I think a Top Ten rating is a little optimistic. Lindsey Moore did a lot for the team, like playing 40 minutes a game but Theriot did get plenty of experience playing the point this season. Someone has to step up the scoring for Moore's absence and just her overall court presence. NU should contend for the B1G championship next season.

Though I don't watch the WNBA, my best wishes to Lindsey Moore. She was great for NU! She is a future coach...if that's what she wants to do.

Might as well get ready to hand the title to UConn next year. There is too much of a talent difference between the top 4/5 schools and the rest of the teams.

Women ought to ask Gary Blair to bring up the Aggies to Lincoln.<br /><br />

I like Iowa State....maybe bring up UNLV from the Mountain West...or Mizzou.

Never mind! You can see how well I paid attention to the previous post!!!

In fairness to Coach G, at Duke she was recruiting against a limited group of schools for girls that had the academic acumen to go to elite schools. It is true that she failed to cultivate rapport with Texas H.S. coaches and didn't keep someone on board from the Jody Conradt era. She is a Michigan native an might do well at OSU. The culture in Austin is different and not everyone is up to handle it.

Something needs to happen in Women's BB. UConn, ND, Tennessee and Stanford have a headlock on the game and the major talent. UConn is clearly assisted by being in ESPN's backyard for recruiting. I would think their conference isn't going to provide much of a challenge so they will have to continue to play a strong non-conference schedule. California is a newcomer to the Final Four and a good showing by the Bears might be a sign that some changes are forthcoming.

Kim Mulkey is always worth the price of admission! But from a male's point of view Sherri Coale will always be my favorite! Baylor should have put Griner up at High Post and force fed Brooklyn Pope and Destiny Williams underneath. The Bears will be OK next year, they still have Odyssey Sims and Mulkey can recruit.

If Hooper can come up with a more effective post game, she could move up to 2nd or 3rd team All-American. Everyone on the squad needs to step up to replace Moore if the team is going to match this year's success.

NU battled and defended well today. Just could not hit any shots when we needed them to go down. Stretch at the end of the first half probably cost us the game. Proud of the Lady Huskers! If everyone steps up their game and some of the incoming recruits provide some depth next year can be a nice year as well.

I watched UT all season. McClellan is spectacular at times and at times disappeared, especially on the defensive end of the court. That doesn't sit well with Barnes. I personally admire Barnes for sticking to his expectations and he is heavily criticized by the Austin press for bencing McClellan for long stretches. Coaches run their programs, or should, at all levels and if players don't do what the coaches want they should sit...or look elsewhere. With all of the above being sad, McClellan could be a nice addition. I look for him to wind up at Houston.

As Dan Patrick says, "these schools need to be sure they have someone who wants the job before they let go of their coach." Sounds familiar to when Solich was dumped. UCLA is not UCLA anymore. That era is over and even Bill Walton can't seem to understand it. Heard Tubby might be talking to Texas Tech.

Indiana did get mauled by Syracuse and never adjusted. I've never been a fan of the Big East mugging style BB. The officiating is worse in the Women's game.

A player at any position that can beat their defender off the dribble is a must have for next year's team. When the jump shots fell, NU was tough, when they didn't...it was tough for NU.

Don't know much about the Mocs. A & M and Kelsey Bone will be very difficult for us to match up with. If we shoot lights out we have a chance. Better focus on the Mocs first.

We need a big, physical inside player. Does the girl from Shelby Rising City fit that category?

Duh! The game is tomorrow! No wonder I couldn't find it on TV.....AAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

What channel is carrying the game? The B1G Network must not be carrying today's games nor is ESPN.

Why isn't the B1G Network carrying tonight's game? Where can I watch it on TV?

Dylan Talley's job at PG was totally unexpected and a key reason that the team was comptetive. He is the Team's player of the year in my humble opinion.

Adidas is who we should stay with for our apparel. Avoid Phil Knight and Nike.

I completely agree with tcp about our struggle against big, strong interior players. We have no post presence to defend against these types of players. Our success in the NCAA will hinge largely on our draw. I think we will be a 6 or 7 seed. With Meghin Williams leaving, the post situation is going to continue to be weak. It would be nice to have a back to the basket player but that may not fit in with our system. KU killed us in the tournament last year with Davis and Gardner inside.

Lindsey was battling against Alex Bentley Penn St. Pt. Guard and the Banham girl from Minnesota. She is an All-American in my opinion.

I'm very impressed with what Miles has accomplished with this team this season. Illinois is a capable team and for NU to battle them to the end is a tribute to the players and coaches. Well done.
