Yeah as others noted we just needed production from other areas besides Markowski. The driving to the basket didn't work for us like it did against Maryland and we didn't try a whole lot to attack the basket with our guards. They were obviously quicker overall.

Honestly, we did well to get a split out of this road trip. That said, we played well enough in the 1st half to be in game, but we needed to play better in the 2nd half in order to pull off the upset. Illinois' play was a ways better in the first five or six minutes of the 2nd, and NU just wasn't able to get enough stops from there on out to even it up or get ahead. Now to find out the status of Prince's injury. GBR!

I don't think I've ever been more proud of this team than right now! We blew a top 20 team right out of their gym! Basically everything that wasn't working the last few games finally clicked tonight. The three-point shot returned especially, and Markowski was persistent inside getting 20 points after missing a few close range ones in the 1st Q. Oh let's bring this energy and execution to Illinois! GBR!

Way to go lady Huskers! The effort and execution overall has been tremendous! Let's finish this!

I should hope so. I see the next two games on the road for NU, and I don't think the bleeding stops with those two.

teams have figured out how to stop Nebraska - take away Prince and our shooters setting up for threes around the perimeter.

Iowa takes Britt Prince out of our offense yet Olsen scores frequently.

Olsen has as many points as Nebraska does as a team. Fortunately we're getting points at the line because offensive execution is suspect at best.

Obviously NU needs to get back on track with a "feel good" win against an Iowa team that seems to be finding their way. Hopefully everyone is feeling better health-wise for NU so we can compete at our best. I had the opportunity to see them last Thurs. against UM at the Vault up close and personal, and did not afterwards log in to opine on the matter. Hopefully we play a whole lot better tonight! GBR!

Tough loss today for the women but not unexpected. They played six days ago while we just played Thur. night. AM is under the weather and didn't play much. IU executed much quicker than we did most of the time, and when you are outdone by your opp. making 3s 13-3 then it is almost guaranteed to be fatal. Unless you are getting tons of close range shots which is hard still to overcome that kind of 3 pt. shooting. Hopefully AM recovers and we play a lot better Thur. night against UM. GBR!!!

Nebraska basketball gets the sweep tonight! Though it's cliche this was a must win for the women tonight (even though all road games are difficult regardless of the opponent). In regards to the standings and seedings this was a game they could not afford to lose! Toward the end of the 3rd Q and into the 4th they built up a lead and held on after Purdue fought back. Way to go! GBR!

Road warriors!! Almost looked like they were trying to give the game back to Iowa in the last 30 sec. of overtime, but gutted it out. The moxie they showed to erase an 11 or 12 pt. deficit in the 4th was absolutely incredible! There's still a lot of conf. play left of course, but to get these last two on the road is HUGE!! GBR!

Hopefully she will come back with the same quickness and speed! With injuries such as the one she had now twice you never know. But I think either way she will be one of the quickest, fastest players on the court.

Unfortunate that a player like Shelley could not perform a little better in the ncaa's so perhaps she would feel a little better as she ends her career here. I know she's a team player so ultimately she won't look at it that way. I'm sure the others returning will remember this game and this feeling and it will motivate them moving forward! GBR!!

All in all a doggone good season. We did make strides, but of course good teams do during the season. I would hope the coaching staff will think about this game as they recruit moving forward. Recruiting seems to be on a bit of an uptick for the 2024-25 season so far, but let's try to get another really good player or two out of the portal and really augment this team! GBR always and forever!!
