yeah, i know she doesn't have a great vertical but, some of those passes are just too low.

at least they walk away with a split. was watching football and the husker bb game, but, a few times i noticed the passing into cain was too low. get a little more air under the ball let cain go/jump for it. give her a chance. don't think we'll see whitish miss very many layups like that. not expected from her. still would like to see hannah look for her offense more. noticed she did pass up a couple of open mid-range jumpers.

passing.

don't mean to be picky, but, coach williams was at USD, not SDSU.

well, if matt and jeff are correct, maddie has a "high ankle sprain"----------and that is not good. if you read about them, they take 6 six weeks or more to heal. they can even take longer.

so much depends on the degree of the sprain. maybe being a little cautious with maddie sunday night? the one thing that has never been mentioned was anyone seeing maddie go down during warmups. assuming it didn't halt things as matt and jeff never mentioned it until they stated (just before gametime) on air that she would not be available. matt did say she came out with crutches and had big ice bag on the ankle. maybe maddie will just rub some dirt on it (or good tape job) and give it a go.

not sure why i had "tourney" on my mind, should have stated "shootout", anyway according to updated sagarin ratings buffalo (2-0) is sitting at 80 coastal carolina (1-1) is sitting at 278 huskers (3-1) sitting at 96

imo, one might have to enter in the talent factor when you are analyzing those schools. if coach had that type of talent, she may only be playing around 7 deep, too.

here's a little taste of postgame (highlights/interview) vs Delaware: https://youtu.be/j0ufW1lz78k appear to be an athletic team that can shoot the 3. looked up some stats: 2 players are shooting 41.7% and one is shooting 50%. according to minutes, coach has been playing everyone on the roster (14) 13 of them average double digit minutes while one has averaged 8 minutes. as far as height, one gal is 6'3", 2 listed at 6'1" and believe the rest were listed under 6'.

well, that sucks-----------get one back, and lose one during warmups. wondered if this stretch of games might have some consequence against creighton. for as much as the offense struggled, it appeared the huskers hung pretty tough for the most part---for a good chunk, kept it within striking distance. i was hoping they could knock down a few in a row to get that momentum, but, just couldn't do it. hopefully, maddie will be ready come the holiday tournament---and, now that nicea has made a return, hopefully janay won't be far behind. maybe getting away from PBA for the holiday will help them relax a little and go out and have a lot of fun playing some ball. pick up a couple of "W's".

listening to matt and jeff, it sounded like nicea might be available very soon. someone may be able to correct me, or expand, but thought jeff stated this was the first time nicea was at least out walking around during warmups? if i heard matt correctly on his statement about janay, she might just wake up one morning and say, "i'm ready to go". so, sounds like both are getting pretty close. good to see woody out there scrapping away. might be tough for her to get minutes once nicea and janay are ready. 9 players getting double digit minutes.

was listening to a "sports guy" who knows his north dakota sports talking about this kid. said she is starting to receiving lots of interest from schools as a sophomore (volleyball and basketball). he believes she will have a great shot at playing big time in either sport----just depends on which she might choose. if coach williams isn't in on this, might be worth a look, at 6'4"-----or, maybe coach cook. http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/lauren-ware/zcDY-m8AEea-8KA2nzwbTA/default.htm

think it's safe to say will be the most athletic team huskers will have faced so far. monk and cosper (guards) appear to be the most consistent scorers. size-wise, teams match-up pretty well. might be a game where it would be nice to have janay and nicea ready---but, it is what it is.

would love to be more positive, but, think fans are just beginning to get a taste of what the season is going to be like for Rachel. just a guess, but, i would be willing to bet many wbb players would probably hang it up. she is going to be there in any way possible---that's the kind of teammate she is. whether just contributing a few minutes on the floor or support from the bench.

i thought i heard coach say she wanted to break Cain in a bit slowly because she missed some practice time. i believe she was in a boot for a short period.

i seem to have better luck listening to the football games with the Tunein app------but, don't believe it carries wbb or vb. huskers.com audio has always dropped in and out for me. it is pretty frustrating.

ok, thanks Bugs. i'm not real computer savvy, so, was just trying to figure out if it might be on my end. i have had some issues with my isp lately and we were discussing if i might need a new modem (since i have had it for almost 6 years now).

just a technical question------anyone else have trouble watching the above videos of coach williams and the one with stallworth and cain? parts of the video and audio work just fine then at different sections it will start to become very choppy (buffering) and almost impossible to listen. if my memory serves me correct, had the same problem with a previous post of coach's video (mn-mankato?).

and it's going to help the defense, especially, to get janay and nicea back.

imo, seems like coach williams is a little more comfortable in front of the mic this season discussing her squad. by that i mean she feels like this is truly "her team" now. she is very good with words------------not surprising coming from someone who chose the coaching profession over med school. and, if it's true what i heard, mom wasn't too happy about that in the beginning.

???? http://www.nj.com/rutgerswomen/index.ssf/2017/11/c_vivian_stringer_inks_4-year_extension_does_rutge.html highlights: During a 1:30 p.m. teleconference Thursday, the Rutgers Board of Governors unanimously approved a four-year contract extension with C. Vivian Stringer that will guarantee the Hall of Fame women’s basketball coach $3.4 million in salary from the university through the 2020-21 season... ...In addition to a base salary that starts at $775,000 this season and increases to $925,000 in Year 4, Stringer is eligible for up to $690,000 in annual-bonus compensation based on the Scarlet Knights’ academic and team success.

maybe someone else could comment on this: i just finished reading some opinions that stated Kalynn's younger sister Shayla (8th grade) is a better basketball player than Kalynn was at this age. maybe coach might want to keep an eye out that way

i am sure rachel, along with her family, will do what is best for her. i still have vivid memories of her freshman season and would love to see it carried forward. rachel is still so young, she has a lot of miles to put on those knees after her career (however it works out). wishing her the best!!! GBR!

pretty sure i saw a pic that showed Cain wearing a boot also.
