Instead of the White girl a few years ago, we pick up a Whitish girl now.

Ohio State Indiana Iowa Rutgers Purdue Nebraska - 145 points Maryland

I'm just thinking about having MiCole and Maddie Simon's speed and athleticism on the floor at the same time.

And Nat - hard to believe she will be a junior next year!

She certainly looks like someone who can come in and contribute immediately. We will have some young ones again, but I'm hoping that some depth can be built.

Wow, I cannot wait to see her as a Husker!

I almost wonder if Nat could resemble Banham a bit by the time she's a senior. I did not attend the game but listened to Matt and Jeff's broadcast. Sounded like Woody was a spark off the bench. Would be great to play in the WNIT and get these young ones more playing time. Jazz also had a good game. I think Havers only missed once the whole game.

Wow, they came back from a 23 point deficit to win. Don't see that very often.

I hope this link works. Occasionally I peruse other boards for different perspectives from different fans, all of whom are enthusiastic about college women's basketball. Ran across this one today. I've heard rumors about how rotten AAU is in the recruiting game, but that has always been regarding men's basketball. http://ouhoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37953

Jess did it, Rylie Cascio Jensen did it, TKiss has now done it, and Jess' younger sister has also joined. TKiss is on the same team as Madison Treece now. I think there may have also been another girl from Fremont that went to All Iowa Attack but I don't remember her name. And fired Illinois coach Divilbiss joined CSS after Illinois.

She will be a tremendous asset the next 4 years! She already has a bio on the Husker website. http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=210495493

LOVED THE HALFTIME SHOW

Really ugly game so far.

Jess scoreless so far

3 blind mice are extra blind today

Some ill advised passing early on. Hopefully that will settle down. Maybe try Wood a bit to see if she can hit a three.

IMO, she should have left a few years ago. I have a gut feeling she may wind up at Creighton.

Saw this 2013 article on Kevin McGuff. Wow - 6 young kids! Cannot imagine having 6 kids and being the head coach of a strong WBB team. http://buckeyextra.dispatch.com/content/stories/2013/12/13/full-court-full-house.html

I think they have that running clock rule in 8 man football in Nebraska. Not sure about larger school classes that play 11 man. There are some pretty below average girls' Bball teams in our state, but I haven't heard of any complaining about lopsided scores. I don't remember the last time class A Omaha Bryan GBB won a game, and I don't think they have come close in any of their games this year. On a side note, kind of interesting that once OPS adopted a higher GPA athlete rule, the OPS girls programs aren't nearly as competitive. However, the Millard and Papio schools have done well.

Interesting read. http://espn.go.com/espnw/sports/article/14795303/how-nevada-rule-made-basketball-unrecognizable-las-vegas

I was thinking the same regarding the Iowa loss. That was a winnable game and we just let it get away. I think the Cal loss is also somewhat haunting. So close in that one battling on the road. We would be 19-7 right now with a very bright outlook had we gotten the win in those two games. The blowout losses are concerning. I expected that from UConn, Maryland, and OSU, but not from Minnie and I definitely didn't see us with some of these slow starts where we have been buried in the first half and then had to play catch-up. It worked for the Creighton game because CU isn't really all that good, especially compared to teams in our conference. Other times it seems we have a decent start and then a lull for several minutes where we miss shots or have dumb turnovers. I suppose that is due to our youth and lack of depth issues due to injury/illness throughout the season. Right now we seem to have a decent rotation. We can sub Jas, Anya, and Burns and feel good about their play. Maddie did some good things yesterday and maybe a few not so good things but she will learn and we will need her athleticism going forward. I thought Washington had a couple of good moves in her few minutes yesterday. Sure wish we could see more of her earlier in the game.

Thought I would bump this thread since we only have 3 games left. If we can win all 3, and that is possible since all 3 are at home, then we wind up 20-9. I had originally thought 21-8 if we could keep everyone healthy. Considering there have been health/injury issues again, we are not too far off from some preseason predictions. I wonder if it might be better if we aren't a top 4 seed in the Big 10 tourney because it would give us the opportunity to play an extra game and put another win on our record.

We might get a home game or two in the WNIT.
