Stick a fork in all winter and spring sports. Wish it didn’t end this way.

NAIA just cancelled

I'm not sure I see them cancelling the big dance. I think the NBA shut down until further notice because it is an Olympic year and they want to keep players healthy for that.

I’ve wondered about this as well. Will they even have the NIT tourneys this year?

She was one of two Jacks to make the Summit League all tourney team. The remaining three were Yotes.

I don’t know for sure but wasn’t she a walk-on for us? I’m assuming she wasn’t offered a schollie after the first year but maybe someone else has some other information. That game was a battle and I’m very happy the Yotes came out on top. Missed too many free throws at the end though. I think all 5 starters were in double digits.

I would like to see USD defeat the Jacks 3 times this season, but that’s a tall order. Jacks have everything to gain and nothing to lose in this game and being an in-state rival makes it a tough game anyway. Looks like Duffy is having an off game which I’m sure is the Jacks game plan. And hindsight is 20/20 - we should have kept RCJ. However, it worked out well for her. Played for conference championships and NCAA berth each year. Wish I could say the same for the Huskers.

I’m looking forward to having her on the court next season. She’s the only PG we have. I expect she will make some mistakes but I’m willing to give her a pass for next season since she didn’t play much this season coming off injury. Hopefully she will improve over the course of the season next year.

She’s 5-7 and I think that’s a legit 5-7 because she stands a bit taller than my daughter.

I always thought Grace Barry from Lincoln East was a pretty good PG. But she’s at Concordia in Seward working toward a second national title in her senior season.

I’m sure for some sports that is true. But I also feel that USD WBB would easily beat our Huskers, and SDSU would give them a run, and I’ve felt that way for the past 4 years. It’s easier with track and field because times are times, heights are heights, and distances are distances no matter what conference you are in.

This. I’ve often wondered why we let RCJ go when she seemed to be the only true PG we had. I could understand it if we had an amazing PG that was coming into the program, but we didn’t. USD steals kids from Nebraska in many sports frequently. And many of them do well. Maybe I’m biased because my kid is one of those kids and had she gone to NU she would be on their all time top 10 list. However, we knew she wouldn’t have gotten the coaching or development that she has had at USD.

I still say since we don't play good defense, we need to have our top scorers start the game, and I'm definitely talking about Brown.

Brown should have been a starter for a long while. If she transfers, it’s on the staff.

It’s actually SDSU shooting in the UND court.

That’s the thing - I was expecting a solid team this season because we had our core returning and the sophomore class was more experienced and a solid class to begin with, plus the addition of Bourne and the other freshman. We also had the European trip over the summer to help get a head start on things. Why aren’t we in the top half of the conference looking at an NCAA bid?

Sorry to disappoint - I don't follow men's basketball. Let me backtrack - I haven't followed men's basketball since Piatkowski was one of my students at UNL back in the day.

https://pgcbasketball.com/ I know of a Nebraska girl that attended this in HS - maybe not this exact one, but I think it was referred to as Point Guard University. And she is an excellent PG for her college team.

And playing some games in those areas would give us exposure to potential recruits.

We could have a pretty decent non-con schedule that doesn't require a ton of traveling. We will always have Creighton on our schedule, then maybe pick up one of the OK schools and either KState or ISU, then one of the top Summit teams (USD or SDSU). Drake or that mid-major Missouri school that is ranked (I can never remember which one it is). Then maybe a holiday tourney somewhere that we can play against a PAC-12 school and some other major conference. I suppose it boils down to money and schedules.

Oh, I'm sure. I'm still butt hurt about Texas joining the Big 8 to become the Big 12! Guess I was thinking along the lines of Big 8 schools (but not Kansas, they don't seem to be too great anymore). Maybe OK, OK State, ISU, possibly KState.

Yes. SDSU is a bit down this year, but they’ve had some decent wins. USD would have our number just like Creighton does, but they have a tough team that competes to be in the tourney every year. And those are close enough that fans could easily travel to the away game (if we did it for a few years). Maybe an OK State type or someone from Big12, or a different PAC-12 team (One near the top, wouldn’t expect to win but we could learn some things early).

I’m not a fan of what the yanker said - “it was never my Intention to hurt someone”. It never is. If I had done something like that as a kid my parents would have put my ass in a sling. Grabbing someone by their hair and forcibly pulling them down is going to harm that person. What part of that isn’t clear?
