Much better start to this game. Good balance for a change. Holmes with 8 and Gulbe with 6. That’s the type of contributions we need to get out of them to be truly dangerous in March. Also, my hoops crush continues to grow for Grace Berger. I call her Baby Hornsby, because she’s got one of the best looking strokes I’ve seen since Kyle used to shoot ‘em in Assembly. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

End of 1 and we have a 21-13 lead.  A good start hitting 9-18 FG and just 2 TO.

Points:  Holmes 7; Gulbe 6; Berger 5; Berger 3

Rebounds:  Berger 3; Penn 2; Patberg 2; Wise 2

The first 3 minutes of the 3rd Q are just butt ugly.   Neither team has scored and the rims are taking a beating.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

Midway thru the quarter and we're 2-9 and Nebraska is 0-6 from the field.  Women are padding their rebounding stats tonight.  We have moved the lead up to 37-27.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

Patberg called for a flagrant one because a Nebraska player wouldn't take her nose off Ali's forearm.  Probably the right call and at least they didn't wave off Ali's made basket.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

End of 3 and we’re holding a 50-41 thanks to a 3 by Patberg to end the quarter.

Points:  Patberg 17; Holmes 11; Gulbe 8; Berger 7;

Rebounds:  Wise 7; Berger 7; Penn 5; Patberg 5

Assists:  Patberg 3; Berger 3

Fouls:  Waggoner 3; Penn 2            TO:  11

Our FG% has slipped to 42% and we’re just 4-16 on 3s; 4-8 FT.  Huskers only shooting 27%.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

Unbelievable 4th Q.  We've already scored 20 points and we're just midway thru the quarter.  We lead 70-45.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

Struggled somewhat through 3 quarters but we unleashed our entire arsenal in the 4^th and win easily 81-53.  In the quarter we shot 12-19 FG including 4-6 on 3s.  We couldn’t hit squat in the 3^rd and everything started falling in the 4^th

Points:  Patberg 26; Berger 15; Gulbe 11; Holmes 11; Penn 7

Rebounds:  Wise 8; Berger 7; Penn 6; Holmes 6; Patberg 5

Assists:  Berger 6; Patberg 4                   TO: 13

For the game we shoot 48% FG; 36% on 3s; 64% FT. 

[JerryYeagley23 3,646]

Admittedly I turned my attention to the men’s game, but love the win Ladies. Good looking box score too. Four players in double digits. Ali being Ali and doing Ali things. One thought though, can we get Nebraska’s Leah Brown as a grad transfer??? Indiana kid that got away right there.

Glad we have IUWBB this season. The guys leave A LOT to be desired. Bordering on pathetic in about half it’s games.

Really enjoy this IUWBB team.
