Tom Jones

anyone here remember if the text messages that AS alleged CL sent her were said to have been on Snap vs some other texting app? I wonder if they are recoverable. whoops. instead of expecting others to look it up, I did so myself. The allegations was that the coach's texts were sent on SnapChat - where messages are said to disappear after they are read.

and not just for depth and toughness but someone with more than one year of eligibility to get us ready for next year when AM will be gone.

sorry to see that she has only one year of eligibility left, but her experience should help stabilize the position in the short term

what is going on at OSU? Is there any known or reasonably plausible reason for all these players moving on?

YES! I made that point a while back but neglected to include it tonight. If she comes along as quickly as Potts and Nissley, she is another asset. Seems like a long wait till November.

IMO, the Huskers did not play as badly as the score late in the 4th quarter might make it seem. Defense played well enough to win. There are always lots of factors, but the three that I think stand out are 3) shooting overall, three pt shooting in particular, and 3) blocked shots. 1) yes, the fade aways have seldom worked and AM could have passed off instead of taking some of the desperation shots, but a lot of quality open look shots didn't go. 2) if three of the misses had gone thru, it's an even game. 3) Some of the blocked shots looked like sure scores ... right up until the block. The game has become SO physical and the physicality is so inconsistently ignored vs foul called .. so much that teams have to have some players who want to be bangers and to have the mass to back it up - and really we don't. Had Mendelson been in the lane today - or against A&M - she would have been a bowling pin. Loved having Jazz. Just loved it. Too bad her last two games lacked the sparkle that she had become known for. I think that, personnel wise, the Huskers will be marginally better next year* and markedly better if Amy can add a banger with some heft and/or a long fast slasher. * losing Shelly, Krull, and White while adding Weidner, Prince, and Williams and a year of development for Hake, Potts, and Nissley will be a net gain. Maybe there will be more emphasis on adding dribble penetration to the offense and cutting down a bit on reliance on the three.

Is there any way fans can ask announcers to please please please .... TELL US WHO THE FOUL IS ON! A few times late in the game they did, but several times it was "looks like that one is going to go against Nebraska". Yeah, thanks, we could that from the direction all players are going .... but it's on WHO?

yes they are! We need one!

Loved having JS here for all three years. She has done so much for this team. Sad to say tho, that I think this was her poorest game at UNL. Hope for bounce back on Sunday

spring break among Big 10 schools varies greatly. Some start as soon as 2/24 and some as late as 3/23. Same with the schedule of final exams.

they are students. The away games during the regular season already keep them away from class so much. This already could get worse with the addition of west coast teams and the resulting travel time. Spreading out the tournament would require more sitting around hotels away from home time. I am really not sure how other major conferences handle their tournaments, but maybe somebody else has figured it out. Perhaps an alternative would be to have a tournament with just the top 8 teams from the regular season making only three games necessary to get a champion. But that really reduces revenue. All these factors, and more, interact with each other such that it's almost impossible to make one change without having to make others.

Why? 1) Because it may well be that, when comes the time to support allegations with facts - Scoggins won't have any facts. I am sure that those who negotiate and approve any restructured contract are fully briefed on the Scoggins-Love matter. They know what we don''t. 2) Because she deserves to be rewarded for the performance of her team and (hopefully) having maintained a stable program. 3) Because, given the number of head coach vacancies and AW's success, other programs will come calling. If, while waiting for the Scoggins case to be settled, we lose her, then WE join the ranks of those hunting for a quality coach whose system is conducive to the players AW has assembled and who can keep returning players and new recruits together. No thanks to that.

She, with her players in tow, takes whining to a new level! To win that tournament under the present format EVERY winner had to play three in a row. I don't recall ANY other coach whining about it.

ESPECIALLY NP, but also the other two freshmen. They too are bound for successful careers here

well that's intriguing. would be nice if she had more than one year left.
