All About the Corn

High School games are not 48 minutes. I think 32 minutes would be a fairly standard game length.

Yes a rested team and a great first half. Now we need to finish.

Hopefully we have Britt back and play a complete game.

Hopefully she was over shadowed being on a very good team. Also we do not know is she was holding out for another school and a offer did not come. We need players who will push Nissley and Hake. We really need a athletic 4-5, thinking 6'4" or 6'5" to replace AM.

Currently at 11 just below Iowa at 10.

I did not read the article. I just remember she uncommitted from them and chose NE. I think she had a few schools offer but no major D1 if I remember correctly. Correct me if I am wrong.

AM was going to go to South Dakota State before CV19 hit and made her rethink her school.

Nissley at 6'0 has the height but does not have the foot speed. Hake has the foot speed but at 5'8" can get into trouble with defenders 4-5 inches taller. Agree Moriarty really never leveled up from where she was at in HS. That happens sometimes players that look promising in HS just can not translate it to the college game.

We are now out of the 1st round bye in the B1G tourney. Currently at a 10. We need to beat NW and maybe need some help to get back in that position. Hope Prince is back for that game.

They should have played them, even if it was at a neutral location. Agree it is not fair the the rest of the league.

Last night IL played with 7 available players.

I watched the UCLA and IL game last night and it was said the B1G will make a decision by the weekend regarding those games.

Yes Hake has taken a step up in her play this year. What we need going forward is for her and Nissley to both bring it every game. Both have had games where they have been a non factor. Also we have enough guards even if Allison calls it a career. Will need to hit the portal for our 4-5s. We have good pieces coming back. Need to finish strong with 2 more wins before going into the B1G tourney.

Hake is a streaky shooter. Glad she was on tonight.

Karen Jennings is at the top with 48 points against KSU in 92.

I hope we get Prince back soon. Without her our road just got a lot tougher. So anyone hear how bad her injury is?

I would point out do we not go to work when we are less than 100%? I know I have pushed through after coming back from a illness. You do what you need to do. So maybe they are at 70-75%, well enough to play but that also says we may not get their best or their best will come up short on the court. We also do not know when they was cleared to play so maybe it could be a game day decision. We also know Amy does not like to share details about her players when injured or ill. How many times did we get the same old answer when we had players in concussion protocol?

While I agree we sometimes shoot ourselves in the foot (players and coaches). The last three quarters looked like a healthy team. Having 6 players in double figures, plus Britt had 8 assists. We need to continue to use Petrie in the post. I think sometimes we forget what she can do for us. This can also take some pressure off Alexis. Getting Nissley to feel good taking threes. IMHO she is out best long range shooter along with Rimdal. Hake is still a little too streaky at this point. A feel great win going into a road trip to IL.

It makes me wonder how long this team has been going through illness. While we started out slow you don't do what we did without a healthy team.

That was hard to watch. Olsen played with purpose tonight. We did not look good on either end of the floor. With Maryland and IL coming up would not be surprised if this streak continues.

So those of us at the game (not sure what was said by MC or on TV) noticed a large brace on Weidner's injured leg. I guess that confirms she will miss the rest of the season. I know there was some talk of not completely ruled out as it was said to be like a partial tear. The couple I sit by both think it is time for her to think of her future and call it a career playing BB. While I would like to still she her play I have to agree with them.

This game just shows how much we have a thin margin for error. I disagree on the officiating in this game. We need to get healthy or Monday's game against Iowa will be not be good.

We needed to bring our "A" game and with illness on the team that can be hard to do. Time to take care of homecourt.

Had a meeting last night so watched the replay after the result was known. While it was not the type of win we could have seen it is a win on the road. Nice to see Prince play well inside the 3 point line. We need more of that when the 3 is not falling. Granted their defense is not good so it is a little easier to get those looks but we need to take that when it is given to us. Will need to play much better against Indiana or we will be looking at a "L".

Yes some coaches do use a lot of players, and as we know Amy does the same here. One part is trying to keep players happy by seeing time on the court.
