A great lineup for most of the 4th qtr. Alexis M, Jaz S, Natalie P, Logan N and Kendall M. Good defense and offense. Two freshmen. Two juniors and one graduate. Very poised group.

All I'm saying is it would be nice to see Jaz have a hot night now and then as you won't get that from Krull or White.

It would be nice to see Jaz to get back to shooting the threes at a better % like the season she had 2 years ago where she hit 41% for the year but then we also had Haiby and Weidner to successfully take the ball to the hoop which helped set Jaz up. Remember when she hit 9 threes setting a conference tournament record against Illy?

I agree. After accomplishing every thing she can in college I don't think she will be back for a 5th season of college ball. The WNBA needs her and her endorsements will be huge. She is so competitive that she will want to prove herself playing against better players and teams. Once in a lifetime athlete. Her best feature may be her durability.

I have not posted for awhile partly because in retrospect in my mind I was getting too negative especially after a loss. Woopdeedoo has summed up my feelings very well with this post above. I think the team going forward may have found the missing 5th starter they so badly need. If K. Moriarity can keep her game at a some what consistent level we would have the player that gives us what we have been lacking at the 3 position. That being size and length, ability to drive to the hoop and good defense. I was at the game and really enjoyed watching the team rally several times getting to a 10 pt. 2nd qtr lead and then unfortunately giving up most of it due to the aforementioned questionable substitution with 3 minutes left before half. Same thing happened in the third quarter as well but the timeout coach took did stop the Purdue rally and started another rally for us. Going forward it would be nice to go 5-3 for seeding purposes but 4-4 is a necessity. P.S. I would give a lot for an upset of Iowa.

Our biggest problem may be the refs. If my memory is correct they haven't been kind to us back there.

Interesting. Thanks.

As TCU continues to sink it hurts our net rating a little since they beat us and once upon a time they were a Quad I team. Pretty crazy.

Need a big game from Potts.

I'm only saying that when you use statistics to look at some ones overall contributions a larger sampling size is better. They have not been contributing much on offense all season and this game is just another example.

To prove your point you just have to look at their year long individual player efficiencies. Not good for 3rd and 4th year players. Krull 4 Moriarity 2. Our 4 other starters range from 10 to 19.

My guess as well.

I was at the game. There were enough people there to make a little more noise but apparently we were all in the frigid mood like our shooting. I did set a personal vertical leap from my seat when Coley missed her point blank nobody on me layup for the second game in a row. She did play pretty good defense when she was in there. Potts not fouling out was important. I think our defense is good enough to slow down Minnesota's hitting threes a little but we will need to really be on in hitting ours to win this game.

I'll just say this and then move on. The past is the past. I like Amy Williams and feel she is doing a good job. Trev Alberts seems happy with our WBB program and I really enjoy going to the games and watching them play. It may be that my expectations are not as high as some other peoples but so be it. I never try to piss anyone off but maybe some of my posts are in haste or well thought out.

Glad you brought that up. I don't have a problem with criticism of the coach for certain specific things like substitution, lack of calling timeouts etc. That is a lot different then calling for a different coach.

Boy it's sure hard to keep you guys happy. Presently in 3rd place in the league. Two really good road wins. A win over Maryland at home for the first time ever. One conference loss to a really hot and veteran Indiana team. We have Improved recruiting. Maybe if we were at over rated Illinois we could bitch about our coach. They have parlayed last years win over Iowa into convincing people including the media that they are good.

A goal defending player that can also score would be great.

Logan Nissley, Nebraska Whether it’s being a spot-up shooter, coming off screens, or trailing in transition, the 6-foot freshman guard knows that she’s put on the floor to take and make shots, and she has grown more comfortable calling for the ball. With Nebraska’s guard-heavy team, she is also making the most of her minutes, already amassing five games with double-digit scoring and connecting on at least one 3-pointer in every game except two. In the Cornhuskers’ most recent outing against Indiana, she made 3-of-6 from outside and shot 5-of-9 overall for 13 points. Now averaging 6.8 points per game—including 1.7 makes from deep with a 41.9 three-point field-goal percentage—Nissley should continue to be a key scoring threat and a very valuable piece in Nebraska’s lineup.

I don't think so. We need a back up at middle and right side.

One minute you are playing in High School and the next the Big Ten grind. She is very smart academically and athletically. A really big plus is that her and Markowski really like each other which complements their play.

As far as getting beat on defense I can be more tolerant if a freshman does versus a 4th or 5th year player.

It's time to start Nissley at the 3. Wouldn't have made any difference today but would in many of the upcoming games starting with over rated Illinois this Thursday. She has a lot more of an upside than demonstrated by the person there now.

She was but I'm just saying that even though you are short, through hard work and dedication you can make a difference. Look at the 5-4 point guard for Wisc. She gave us fits. That's why I think Kennadi Williams also at 5-4 will be able to help us next year. They all carry some extra motivation.

You are right. We are improved but we as fans are are never totally happy. We could beat Indiana on Sunday and there would be very little if any criticism until our next loss. That is part of the human frailty.

Not having Allison W. this year took away some from Jaz's game. In the past they really played well together feeding off of each others strengths.
