Go watch some other team. We don't need your opinion.
I started watching but turned it off midway thru the first quarter. I knew at that point Nebraska was going to win. Just had a feeling.
Nebraska wasn't even doing anything overly special on defense either.
This… Bluder was pissed early when Clark shot and she called a to off the rebound…. Things were never the same
Not really if you watched the game.
Who knows why they stopped running the offense through her, but common sense says it has to do with the record. She was absolutely disengaged until the very end, and just couldn’t switch it back on.
The CC took a 35 footer immediately after the TO. 0-6 in the 4th quarter. I was called a hater for focusing on turnovers and low % shots in another thread, now you know why... @kceasthawk and @joelbc1...
Bluder was focused the whole game, the girls weren't. She took a good TO and probably told them to take better shots and take the ball to the basket. We couldn't hit open shots and didn't get to the FT line. I've coached games where the other team got momentum and you just can't do anything to change the momentum of the game. Loss was on the players. Bluder knew the value of the win, she didn't tell CC to crank it down a notch. CC wasn't hungry in the 4th quarter, so it was on her not Bluder. Maybe she was tired or sick, but she didn't work hard to take control of the game, like she usually does.
The offensive flow completely changed in the fourth quarter because Iowa was up 14. It's ok to admit it. Nebraska did nothing special to disrupt things.
Girls were ready for the trip back home, but we still had 10 minutes to play.
Posting after admitting you've watched 16 minutes all year makes you as qualified as Sheryl Swoopes.
The thing is, I don't think it was Clark's decision to do that either. There was a change in the offense and since they were playing in unfamiliar roles the offense fell apart. That kind of decision only comes from the head coach. I'm just shocked that someone with Bluder's experience would make that kind of rookie mistake. I don't expect that will happen again.
This. If you know Lisa, she’s as competitive as they come. I dare say behind closed doors, she had words for her team. Now I don’t know enough to get excited about foul calls or to dissect what accounted for that fourth quarter, but it wasn’t Lisa telling them to shut down..
The refs certainly contributed to the loss, but I just can't get past how poor of decision it was to go away from Clark in the 4th quarter. It was just such an easily avoided error. Totally took Iowa out of the game.
You bring up a possibility as well. This scenario just seems so out of character for this team it just seems hard for me to believe. But maybe you are right. Either way, this won't happen again.
You’ve been waiting how long to say this? When’s the next recession James….sooner or later…you’ll be right again.
Did they shut it down against Penn St. when she only scored 8 in the 2nd half? Perhaps there's been some good D from other teams. But hell, can't be
Really pissed me off when they called Gabbie for that “foul.” It completely changed our game plan then at the end since they got to the free throw line.
