Game Page to Follow! (Stay-Tuned!!!)

Awesome! Nothing better than home advantage, I always say!!

I will be here, unless I am doing the baseball game. I'll just have to check the time. WNIT

 

[CrnhskrBob]

Glad to see the time separation between Women's basketball and the baseball game
.I will be here

Well, alas, both games start at the same time!!
I choose to watch the gals, then check on the baseball
game sporadically

Saw this elsewhere:

UNI will be a handful for the Huskers. They have some quality wins and beat Drake and played Iowa and Iowa State to tight games. We need to be at our best.?

We will have to play our Best; and get off to a fast Start!

 

[CrnhskrBob]

I have chosen to watch the gals play, instead of calling the baseball game. I am sure many will have the same dilemma. I am going to see if I can give info on the game sporadically. If someone is going to listen to the baseball game, I am hoping they will supply info during the game.

A dilemma, right:? Geeeesh!!!!!

 

[CrnhskrBob]

I will probably have the sound for both games at the same time! That should be fun!!

 

[CrnhskrBob]

So Carolina now up, 73-43!!

B10+ in less than 5 minutes

 

[CrnhskrBob]

I am going to try and stay on the baseball game, and listen. I will watch the basketball game without sound? See how that goes.
Going to the baseball forum.
