had no answer for her. We do show lots of promise. Nicea will be a leader for us; it was good to see so many players do well and get on the Board. (Edit after game stats posted: Sure nice to see Maddie have a good game - second highest team scorer with 11 pts, and the distribution of scoring .ammong all the players.)
