I really like seeing Emily Wood get some good minutes. She broke a scoring drought that we had, and grabbed a couple of rebounds, and had no turnovers. I like this kid. Hear we have a scholarship available.

We had 20 turnovers in this game, and that is mostly with our starters in the game. That number needs to at least be cut in half.

Hailie was huge in this game with the free throws at the end and also the charge she took. And she had been on the bench a while with 4 fouls, very impressive.

Thank god that's over

Huge free throws by Hailie!

Wow, terrible start to the second half.

Hope to see Emily Wood in the second half.

Need to stop with the silly turnovers.

Rachel came to play!

I'm going to start a chant on Saturday of "No More Boot!"

SERIOUSLY!?!?

Watching the Iowa-Iowa State game and heard the announcers say Rachel Banham from Minnesota will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

You know, that is a great picture. A great thing to see. There were times in previous years that I thought our players didn't box out well. This picture looks like that has changed.

Releasing her sister kind of sounds like "I'm done with dealing with the parents".

Wow, that's a lot of change for a college freshman. Switching schools at semester and starting to practice with a new team as well. Sounds like these changes need to happen quickly.

That's the part of it that bugs me too, Norm. Leaving so early in her freshman season. I'm just wondering if it was more our coach showing her the door (because of issues with parents). Maybe Kaylee would have been happy to stick out the season, but if there was some sort of issue with parents vs Yori, then that would be an impossible situation for a student-athlete. Just easier to be done with it and start over somewhere else. That would quiet the parents down anyway. Sounds like Yori had no issue with releasing both her and her sister.

Since Kaylee is no longer on the team, she will be sitting this year anyway. And if she transfers to D1, she will sit next year as well. How has this helped her situation?

IF she did get homesick and decide to return, she may not be happy either. I don't think she would be a starter this year, but would get minutes off the bench. Am I correct in remembering that playing time was part of her decision with Illinois? Going to a school like that she knew she would likely start, and she is a dominant player for them. If the goal is to play right away, then Nebraska probably wasn't a good pick right now. Next year, however, I think there will be more competition for a few spots. Theriot and Shepard start for sure. Romeo likely, too. What about the other 2 spots?

Did Rachel Blackburn play on the same club team as the Page sisters?

So, did Kaylee leave on her own, or did coach show her the door after some issue with her dad?

Maybe freshman year should be a mandatory red shirt year for everyone in all sports. Gives you time to adjust to school, being away from mom and dad, and time to understand what it takes to play at the college level and then make a decision that you want to continue. It would never work, I'm just daydreaming.

I guess on the upside we have 2 more scholarships to give now.

Unfortunate. Will be interesting to see where she and Lanie wind up.

I agree. Did you watch South Carolina and Duke today?

Thought I heard Yori say in post game talk that our freshman have taken a step forward in the past week. If we can ever get past the injury bug, maybe it will all come together early conference play. That's what I'm hoping.
