whoopdeedoo

bit of a surprise.

interesting...........this may not end well. i had seen a handful of her games on tv while at Marquette and read a couple articles on her. looks like i was way off base when i stated Penn St was getting a good one and would have the squad battling for one of the top 5 spots. (although, that was before BigTen raided the Pac12).

watched the game the other night. at least for this game, creighton had some trouble under the rim getting out rebounded 41-28. jackrabbits had 38 points in the paint. just when you thought jacks were gonna pull away in the second half, creighton would hit a big shot to keep them within distance. post 6'2" Brooklyn Meyer gave them all kinds of trouble around the rim. so did the jacks mesa byom. don't put creighton at the free throw line....at least to a minimum. creighton can cause problems with full court press, although, for the most part jacks handled it pretty well. lauren jensen is just awesome. outside and inside---although her shooting efficiency wasn't all that great for this game. Maly hit big shots when needed. molly mogensen also. granted, one never knows, but, i think it would be rather disappointing if huskers can't pull this one out. huskers need to keep it at a distance near the end. i will say this, jackrabbits are good. not sure they can topple any top 10 teams, but, can give anyone else a good game. this is with recruits from sd, iowa and minnesota.

i have a feeling Michigan could cause some headaches. like i stated earlier, young, but have potential.

just a little sidenote from the Husker-Doane article in the OWH: Last week, Nebraska met up with North Dakota State in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for a scrimmage at the Sanford Pentagon, where Nebraska will play in November. The Huskers won 84-67 in an impressive showing against a team that went 22-12 last season. Markowski was great in that game, scoring 23 points on 9 for 11 shooting from the field and 5 for 6 at the line. Prince and Amiah Hargrove each added nine points and three rebounds for the Huskers.

talked to my cousin in minnesota the other night. he stated info is wrong. minnesota lost to K-State in 2 OT's. funny how that stuff gets twisted around

geez...........what a pain in the a**. after numerous attempts trying to sign in (including numerous attempts at resetting password) i finally just cancelled my subscription and resubscribed. my goodness. i hate all you get is that stinking virtual chat that does nothing!!!

from the "fwiw" file: i noticed minnesota beat kansas state in a scrimmage. being reported a double-digit win. (moved from other topic setting)

i always listen to coatman, baylor, or sharp while watching husker events on the big screen.

just a question for any of the fans on the board. in august, i signed up for the yearly subscription (although, plan on cancelling sometime in the spring) but every month the app makes me change my password to have access for the next month. i had this issue when i signed in for the monthly "renewal" in past years. i thought signing up for the yearly sub would resolve that issue. rather a pain in the butt. just curious if anyone else that signed up for the yearly sub has had this issue?

here's a snippet from the article: That leaves Shelley’s shoes — and her 13.4 points, 5.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game last season — to fill. Prince’s prolific scoring and rebounding skills may not be as important as whether she and her teammates can feed posts Alexis Markowski, Jess Petrie and Natalie Potts, the last of whom was Big Ten freshman of the year last season. NU builds its offense on “post touches,” especially to Markowski, set to enter the school’s top 10 for career scoring. “She’s a great 3-point shooter,” Hake said of Prince, “but she ‘betters the ball’ for her teammates, and I think that’s something we need to do when we have such a great inside presence.” Prince is game for that. “I’m willing to accept whatever role comes my way,” she said. “I just want to help the team win.”

watched her video.......wish her nothing but the best and pray for full recovery!

https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40968298/ncaa-reveals-pay-structure-women-basketball-tournament from the espn article: "A women's basketball team that reaches the Final Four of the NCAA tournament could bring its conference roughly $1.26 million over the next three years in financial performance rewards. In an email obtained by The Associated Press on Friday from the NCAA to its basketball committees and conference commissioners, a pay structure was outlined for the proposal that will give performance units to teams that play in March Madness. Units represent revenue. All that's left for this to happen is the NCAA membership to approve it in a vote on Jan. 15. The Division I board of governors voted unanimously on this proposal earlier this month. There will be $15 million awarded to teams in the first year of the fund, which is 26% of the women's basketball media revenue deal. That number will grow to $25 million, which is 41% of the revenue, by 2028. The 26% is on par with what men's basketball teams received the first year the performance units program was established."

i noticed there is discussion stirring in minny (again) on replacing Williams Arena. don't know how this comes up when it was just let known minny is in a financial pinch. know nothing about architecture, but, i would think there would be big hidden costs trying to renovate a 100 yr(?) old building. therefore, i would think one would be looking at a new arena somewhere (most likely on campus?) interesting to see where this topic goes in the near future.

fans may excuse it...........however, come tourney time, i have to believe this won't impress. not going to be a plus for seeding. imo, don't need a loss with this non-con. granted...creighton most likely will be tough, but, gotta get a "w".

couldn't get access to the article, but, appears that minnesota is in a financial pinch. looking at cutting some sports. headline mentioned future of Williams Arena. if things are that much of a struggle, i have no idea how they would even consider replacing Williams in the near future.

believe i would have to agree......where would a second loss come from?

uhhhh.......i imagine the new additions to the conference have a bit to do with that scheduling.
