The usual starters in Mackenzie's absence..

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

On the pre-game radio show CTM indicated Mackenzie remained in Bloomington for scheduled rehab work.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

Gulbe picks up her 2nd foul with 4:26 left in the 1st Q.  Not good.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

Tied at 18 after 1Q.  We have 4 separate players with 4 pts. each.  C-H 3 reb.  M-M filling in for Gulbe has 4 pts. and a reb.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

We've put Gulbe back in the game.  Hope it doesn't backfire and she picks up a third foul.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

Need to get some 3s to start falling, we're 0-9.  28-26 Nebraska with 2:34 left in the half.

Need to start rebounding too. We're getting killed on the boards right now. 

[Todd41 698]

Also letting them dribble drive too much

[LockdownD 2,212]

We have not gone to the free throw line.  Driving the lane should get some free throw attempts.

[Hoosierfan1901 5,797]

Haven’t look good 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

Well we dodged a bullet that Gulbe didn't pick up a 3rd foul but it's halftime and Nebraska leads 34-26 after dominating the 2nd Q.  We're just not clicking on all cylinders and we're now 0-10 on 3s.  Nebraska dominating the boards with 27; 8 off the offensive glass.  We only have 15 total boards.

Berger  8p  1r  shooting 4-8 FG

Gulbe 6p  3r

Patberg, C-H, M-M each with 4p

[Todd41 698]

Defense has not been crisp as we are used to seeing. 

[TheWatShot 13,335]

We're in trouble unless we can get some threes to start falling. 0/10 right now. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

Getting some fouls called on Nebraska but we're only 3-7 from the line.  44-33 with 6:30  left in the 3rd.

[LockdownD 2,212]

Terrible out of bounds call giving the ball back to Nebraska.  The baseline ref must be asleep,

[Todd41 698]

Poor call on the foul on Berger as well

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

That kind of head butt will get her a contract in the WWE.

 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

Much stronger play by our Hoosiers in the latter part of the quarter and have cut the Nebraska lead down to 50-46 with 2 min. left in the 3rd.

Nebraska 6-10 on 3s; IU 1-12.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,142]

52-47 Nebraska leads after 3.  Have to dig deep to pull  this  one  out.
