The NCAA’s incompetence is an unfair stain on women’s basketball (msn.com)

The announcers look like junior high kids.

One of the weeks is typically spring break. That's not the week we played the tourney. Many girls were taking online exams the day of games during the B1G tournament. Had there been a day between games, they could arrange to study/take exams on that day off.

I guess I'll be showing myself to the door because I agree with her. I've always thought it ridiculous these games have to be played back-to-back-to-back(to back!). That causes physical and mental fatigue, which can lead to serious injury. Why not have a day between games? Can the B1G bracket be staggered to make that happen? IIRC, there are two weeks between the end of the season and the start of the NCAA tourney, why not spread these games out?

She had some quality offers out of HS. Seems she wants to stick to a warmer climate, though. Or, maybe she'd like to come home for her final two years?

I believe I read she has 2 more years left due to a covid year and also a redshirt year she took earlier.

Maybe I didn't count correctly, but didn't A&M wind up 9th in the SEC? And they lost 6 of their last 8? How did they even get in?

I don't live in Nebraska and I haven't in years, but I do work for the university. That being said, I don't think much of the governor getting involved in this when in his statement he notes he doesn't fully understand or know Alberts' reasons for leaving. Lots of people are implying Trev didn't feel like he was getting the support he needed from higher ups. In what capacity? He was just given a massive raise and contract extension. Could it be he doesn't like being questioned about certain things by the higher ups (such as the findings in the report released last fall about his time at UNO, and the Scoggin lawsuit)? I will always be suspicious of people who expect blind loyalty. As far as the change in leadership, we employees knew for a while Carter was leaving. It takes time to hire a solid president. Heck, it takes forever to even hire decent faculty in my department (often 1 or 2 years minimum, because it's difficult to recruit people to live in Nebraska). My main department was without a chair for almost 4 years. As far as the BoR being slow, they are actually still on course given past hires. The last thing NU needs is to hire the wrong person as president.

I absolutely would not be surprised if Scoggin's lawsuit has something to do with this. It really doesn't paint Trev (or Williams) in a very positive light, and if even half of it went down the way it did, then this might be his way out. I've seen far too many university faculty pull this same move (switching jobs to a different university) before a full Title IX investigation is done.

Sorry, left a word out. Gonzaga lost by 1.

Gonzaga beat by 1 point in conference championship game. Does the committee take 2 from WCC? Don’t believe Portland was ranked although their record isn’t bad. Zaga ranked 14th.

That was a good listen. Like that he pointed out the difference in reactions to fouls between us vs Ioa.

The Utah State coach is out as well. If you search for it, there is a really awkward post-game interview from last night. The AD fired her immediately following their loss but before the interview.

TBH, I feel like even if we had hung on to win, Creme would still have us as an 8 seed trending upward, maybe a 7 seed. I can totally see the committee making us a 9. The only way to change perception is to get in the tourney and win a few games because, let's face it, we haven't been relevant in a long time.

I was concerned Clark would run us out of the arena but she didn’t. They have a superstar player - without her they’re pretty pedestrian. Can’t say the same about us - looks like our team has finally come together offensively and defensively. A number of players can step up any time and they do. Proud of them.

THIS ISN'T B1G PROTOCOL!

I wish CBS would stop with the weird ass camera angles.

Yeah, and that Tennessee coach looked like she was going to barf afterwards.

Wow, the refs actually called Clark for a push-off to start the game.

I didn't have the volume up the entire time at the end so maybe I missed it, but I noticed how they kept talking about what Maryland's seed would be in the NCAAs, but no mention of us even though we won the game.

Wow - did anybody else just see BTN had us spelled as NERBASKA on their screen?

And she's not afraid to take a charge! That gal has some guts!

Time to practice our B1G protocol!

Our bench had a bunch of points today - hopefully they will tomorrow, too!
