If you don’t know who that is, she’s the former Iowa head coach; so I have some opinions.

The Details

Nebraska’s Logan Nissley gets called for the early foul and then Ohio State hits back to back threes. Amiah Hargrove grabs two points, but Ohio State is running and gunning, I’m not sure how well Nebraska will be able to keep up as the game progresses.

Britt Prince gets the steal and finds a wide open Amiah Hargrove for a layup. Callin Hake will draw Jaloni Cambridge into an offensive and then drills a three (7-11 OSU).

Why This Matters

Ohio State is getting bailed out egregious fouls I’ve ever seen as a Buckeye plows Claire Johnson over and she gets called for it. Media timeout taken with 4:32 left in the first quarter, OSU is up 13-7. This style of basketball makes me so insanely angry.

This is the kind of move that can define a season.

Key Takeaways

• It’s one thing to speed things up, it’s another to just be out of control the whole time and it makes for sloppy basketball.
• Nebraska is letting Ohio State speed them up and it’s forcing the Huskers to stray away from their style of play.
• Eliza Maupin had a line drive to the rim, but was too strong off the backboard.
• Kennadi Williams breaks the OSU press with a nice bounce pass and Prince hits the transition three (10-15 OSU).

The Bottom Line

Hailey Weaver has a chance to get points at the end of the first, but the ball rolls just off the rim. Nebraska is down just six, but a lot of that is in part to Jaloni Cambridge sitting most of the first quarter with two fouls.
