My heart races as I step on the court
Basketball my favorite sport
The whistle blows to start the game
It's a feeling I can't explain
My team is my family
When we work together there's no boundaries

Yeah, a lot of good takes here. I guess I go back to something that a pretty good coach explained to me many, many moons ago. That is, you can play the same exact scheme as your opponent, and in all probability, the team with the best players, who play with the best focus, best execution and greatest intensity will win. In the games where we were blown out, scheme was not the fatal bullet. Plus, I think individually (especially when you factor in experience) we have the players...so I guess sh*t happens.

I have only watched him once this year. He was very good; but didn't walk away thinking he was a high Division I player. Actually, the Lincoln kid I have my eye on is the North Star kid. Jordan Castor. I believe he is only a freshman, and he's got game. Also intrigued by Bahl from Papillion; but I may just be caught up with who his sister is.

I thought I would revisit this topic given our defensive breakdowns against Michigan State, Iowa and Purdue. When our defense is on, we are very good; when our defense is awol, it has been very bad. Is it lack of intensity? Is it a schematic problem? Are players confused as to roles? Are Big Ten players and coaches able to easily decipher our scheme? We are exploring line ups in a different thread, so perhaps it chemistry issue. Is it all of the above or something else? Early in the season I sort of called out the coaching staff, as it appeared we did not know how to leverage Meah on offense. I will say the same thing about how we are leveraging him on defense. Isn't he a shot blocker? I love Juwan. But someone let the dawg out of him. Is he hurt? Berke, a couple weeks ago, was supposed to be our highest rated defender by some sort of metric. Really? That still surprises me. At times, yes. At other times, no. We need to be consistent. I can say that about each and every player...At times and in certain games, wow. At other times, woof. We need CONSISTENCY! And folks, we ain't getting it. Intensity, focus, effort, physicality, desire, pride all have to improve. Sh*t, our bigs get knocked to the floor more than a drunken frat boy. I expect improvement against Rutgers; but I want to know that our defense will be present each and every game here on out. Leaders need to lead by word and example.

Hake has been terrific on the defensive end. Her shots are there, just not falling. -

Petra and Petrie are playing much better recently. Hake has struggled offensively. -
Allison will go through a myriad of emotions and then have conversations with many people (doctors, specialists, family, friends, teammates, psychologists, and so forth). She will make decisions, question those decisions and change her decision; perhaps multiple times. Personally, I think she will fight to come back unless the injury is so bad, it simply cannot happen. But ultimately it will be Allison who makes the final decision. I will NEVER leverage hindsight with a decision that was made about recovery. Yet I do wonder why a decision to go without a sleeve or brace on one or both of her knees was made. Perhaps neither would help. I don't know, it simply is heart breaking.

Something is off at this point. I'm not sure the starting line up is causing the issues or a plethora of other problems. But there needs to be some introspective exploring taking place.

Good road win. Had to be emotional. Ladies stepped up on the road! -
It is a short article from LJS confirming Allison is out for the year with a knee injury suffered in practice.

When you lose an inspirational player like Allison, especially right before you board the plane, it can have devastating consequences to the psychological makeup of her teammates. So sad... -
