I turned the game off at halftime when we were down 4 to watch the WSU/ISU game. I just went and looked it up. Down 6 going into the 4th and outscored then 33-13. Nice!
Good game with Ohio State going on right now on BTN. Huskers struggled early but rallied to take a 38-36 lead at the half.
Down 53-51 after 3 on the road. I would rather watch NU-- even if its women's basketball, than football right now. Our freshman class is really, really good. They will cause some teams fits the next four years.
Thats a big W for the gals! 2-0 to start out B1G play...... Bring on the hawkseyes on Thursday!
Outscored them 27-16 in the fourth..... clutch down the stretch in the last two games.
We're getting some good minutes from freshman. Glad and surprised we are so strong in the fourth. We have some big girls. Good job. GBR
Yea I don't get the head coach. She doesn't start two of her best players. Sam the point guard is easily the best guard on the team. Been saying it since the 1st game and she still isn't starting yet is the team's leading scorer. Leigha is another, she had a career high 19 coming off the bench yet again. To the HCs credit Sam probably gets starter minutes and is usually in at crunch time yet that proves my point.
Interesting story I hadn't heard is that Sam was a pitcher on a boys baseball team. She also played some hockey although I don't know at what level. She is a smooth bball player.
My 5 is:
Sam
Leigha
Nicea
Taylor
Kate
They're playing at least 4 freshmen a lot of minutes. That's probably part of it. A couple of their veterans have struggled with their shooting early this year from the perimeter. I haven't gotten to see any of their games and have only caught a couple of them on the radio. My impression yesterday was that we just couldn't make a shot early then things started falling and our depth wore OSU down in the 4th quarter.
It's not about who starts. It's about putting the best combinations on the floor at any one time. When you're playing young players that is especially important. Amy always seems to get the best out of her players.
They had 2 points after what 8 mins of the 1st Qtr. They missed 14 of their first 15 shots. It's crazy to say it doesn't matter who starts. Does Miles start his best 5? Of course he does.
One of those starters who was a big part of missing 14 of their first 15 shots is our best player and historically our best offensive weapon. It happens. You will also note that after that stretch we were still right there in the game. Why was that? Scoring from the field is less than half the game chief.
