Husker WBB on BTN

[Cloud_a_Heart]

Up 36-28 at halftime... Built a huge lead 27-9, let it evaporate to within 5. Whittish hits a three at the buzzer to push it to 8. Boilermakers are 6-3 in league play.

Oh my. What a buzzer beater shot. Wish the men could shoot like the women.

Frankly, I was surprised to see a thread about women's basketball. C'mon, it's women's basketball.

I think there's lot more strategy in VB than the casual fan notices. Cook is a wizard. Hard to think about what happens when he retires.

You are probably right...I'm the definition of 'casual fan' with volleyball....

Here's what I see...
serve
bump
set
spike
meet in middle for a hug...

That IS a pretty good synopsis...win or lose the point. Laughing

How do you fail to see the athleticism shown with some of the digs we see.? The ability of handling the game by the setter and the power shown by the hitters? The timing and ability to be a good blocker. If all you see is bump set spike you are not watching the volleyball match!

I'm seeing that you are not well versed in the art of gentle sarcasm.....

I find watching Nebraska's women's VB team play nearly as nerve wracking as watching our football team play.
