#19 Women vs. Nebraska at 3pm ET

[go cats go_rivals310290]

The NU game that I have been looking forward to most this weekend is the women's game at 3pm ET. I'll be watching on BTN+. I assume that it is also on WNUR radio, which is available online. (By the way, if you have a Google Home, you can just tell it to play WNUR...or WGN Radio or ESPN1000 for that matter.)

The NU women are a fun team. If you're not aboard already, now is a good time with 5 games to go in the regular season and a tight Big Ten race. The 'Cats are 21-3 overall (11-2 B1G) and are 1/2 game behind Maryland for first place in the conference. NU is currently 13th in RPI and in a very strong position to host the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament at W-R. Every game from here out matters.

NU down 33-29 at the half. Fairly exciting half, but NU is getting beaten in the post. Wolf (a 55% shooter on the season) is only 2-9 from the floor, while Nebraska's center is 4-5. Also, Pulliam was held to 3 points--all on free throws. Hopefully, the 'Cats will have another great 3rd quarter to take control.

Trailing by 2 going in the 4th quarter. Pulliam is 0-11 from the floor. Scheid 1-5 beyond the arc.

Veronica Burton is carrying the ‘Cats with 21 points. Just gave NU its first lead of the second half.

Victory! And a tough one (which is good, to pull those out)!

9-0 to close it out! Pulliam with the game winner and then two free throws to ice it after starting 0-13 from the floor! They found a way to win. Go 'Cats!

Hamilton had a fine game too!

Once again: that's how you close a game and lock down a W. Really tough to win three games against decent teams in a week. Should jump ahead of Iowa in the polls now, hopefully even up to the top 15 tomorrow. Right back at it on Wednesday against a quality Rutgers team. Just keep winning...

Glad we won the but Pulliam needs to break out of her shooting slump( 2 for 23 the last 2 games) . Hopefully for Rutgers game she will recover her shooting touch.

Speaking of which...they sell them at NUsports and the box office just like other Nu tickets right?? Is that how you get the tickets for the wncaa tourney games too? They most likely will have games at our arena if they keep winning?? I'm planning on attending and just want to plan ahead. Thanks for any input.

Do we still get a free ticket with our men’s purchase? It used to come in the packet that they stopped sending.

I was at the game. What a great atmosphere. Just the opposite of the men's games. They trailed throughout the game but pulled it out at the end. Terrific game by Burton, and Hamilton gave a great spark off the bench. Great that they could overcome a rough shooting afternoon for Pulliam (although she played well in other aspects) and just a terrible day for the usually consistent Wolf.
