All About the Corn

I like Staley as a coach. I am fine with any team but UCONN.

One thing NE has lacked is a shooter who can be a consistent threat from 3 for 4 years. Kissinger could have been that for us for she had the bug before she got to Lincoln.

Definitely some good games from B1G players in this years NCAA. Watching Owusu play she reminds me of Charles Barkley. Clark may own the POY for the next three in the B1G. Leigha Brown had her best/most complete game against Baylor.

I did not get to see the TX/Maryland game. So maybe TX watched the NE/Maryland B1G tourney game and learned something?

That HUD is part of the problem with WBB. It happens in the B1G with Maryland. They get calls for them because of their post seasons. Too many times the top teams get a pass or 2 on calls because in their (ref) minds no 2 should lose to a 14. Or in our case no 1 should lose to an 8 in the B1G. Yes in normal years we get a nice fat check for being a member of the B1G but their comes a time when we the fans, and those reporting/calling games need to start holding their feet to the fire.

Michigan just exerted their will on TN. Played good defense. Brown had 4 inbound plays against FGC and 2-3 against TN that was money. One thing NE needs to get better at for next year.

Clark just does so many things well and is a pleasure to watch. It could be a long three more years for us while she is at Iowa.

I think she was using crutches last time I saw her on the sidelines. I believe it was her knee.

Speaking of Rutgers and their mugging I mean defense. Matt C made the comment about enjoying a defensive game after our win this year. Now I do not mind some defense but what they play IMHO has no place in the game anymore. It is not an enjoyable game to watch or listen to. Now maybe that is just me. After 50 years it's time she hangs up her clipboard.

With all of this crazy stuff allowing a "free" year, it will screw some class over at some point. Whether is be Kate's class or the incoming freshman or the class after them. I do not agree with what the NCAA did. Did high school seniors get extra time on things they missed? No. IMHO not only does Kate have think over her status but also maybe think what is best for the team going forward. We are lucky we only have her with that decision to make. What if we has 4-5 seniors needing to make that choice. Kind of think the VB team with 4 seniors will not have any of them return in the fall. Lexi and Lauren both should have chances to play professionally and Hayley and both Jazz I see ready to move on with their lives. Tough choices to make.

Brown went off for 19 points in the 3rd quarter. Finally looks like she did before CV19 shut her down for 39 days.

Interesting that Sam shot so little today. As it turned out we did not need her but that will not be the story going forward.

Well considering it only took her 3 years to get a BA I am not shocked to learn to has already completed her MA in a year.

I think Kate moves on. Agree she will finish her Masters but it may not be here. She may get drafted in the 2nd round of the WNBA. She also should get offers to play overseas. Up to her is she wants to go that route. It is not for everyone even without CV19 making waves being in another country.

HUD - While we match up well against MSU there is no guarantee we would have beaten MSU. That is why they play the game. Compare it to Maryland and NE yesterday. Maryland on paper should take care of us with little problem be we gave them a strong test yesterday and maybe should have won with some calls going our way. Watched the Mich. and NW game. Michigan is not the same team as before all of this CV19 messed with them. Brown played much better before her long CV19 break. Not really surprised they lost. Did not see the Ind./ MSU game. I did watch the IA/Rutgers game and not really surprised IA won. Bluder is a good coach and gets the most out of her players. IMHO Rutgers just does not play an entertaining game to watch.

I wonder how many times teams like Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan get a favorable call?

Officiating is tilted to Maryland because the B1G know they best chance of making a run in the NCAA's is with them. It has been that way for years. Those calls will continue to go against us.

Could be interesting if CV19 shuts some teams down.

I think some of this can be traced to CV19 and you need to be in a group as much as possible. I think we have done a good job of managing that compared to other schools in the B1G. I know listening to the volleyball team talk about how much they get along and would think much the same story with the WBB team.

I would think both called it off after confirming with the B1G. Considering MN has cases and we just played them. MSU has their VB and Gymnastics shutdown due to CV so they maybe thinking it is a bigger problem. Just the times we are in. What will be interesting to see come B1G, NCAA, WNIT tourneys when a team gets CV. Would think you just have to move on if possible. Could be some teams move on that may not normally do so.

Michigan / Iowa WBB game has been delayed. Was due to start at 3:30 today. Sounds like they may try to play later if possible. I would guess someone got a CV19 positive on one of the teams and are now waiting on a confirming second test. Could be Michigan as their volleyball and gymnastics teams are down.

This loss to MN, well actually both really takes away from what we did against the ranked teams we have defeated. Does this team have it in them to finish 1-1 or 2-0 or are going to limp to the finish?

To really entertain a post season they need to take care of business tonight. So the NCAA will have a tourney, will the WNIT as well?

Aren't there 10 players per 1st and 2nd team? Last year there was so think they would be this year as well unless the B1G changed. https://bigten.org/news/2020/3/2/big-ten-womens-basketball-honors-announced-on-btn.aspx

I think both Sam and Kate are in the running as well.
