    No P6 league for one thing.

    Iowa has been solid for years.  Megan Gustafson nearly got them to the Final Four. Iowa is not going to be the Little Sisters of the Poor just because Clark. Martin and Marshall are leaving.

    Everything is a bummer for Oregon St and Wazzu.

    Would like us to go after players that will push our starters for their spot. Much like Cook does in VB. With Williams ACL and Logan's surgery I think we need to pickup a 3 point shooting guard if one is available.

    Grudgingly agree.  LSU is one of the few teams I dislike as much as Iowa.  With zero rooting interest, have to admit, it was a good game to watch.  Tough, competitive kids, across the board.

    Merlin reacted to Cazzie22 in Immediate and long-term future....what is your opinion?   
    Jaz played nearly 38-40 minutes a game.  I am wondering who will take that role? The substitution pattern probably helped us in some games and seems to be good for team morale. I think Alexis wants to be good and she will work in improving in the post.  She has to as the caliber of post play is going up in the B1G. We have a good core group of players.  Can we blend in transfers that will make a major impact without disrupting team chemistry.  I would certainly like us to pursue Amoore, from Va Tech.  She is an Australian but might follow her coach to Kentucky.
     
    Iowa is showing that you don’t have to extremely athletic to win.  Those girls battle and hustle.

    Within the last year the NCAA added two limited assistant coaching positions to BB.  We only filled one.

    Great season and great progress for this program. I’m really proud of them, even if we didn’t get to see our best offensive games this weekend.
     
    Jaz is a Husker legend and more than that, she is an amazing person and role model for future generations. She will be missed, but she laid a solid foundation to continue to build on.

    I doubt it.  OSU was clearly physical and finished behind USC and UCLA.

    It was a good season. Hopefully we can get Weidner back and be the guard that will drive to the hoop. like she did pre injuries.

    We are who we are and I don’t see much change.  The B1G does not have the number of quality athletes that are in the SEC, ACC and PAC 12.  USC and UCLA are teams we have to hope we only see once during conference play.  Britt Prince will give us good size at the point guard and the Hargrove girl should help.  A transfer big would be very helpful.  Hopefully are returnees are hungry to improve.

    Nice season. Now go find some length like we’ve seen in both of these NCAA games. 
    That’s what it’ll take to get to the next level.

    Meh, ran into a better team and had to play them on their home court in front of their fans. A tall order. 
    Definitely progressed as a program this season compared to where we were a year ago. Offseason starts this week! Let’s build on this, coaches and players!

    Merlin reacted to Huskerpapa in Texas A&M (19-12) vs. Nebraska (22-11) Game Thread   
    Really? 
     
    I thought the A&M coach was awful.  They had an athletic and physical team; but schematicaly did nothing to leverage them.  The ex-A&M player turned announcer kept referencing their injuries without referencing our injury.  Amy never panicked and despite an underwhelming 4th quarter, pulled out the win.  This Nebraska coach, who many bash, now has a team, that leverages the entire roster, in the top 32 in the entire country.   A team that is now in the top 10% in the country.  A team that had, arguably, it's best player in foul trouble within the first 3 minutes, yet prevailed.
     
    I'm really, really unsure what people want or see when the see this Husker team compete.  But for me, I see a few exceptional players typically perform at a high level, and I see role players who work hard plugging gaps and oftentimes excel when asked.

    Good Start.  Although the two quick fouls on a.m. is a bit discerning
