Huskers Hope to Tame Bulldogs at Home Tuesday

Maddie Simon and the Huskers take on Drake at Pinnacle Bank Arena Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Nebraska will try to snap a four-game losing streak when they face Drake. The Huskers have lost two games to Pac-12 foes (California, 7-0; Washington State, 5-3) and two more to ACC opponents (Virginia Tech, 7-0; Virginia, 5-2) with three of the games coming on the road during the stretch. Those four opponents have a combined record of 24-5.

Through Sunday’s games, Nebraska’s first eight opponents owned a combined mark of 45-18 and Nebraska’s strength of schedule was No. 11 nationally according to RPIratings.com.

Drake is 3-3 overall and 1-3 away from home after suffering a 71-48 loss at 6-1 Green Bay. The Bulldogs went to Green Bay averaging 80.2 points per game, but were held to just 48 points against the Phoenix.

However, a potent Drake offense featuring one of the school’s all-time leading scorers Lizzy Wendell, will still provide a tough test for the young Huskers. Wendell, a 6-0 senior forward, needs just eight points to become the fourth 2,000-point scorer in Drake History. Fellow senior Caitlin Ingle, a 5-8 guard, moved to No. 2 on Drake’s career assist list on Saturday. She owns 579 assists in her career, including 7.5 assists per game so far this season.

If rumors of tonight's scheduled Halftime entertainment for the WBB/Drake game are correct; It should be a very interesting Halftime. "Russian Bar Trio" (but I don't think BTNPlus typically shows the Halftime )

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed but the Student Announcers, Tommy Rezac and David Eickholt, did a great job on BTN Plus calling the Lady Huskers Drake game; knowing the players on Both teams, and calling the action.

There have been some really good Student Announcers lately.

My only complaint is not with the Announcing, but with BTN Plus.

Why is BTN Plus so stingy with the broadcast time. They don't go 'live' until the teams 'tip-off.' If your computer is like mine, it takes some time to get the video running properly so with just the 'blank screen' (your program will begin shortly) I don't know if it is really running (oftentimes I have to 'refresh' to get a picture or to start the action) and I usually wind up missing the beginning of the game.

What does it cost them to provide a few extra minutes, like the intros, National Anthem, etc. I guess they really don't want to provide a 'game experience,' just the 'action.' Or the 'dead time.' This time they did show the halftime entertainment, but often it is just a blank screen; even a 'live' shot of PBA would be better than that.
