2pm @RAC. BTN TV again, not BTN+
Let's go!

 

[ScarletteK80]

high scoring 1st. RU 10 Neb 5.

 

[RUcrazee]

Gotta maintain focus and move the ball. Too much dribbling w/o a purpose here midway thru the second quarter.

 

[RUcrazee]

Look at Bates. Putting in work!!

 

[ScarletteK80]

30-20 half RU. Smikle en fuego.

 

[RUcrazee]

Nice finish to the half. They looked for each other. The freshman carrying us. Come on recruits! Jump on board. We're heading upward!

 

[RULoyal]

Good 1st half. Nebby shooting a big goose egg from 3 (0-14). Keep up the effort in the 2nd half ladies!

 

[MADHAT1]

team is showing good D

 

[Colerr]

We'll probably load up via the portal and then hopefully HS recruiting will pick up once we start winning.

 

[RUTrack94]

Checked in to see up by 10 at the half … AWESOME!!!!!

 

[RUcrazee]

Yeah, I lump portal transfers and HS candidates all in as recruits.

 

[RUcrazee]

That was a good move that commentators just mentioned. I was thinking about it during our last game that Kaylene was better coming off the bench than starting, as far as the overall performance of the team. Coquese is making good adjustments.

I just hope the team believes in themselves enough to win this game that is theirs for the taking.

 

[ScarletDave]

We are getting every rebound ! Tough team

 

[zebnatto]

Can we, shall we, will we?

 

[ScarletDave]

This team is more talented than their record shows. Steals and D like the mens team. And they have legit scorers. Just get tired at the end understandably. But the turnaround is beginning

 

[RUcrazee]

Are they losing flow due to trying to bleed the time on every possession? We're not getting good shots the last few minutes and we're turning it over.

They need to keep doing what got them to this lead. Take the win.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Big time performance today. That Ohio State game is gonna be huge. I may go down to the RAC for that one.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Damn hormones, I'm all teary eyed. So, so, so, proud of these ladies. Great to see the BIG hugs from Grentz to CQ at the end. Big time is right, and again Kaylene a true frosh is IMPRESSIVE!

 

[MTOleBlue]

And a very nice crowd too. It was loud on TV.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Oh I forgot the score.

AND, Antonia Bates with 8. May she continue to score, and smile like that...so cute

 

[MADHAT1]

Great way to honor Theresa, with a win
Also ends the thought this team can't win B1G games.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Nebraska prolly thought they were going to waltz in and out with a win.

 

[RUcrazee]

Now that is what a Rutgers WBB defense is supposed to look like. Nebby shot poorly, but that was because of our constant pressure. If we can continue to play that kind of defense and continue to become more cosistently precise and disciplined on offense, we will be on our way.

Still need to cut down on the number of tough shots that we take in the paint when an extra pass could find a wide open easier one. Nothing wrong with strong, aggressive moves that will draw a foul, but too many of the contorted shots are letting the opponent off the hook defensively when an extra pass could lead to an open shot that really puts pressure on the defense.

 

[RUTrack94]

Liking the result ladies … quality win!!!!

 

[RUcrazee]

The pressure to play well in repping our HOF coaches on their nationally-televised special days resulted in two of our grittier performances. They need to apply that mindset to every game. Make Coquese the next HOF RUWBB coach.

 

[RULoyal]

Great game by the ladies. With this type of play there are a few more wins down the road IF they cut down on the TOs (21).

 

[ScarletteK80]

Thought I'd check up on RU WBB and saw the win!

 

[rutgersron]

If we could only get our bigs to hit a layup, we could be pretty good. Same story every game. Great win...nice ceremony for Theresa. Loved the end of her speech when she said 'let's go out and win the damn game!'. Always the competitor. Started going to the games during the Sue Wicks era with Theresa as coach.

With you all the way on this post. I also became a fan during the Wicks era of her tenure.

 

[RUTrack94]

she led the first unranked WBB team to ever defeat the top ranked team!!!!

 

[hoquat63]

Wow - been sick since last night, didn’t go and spent all on asleep. What pleasant surprise when I looked at my phone just now.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Was wondering where you were. I can't believe you missed all the hoopla with Grentz having a beautiful ceremony as well. Great game in many aspects. Feel better.

I watched most of this one on delay because it was a busy afternoon. Nebraska was ice cold even with some good looks and we made more 3s than I can recall from our women's team in forever. Great job to get a runaway conference win!

Re: Grentz day, I doubt it happened but it would have been a great nod to Coach if the band played "Tie a Yellow Ribbon". It was hee favorite song when I was in band and she would always applaud us after we played it during their games.

I remember, coach! Thanks for everything you did for Rutgers!

Nebraska is an inconsistent, but quality team. Beat ranked Maryland. Beat ranked Kansas. Took ranked Indiana to OT. A very nice win for the Rutgers women.
