NU/TTU game thread

[Noah121]

The game is on, and we're down 0-5 with 3 minutes into the game. It doesn't sound like we're focused at all.

Come on Huskers, we can't get complacent. Start fast and finish strong!

[TTU79]

12-2 Lady Raiders at 15:22 to go in the first half.

[Noah121]

Not good at all--we've taken bad shots, gotten no rebounds, and Nebraska is already down 2-12 at the first media timeout.

[TTU79]

11:31 to play in the first half 14-13 Texas Tech. Tech starting the turnover stuff.

[Noah121]

And they're playing my song in the background.

How long will it take for Chipper to come here?

[Noah121]

Mo has 8 points already. After a foul, it's 17-18.

Hopefully we don't have a one-(wo)man show today. We need a full team effort!

[Noah121]

**HONK**

It's 19-18 Cornhuskers after a very sloppy third four minutes. D-Page has picked up her second foul.

[Noah121]

We are in foul trouble and they seem like really bad ticky-tacks. We have to play through this poor officiating.

[ChipperF1]

Its always rough in Lubbock....Another foul....#9..
C'mon lasses, we have to stay smart..

This what happens when you get key players into foul trouble. We have to put Neals out there...:rolleyes:

[Noah121]

Everyone seems to be in foul trouble today. It's currently 25-26 after 2 Bober free throws.

[TTU79]

At the half, Texas Tech 32 Nebraska 29.

[ChipperF1]

Coatney and Griesch spin so much they ought to put their names on the ballot..

OKAY DANI PAGE!!! Now we are talking...Keep working inside on them...Page can't hit a freebie..

FOUL....on Griechaly Hester....WHY DOES THIS KID GET MINUTES???

32-29, Tech leads at half...

Second half..we need to come up big. This committee is watching this one.

[Noah121]

It's halftime and the score is 29-32.

Foul trouble is killing us here, but we're not out of it yet. We have to make a big surge in the second half, preferably before the last five minutes.

Additionally, we need to MAKE THOSE FREE THROWS. I do NOT want another one-point loss due to free throws like we had last year and last Sunday.

[TTU79]

The refs have happy whistles. 11 on Nebraska, 9 on Texas Tech and several walking calls. Please go back to the pink whistles.:)

[ChipperF1]

"Nebraska isn't a zone team"

Gee fellas, we haven't been a man-on-man team in the last 6 games either

Second half...We clamp down...slow the game down a little and work it inside

[Noah121]

D'oh! My login timed out.

It's tough to juggle listening to this game and then also doing my math homework.

[Noah121]

The Huskers take a timeout after giving up three easy layups. It's now 31-38. Not a good start... AGAIN!

[ChipperF1]

If this is way we're going to play the rest of the season, start selling WNIT tickets now.

[Noah121]

**HONK**

The score is 35-41 at the first timeout of the second half. We're still not into the game, and this is bad for us. Whatever coachspeak Yori has recently, it hasn't really panned out. This is looking like our traditional February fold, unfortunately...

[Noah121]

Slow. It. Down. Huskers. You can't get the victory off of sloppy transition basket attempts that lead to easy turnovers.

[Noah121]

Another tuirnover. This is NOT the way to even have a chance to win.

[Noah121]

*HONK*

It's 37-46 at the 12:00 timeout. With the bad three-point attempts and turnovers that Nebraska has done, it's a wonder that they're even that close.

[Noah121]

Evidently the worst 3FG offense meeting the worst 3FG defense manages to kindle the worst 3FG offense in the league.

The Huskers must get some stops and get physical in the post to draw fouls.

[TTU79]

Texas Tech 55, Nebraska 41, less than 8 minutes to play.

[Noah121]

**HONK**

Griffin is fouled and we have a chance to pull within 12. It's 41-55 and things are looking down for us... all of the breaks have gone for Tech. But we have played a bad game AGAIN.

But it's not over yet...

[Bball Girl]

Keep it up Tech go for the throat now - put it AWAY!

[Noah121]

**HONK**

This is a BAD situation... it's 45-59 with less than 4 to play. I don't see a crazy comeback this time. We just were out of this game from the word "go."

[ChipperF1]

I'm beginning to think that the Nebraska Cornhuskers really don't care.

This is getting ridiculous.

This team stole scholarship money today.

[Noah121]

Hmm...

[ChipperF1]

Now we want to play some ball...13-2 run by Nebraska...but this is too little too late...We can't depend on this in March.

This team seems to have the idea that actually talent...
Newsflash! You don't have enough talent to win on talent alone.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! HESTER HAS A CLEAN LOOK!!!! AND SHE'S PASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREICHALY HESTER DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Seals got the lose ball and goes the other way..

Congrats Texas Tech, you did what you should do to a dumb team. You punish them.

Connie Yori got a contract extension for this?

[Noah121]

Sigh... another game that we threw away by falling behind off the bat.

[TTU79]

Tech wins and, for once, another team had more turnovers than we did. My gosh, it is more fun to win:eek:.

[Bball Girl]

Whatever happened at halftime against KU - I'm glad it happened. I like seeing this kind of confidence, balanced scoring, less turnovers - good job Lady Raiders!

[Bball Girl]

Connie Yori is a classy person and a damn good coach!

[TTU79]

Tiny Henderson did an absolutely masterful job taking care of the ball. Many kudos to her.

[ChipperF1]

"Connie Yori is a classy person."
I agree with that 100%. She's good people.

"and a damn good coach!
Easy to say that about coach who can't beat you.
Good coaches find a way to beat a team at least once.
