Any team whose bench is doing organized dances with time still on the clock deserves to lose.

They absolutely hit “make it or lose” shots!!! Along with several players, making big-time rebounds, deflections, blocks and steals….
A never quit, never give up attitude game. Incredibly impressed by the teamwork in this one. CC was not good today, but the team stepped up and never stopped working for victory.
And beating the bugeaters in the finals makes it all the more sweeter. They can take their previous Jaz and shove her up their azz.

Oh good Lord, lets just qualify that statement. CC struggled with her SHOT in the first half. End stop. She had 4 points but NINE assists in the half. The all she did was come out in the 2nd half after struggling mightly in the first 20 minutes and dropped a 30 burger in the second 20+5 minutes. Once again in "crunch time" big threes, big drives, big passing, and BIG free throws. To say "CC was not good today" really needs some context attached. Do you really think if she didn't once again become CC22 in the last 25 minutes that we win that game?
Good points…She NEVER quits dropping dimes. As my 19 year old said the to me the other day, everyone’s shot gets off, but passing never should 🤷♂️
I doubt many if any of us were counting on a 30 point blowout, but I may not know as much about IOWA WBB as others.
They do it for most of the game as I recall, so it's not something they do only when they think it's in the bag.
Which does NOT apply to CC at all, or we would not have seen her mastery these last 4 years......I mean would you REALLY want her not throwing those one handed 3/4 court passes or the bounce passes between two players to a cutter in the lane. All GREAT passes, but NO you say?
And you dont think I know that????? And you are the expert - did you reply that to all the others who asked the same ? Good call out - what purpose it served for you I have no idea.
lol First, I didn't say "no". Yes she makes some of the best passes that I have ever seen anyone make. I also see her drive the right side of the lane and try to get a pass between 2 or 3 players, for turnovers and some have come at critical times late in the games.

Oh….you didn’t want the question answered unless the game was on?
Great way to tell your coach that you’re not ready to go into the game if needed.
Don’t want to say I told you so , BUT, I told you so! One Clark stopped. Chucking the 3’s and played team ball , you guys took it to the huskers and just beat the silly. Good luck in the big dance! Go RU!!
Their coach isn’t very good. They didnt make the tourney last year despite having a roster full of vets that had beat Maryland, Indiana and Michigan in the two previous seasons.
Regarding Marshall calling the timeout... two possibilities. One, she was very close to the sideline and may have been concerned about losing her balance and stepping out. Or, there were 2 Nebby players right there and she may have been concerned about getting trapped.
It was a comment in game lol - its over - we won - im not monday morning q'bing now. I didnt go back and rewind the play. Hawks won!
I went back and watched the final minutes of regulation and OT and I'll be dammed if they didn't do EXACTLY what I suggested they should to guard against Nebraska's set plays that led to bad shots and a steal.
High hedge and stick on the screen, stay with the drive, and drop the weak side wing defender to show help on the roll, knowing you could recover if they had to throw it back across court to that opposite wing.
End of regulation they swung it back after we hedged hard and they were left with a dud of a shot that I'm not sure even beat the clock.
Then at the end of OT, Clark was right there in drop position, they were forced to swing back to that weakside left wing and Clark made the easy read and picked it off.
Good stuff, folks. Love it when a plan comes together........

Sorry to upset you. Like I needed to call out all 15 people that said the same silly comment? Like Nebraska didn't go to great lengths to make SURE that Hannah was the one who had to catch the inbounds.
I rarely post during games. NEVER during the mens games. TOO many emotions for everyone and too many comments people would rather take back later....
WOW! You got eight minutes watch this segment. Great compliments and spot on.
ESPN's predictive stats are worthless
Yep. Complete fiction. There's no way UNL had a "99.1%" chance to win a three possession game with over two and a half minutes left to play. How is that even measurable?
If the data from every game is entered into a computer, which it is now with the real time updates and trackers, it’s a simple matter of extrapolating the data. I wouldn’t think it’d be too hard.
That’s why it’s worthless….every teams chances at that moment wouldn’t be the same 🤷♂️
Yeah, but what factors are included in the calculation? I would think things like scoring streaks, number of fouls per player, pace of play, defensive tendencies, and about a dozen other factors would have a huge impact. And there's no way someone is making those kinds of inputs in real time. Just looking at the score and the clock is worthless, as we saw yesterday.
I suppose they compare other games with similar circumstances, knowing espn they could be pulling it out of their ass too 🤷♀️
People still not get how unbelievable she is. That this was a “bad tournament” for her says so much. About her as well as the team.
Yes she was shooting 3 pointers practically from half court. I get it, she's good, and her fame has gotten to her, but what was she 0/10 from on 3 pointers and she still chucking up up 3’s. That’s a sure sign for me in my book. When she decided to play team ball and pass the ball ( and she is an excellent passer) they started to eat away at Nebraska lead.
Hate to burst your narrative but she had 8 of her 12 assists in the first half when they were trailing. (more than anybody else had for the entire game). Her shot was off, but she was passing the ball.
They came back in the second half when her shots started falling (9/12)...along with a great team effort.
