12dozen

56 - 55 Huskers after 3.

I wonder what attendance will be listed. Looks like 200 would be generous. Found it amusing when Jasmine had to track down the basketball when Buffalo threw it out of bounds. Silver lining, not much of a home crowd advantage.

I think it is 39 - 37 Buffalo.

Listening on the radio, sounded like there were a few questionable calls, that went against Nebraska. Announcers mentioned the official by name, Mark Resch, and I got the impression, this was nothing new for this ref. Do we have a history with this guy?

Give her a couple of years with this strength and conditioning department, and we might not recognize her. The current team looks like they have bought into whatever the S & C department is selling. We might not get the number of wins we'd like this year, but there sure seems to be enough positive signs, for one to be encouraged.

Even from my living room (BTN), you could see Nicea contributing from the bench. Looking forward to her taking the floor. These kids seem to like each other and are having fun. Might be wishful thinking, but I'm seeing another Cady/Hooper type combo in Cain/Kissinger. Their games might be a little different, but they already have a similar chemistry. Early yet, but sure looks like we are on the path to better things. On the other bench, Arkansas has some nice players. Hope we don't run into many more like Monk. That girl can move. Didn't see anyone dressed in white last night, that could keep up with her. We just might have beat a tourney team last night. GBR

Washington didn't play much, but it was easy to see, she has worked hard to get into playing condition. A pleasant surprise.

Lady Husker game vs. Arkansas will be on BTN @ 8:00 tonight. Replay at 3:00 A.M.

Huskers.com also has a nice article on the signings. http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=211677302

Would the strength and conditioning program for volleyball, be compatible with what is needed to compete in the discuss, at the collegiate level? I'm sure she is talented enough to do both, but not sure we would see her best in either, if she tried both. My guess, she will concentrate on volleyball.

Prayers sent.

I wouldn't imagine UCONN needing to. My suspicions would be towards usual suspects, such as Mississippi State, South Carolina, Louisville, or maybe even Baylor. By "usual suspects", I mean schools that have been investigated before, not necessarily for WBB (but are successful in WBB).

I agree with Redsteve. I can't imagine, WBB, would be anywhere near the leader board, on a new AD's immediate concern list. I'm sure all sports will be watched closely, but any AD, worth their salt, will give her time. There seems to be quite a bit of optimism surrounding this program. Football, deservedly, will be the overwhelming focus of the new AD.

What a great representative for all things Husker. That young lady is due for some good karma. Thanks for the article.

Having a new "Big" for the next 4 years is exciting. Welcome Kate.

Thank You for sharing.

I wish her well. It just wasn't in the cards at Nebraska. Between the senior injury, rehab, expectations, coaching changes, etc., fresh scenery might be the best resolution for all concerned. Maybe, we can catch the Irish in the NCAA tournament in a couple of years. That would be a game worth watching.

Agree. Don't want to open Pandora's Box. I leave it up to those in the know, to use their better discretion.

I know at least a couple of player dads and other insiders visit these pages on occasion. Since things are slow and new info is scarce, could you share any information regarding the team? Do the players spend the summer in Lincoln? Are there organized sessions? How is Burns rehab coming along? How is the teams relationship with the coaching staff? Are the players close? Will last years transfers fit in well? Can we expect an up tempo approach this year? Does team conditioning reflect this? Are leaders developing on the team? Obviously, tons of inside information that could be shared. Thanks in advance for any news. Fans need their fixes.

Welcome to the Huskers Leigha.

A bit off topic, but I noticed Maddie Simon was one of 27 Nebraska Scholar Athletes that received the Sam Foltz 27 Hero Leadership Awards. Also, Emily Wood was one of 5 athletes that received an Outstanding Scholar Award. Congratulations Ladies. You represent us well.

Wouldn't surprise me if Grace or Maddie cracked the starting line-up. Both were playing well at the end and we need some size desperately.

I noticed Mariella Fasoula of Boston College is opting to transfer. Led the team in scoring and rebounding. Named to All ACC Freshman team. She's a 6'4" post player. No mention of schools she is considering.

Could be. Looks like they have been discussing a 4 year extension since last summer, but, don't see anything signed yet. I read they had a major roster overhaul prior to this season. She brought in 8 new players, 4 Juco's, 2 transfers, and 2 freshmen. Obviously, this quick fix didn't work.

Her choice of schools/coaches, might be an indication of her desire to reach her potential. If she selects a school, with demanding coaches, still no guarantee she will give the effort. If she opts for a less demanding atmosphere, enjoy it kid. You're only young once. I wish her the best.
