I guess this must be just about the time they got the game down to a dozen points differential.

Follow-up!!! Final: Ostersund Basketball (Whitish) - 83 Helsingborg BBK (Cain) - 64

Fred mentioned in his presser that later in the game there were some instances where we tried to force-it, rather than Make the Simple (open) play.

In addition to just on laptops, BTN+ runs on a lot of platforms, some play directly on your TV ('Roku, 'Fire' and 'Apple,' and streaming services like SLING-TV, HULU, You Tube TV, DIRECTV STREAM). You can even watch on your 'Smart Phone' if you are 'on the go.' I use Apple play and No glitches. Only four more MBB games will be on BTN+ but the big benefit will be watching Women's Basketball where 18 games (including their exhibition game vs Madison State Midland Tomorrow) will be live streamed.

Actually it reminded me of some of our earlier Husker teams, when we couldn't buy a bucket for our lives. Toward the end they were getting into their groove (and cut the lead to a dozen points in the 2nd half. The thing that was most impressive about the Huskers is how they came out with all the energy in the world (Fred talked about this in his post-game interview). They lost a little of their edge in the middle of the 2nd half before getting their edge back and reclaiming the momentum. Two things I'm not as concerned about this year as before are players fouling out, with the depth we have, and extended scoring droughts, with the play-makers we have.

Well, This Game was Worth Getting-up Early For! Kent: "It's been a Happy Husker-ween!" Here are Your Final Stats: The Good: The Energy in the Team! The Bad: Rebounding

If this is any indication of the kind of play we're going to see during the season, it's going to be a lot harder for the refs to screw us over this year.

Kent sez: "This is Some Fun" This is going to be a great game to go back and watch again.

For once, we are so deep that I'm not worried about anyone fouling-out!

Seems like the refs need an Exhibition Game of their own to Sharpen-up for the Season!!! ...

If this game is any indication of the kind of play we're likely to see from the Huskers this season, I think I'd have a cardiologist already lined-up if I were Kent!

At least you (we - ie both of us) should be able to go back and watch the beginning.

HOLY MOLY!!!! Here are Your First Half Stats:

I don't think I've ever heard Kent as Excited!

Started off slow for me, I mean I had to go to Huskers.com & cidk on the link. but bye & bye it came up on my apple tv box (I'm a subscriber)

I think I'm liking what I'm Seeing!

So Sad to see any player suffer a debilitating season-ending injury! Best Wishes for a speedy and full-recovery!

Kate Cain vs Hannah Whitish (in Sweden) Cain to Clash with Whitish in Sweden https://huskers.com/news/2021/10/29/womens-basketball-cain-to-clash-with-whitish-in-sweden.aspx Live video will be available through this link and a subscription is required. The video is set to begin at 8 a.m. (CT) from Ostersund's Sporthall. Archived video is also available. Cain participated in WNBA Training Camp with the Las Vegas Aces is the spring of 2021 before signing a contract with Helsingborg in Sweden for 2021-22. Through her first five professional games in Sweden, Cain is averaging 7.0 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 28 minutes per game as a starter. Whitish, a 5-9 guard from Barneveld, Wis., was a three-year teammate of Cain's as a Husker. One of the top three-point shooters in NU history, Whitish closed her four-year career as a starter at No. 19 on the Nebraska all-time scoring list with 1,228 points. Her 258 three-pointers ranked No. 3 in Husker history, while her 470 assists rank No. 6 in the Big Red record books. A second-team All-Big Ten selection as a sophomore in 2017-18, she was a catalyst for a Husker squad that was the most improved team in the nation from the 2016-17 season to 2017-18, when she teamed with Cain to lead Nebraska to the 2018 NCAA Tournament.

Apparently from the WBB Scrimmage vs Omaha! (Well, at least it's SOMETHING! )

Good thoughts, Everyone! This season is such an unknown. With the Huskers being shut-out (Again), in the Big Ten pre-season rankings (https://bigten.org/news/2021/10/26/general-maryland-tops-big-ten-womens-basketball-preseason-rankings.aspx), seemingly they don't know what to make of it either. Like last season; this year, so far, is an enigma. Not much was expected from last year's team, but somehow, someway they all pulled together, seemingly through sheer will, to battle to a .500 season; and only one game shy of .500 in conference. Try as I might, I'm hard pressed to come up with an offensive identity for us last season (well other than getting Kate the ball under the basket), except great individual efforts strung together at critical moments to keep us in games and competitive (Sam driving to the basket, Ashley, and others, hitting treys or making plays at opportune moments). I believe it was our defense that kept us in a lot of games by shutting down the other team's 'scoring machines.' Grit! No Quit! Huskers! But enough of last season. Despite Kate Cain leaving, we'll still have a lot of Defensive Power with Bella & Annika down low; and Issie, Ruby, Mi'Cole, Whitney (apologies to anyone I haven't mentioned yet) to disrupt other teams' offenses. Nonetheless, I think it will the offense where we'll see the greatest upside from the incoming recruits. The number of three-point shooters was an eye-opener for me. This shooting talent should spread the floor, opening up the driving lanes more, that I think we'll have the talent (in addition to Sam) to exploit. This in turn should make for more opportunities for our 'Shooters' to get open, hopefully exploited by passing guards with good floor vision (vs seemingly getting all bunched up, along with the defenders, under the basket last year). No doubt those with a better understanding of the x's & o's will have a lot more input. We (and the B1G) will see.

At least our reputation is Intact!

Shut-Out, Again!!! (despite having a top 20 class )

And a (couple of) good Point Guards!

While we were at it I looked up the stats; and was surprised at the number of Three-Point shooters we have: (2020/21 season) Annika Stewart: 29/65 = .446 Whitney Brown: 20/53 = .377 Sam Haiby: 40/107 = .374 Ashley Scoggins: 43/116 = .371 (IIRC she she won the 3-pt shooting contest) Kendall Coley: 7/22 = .318 (partial season - only 12 games played) Issie Bourne: 19/60 = .317 and Jaz Shelley 47/112 = .420 (@ Oregon) Trinity Brady played in two games and made 3 of 5 three-pt attempts (.600) but there is a news void as to her status) So we Do Have some Shooters who can Bury the Three. https://huskers.com/sports/womens-basketball/stats/2020-21
