Neb Nets

Of course Bluder makes sure to put McCabe in and of course she drains a three. Of friggen course.

Can’t fault NU’s effort today. These gals are playing with a lot of heart & hustle.

Won’t be able to watch the game, don’t have BTN+. Appreciate all the updates and observations that you guys provide on here

No team in the conference can touch Iowa when they are firing on all cylinders like they were last night. Would love to see a rematch between them and LSU in the postseason.

77% of Nissley’s field goal attempts are 3s?? Good Lord

Full disclosure: last spring, I went on record on this forum and opined that after 7 seasons, Amy Williams had taken this program as far as she was capable of taking it, and that she had “reached her ceiling” as the NU WBB head coach. (Just wanted to publicly acknowledge that before someone dug it up and posted my quote. Lol) But hey, maybe I was wrong. I would love for Amy to prove me wrong. I do believe that she has made a couple key upgrades to her assistant coaching staff in the past couple years and I find that encouraging.

My 2 cents: Is Amy a good coach? Sure. Is she a GREAT coach? Nope. Sorry, but she’s not; her career numbers just don’t bear it out. Do we fire a good coach in an attempt to lure a great coach? I don’t know. That decision is above my pay grade. I do know that we could part ways with Amy and there would be a chance that the next coach wouldn’t do any better than Amy and could possibly do worse.

I think about Potts and Prince having 3 years to play together and I’m intrigued!

Natalie Potts just picked up her 4th B1G freshman of the week honor.

Watching the game now. My word, Indiana couldn’t miss. Y’all weren’t kidding. Go Hoosiers, beat the Hawkeyes!

Rumor has it that Britt Prince strongly considered joining that IU system. I’m really glad she didn’t, obviously….but in today’s fickle transfer climate, can you ever really relax and feel confident that a great recruit will stay for 4 years?

Not able to watch this game live. Will watch later on DVR. How is the battle inside between Alexis and Mackenzie Holmes playing out?

PLOT TWIST: During the jersey retirement ceremony, Jordan Hooper announces that she still has one year of eligibility remaining, will rejoin Husker WBB immediately. But wishful thinking aside, if you all had to pick one Husker women’s basketball player from the last 10 years who you could bring back for this season, which past player do you think could help this year’s team the most? I would select Rachel Theriot to come in and play point guard. I miss watching her. She had a great all around game. Fantastic passing and court vision.

It’s not that I don’t wish Maggie well…it’s just that I can’t help but be a little salty. Salty because her sudden transferring was absolutely no skin off the back of the NU VB program. They’ll never even notice her being gone. Nope, it was the WBB program that got left holding the bag on this whole Maggie Mendelson 2-sport athlete experiment at NU. Sorry, just how I feel.

Does anyone know if Maggie will attempt to also play b-ball at PSU?

Who is this Hake gal?? She’s playing with such confidence!

Just watched the game on my DVR. Let me say this again: Natalie Potts is a gem! What a recruiting score that was for Nebraska!

Looking forward to watching the game tonight on my DVR. Nice win today NU WBB!

I believe that MM saw the writing on the wall regarding her status with the VB team - that she was never going to seriously push Allick or Jackson and win the co-starting MB role. And since VB is reportedly her true love, her preferred sport, she decided to leave NU and transfer to a lesser VB program where she can earn more playing time. Fine. Whatever. But it’s yet another gut punch to this WBB program to lose a scholarship post player in the middle of the season without that player even suiting up for a single game. Feels like NU WBB got left holding the bag on this one. But no time to pout or feel sorry for ourselves…we are in for a grueling conference schedule in the next couple months.

Anyhoo, everyone feeling super confident about this team’s outlook heading into Big Ten play? Yeah, me neither. I’ll be thrilled with a .500 conference record and a middle of the pack finish.

Can’t say I’m one bit surprised either. In watching her facial demeanor and body language on the VB sideline this fall, she looked disengaged and unenthused at times.

I don’t get ESPN+ so I’ll be checking in here for updates that y’all post. Thanks in advance!

Oh Kendall M… I am dumbfounded that this far into her college career, she still has not put it all together and “turned the corner on the court”. I truly am dumbfounded. Seemed to me that she had all the physical tools to be a great player, a major contributor to this team.

That 3 she made was like NBA range!

We have a player wearing #32 that I simply don’t recognize. Where has she been??
