That was not Mowins. That was Debbie Antonelli

I had heard from a friend who lives in Lincoln that the rumor is we've been in talks with Altman. Judging by this thread, it's a fantasy rumor.

There is a World Herald article that discusses Miles getting a 6th year/admin issues. The really interesting tidbit was that in filling the women's position, there were two coaches with "powerhouse credentials" that basically never got the chance to be hired. Anyone know who those two might be, or could provide hints. I'm just intrigued by that statement

I'll be in the minority but I really hope Williams isn't number one choice. I'd hope we'd take a shot at bigger name. For example, Jeff Walz. Just an example.

This was a discussion brought up in our house today. I see both sides but I'm conflicted. On one hand, why should he be punished for being good? All those players work their tails off to be that good. There's no reason they should have to play down a level to please everyone else. Now on the other hand with everyone saying that all the other teams need to "get better", there are teams like Notre Dame and South Carolina who have great talent and they can not beat them (minus Notre Dame a few years ago and Stanford last year, i think). The real issue is coaching. Either it will level back out after he retires or coaches are going to have to seriously look at the way they do things. Another part of this discussion was what it was going to take for teams to be competitive with them. What we eventually decided is that teams all across the board have to be MUCH MORE conditioned. There are certainly players who can play 40 mins a game every game, but the whole Uconn team could probably do it, if needed, and they are going 100mph all the time. After typing this i realize i jumped around a lot lol. Any one else have any thoughts? What will it take for teams to reach their level, consistently? Can it be done?

Can't complain too much offensively, but we have to get better defensively in the second half. Don't want this to be a game where the team with the last possession of the game can win it.

Do we really have 28? Wasn't there a lane violation on Shepard's second free throw?

Great start! Especially for KC!!!

I was trying to watch both games at the same time so I wasn't fully paying attention....with that said: Too many turnovers (however if the refs were being graded this game then as someone mentioned anything that 'looked' illegal would be called and there were probably quite a few anticipation calls) but we found a way to win, that's the most important thing bottom line. Move on, try to learn on the turnovers and knock off Michigan.

I've noticed we have been getting Jess the ball a lot on the left lane/block. Maybe if we switched it to the other side she'd feel more comfortable finishing with her right hand? Idk....

Way too many turnovers

Ok, I'd like to believe that. But I still say we can't afford to lose to PSU, Minnesota, or Wisconsin.

We'll pretty much have to win out and have some help from other teams to have a chance. At the very least we CAN NOT lose to Penn State, Wisconsin, or Minnesota. Those teams are just too low in RPI for us to overcome with our schedule this year (and unfortunately we play PSU twice, ouch!). Lose 1 or 2 of those and you're probably looking at winning the B1G tourney. With that said, we still have Purdue X2, MSU, Rutgers, and OSU which would all be significant RPI wins (Northwestern is a ?, they have been falling lately).

Her foot was CLEARLY over the line.

According to radio, yes Theriot is there and not hurt or anything. Was some sort of disciplinary issues...supposedly

"Internal matters". Funny thing is, this was the same game last year she wasn't supposed to start but did due to a mistake.

I'm sure glad Cal isn't next. We will probably look sluggish in our next game so I'm glad we'll be at home with fans to help get us energized again.

Finally got the stop we needed. On the last play of the game. Amazing

Just can't get the stop when we need it.

yuck yuck yuck

We miss way too many easy shots.

Not too bad after the first half. Gave up to many "easy" baskets though. I can live with Stewart making those plays, she's just that good. Don't neccessarily like leaving her standing under the hoop though. I like the fight.

Slowly but surely we can start to piece it together. So far, in no order: @UCONN Creighton North Carolina State @Cal That's a pretty good schedule so far. Good RPI with Cal and UCONN even if we lose (plus obviously lots of experience against good competition). Thoughts so far?

Apparently ASU can host now. They were hosting the Pac-12 gymnastics championship but that got moved to Utah so ASU could host. Creme has Neb/Txam/Louisville/i don't remember in the College Station region. I think you could easily flip it from College Station to Lincoln (but that is considering that the selection committee is even thinking the same way as creme).

Iowa is getting away with a lot of s#$%
