I continue in my amazement about Hawkeye Women's Basketball (17-3 / 8-1), now alone in 1st place in the Big Ten, a year after losing Megan Gustafson, the 2-time NCAA season scoring leader, and a top rebounder, to graduation. 

The Hawkeyes are squeaking by some of their opponents. They seem to play tougher in the stretch run of the game. They have a several very good players and one star, a guard, Kathleen Doyle, who leads the Big Ten in scoring. The Hawkeyes have a bevy of people who come off the bench, and do well. For example, today McKenna Warnock filled-in in the 3rd and 4th qtrs. for Monika Czinano in the game against MSU. Warnock scored 20 points.

LINCOLN -- The No. 6 Nebraska wrestling team used a last-second, match-clinching pin from a hobbled No. 4 Isaiah White (165) to defeat No. 3 Ohio State 19-14 in front of 1,675 fans at the Devaney Center on Sunday afternoon. The Huskers (7-3, 2-3 Big Ten) won six of ten bouts overall to record their first victory over a top three-rated opponent since 2008.

No. 6 Mikey Labriola (174) set the tone for what would be a thrilling meet with a match-opening 3-1 victory. The returning All-American sophomore from Easton, Pa., battled No. 7 Kaleb Romero to a 1-1 tie as time was winding down in Period 3. Labriola was then able to get in on a shot and record a takedown before the buzzer sounded as Romero attempted to crawl away. Ohio State challenged the takedown, but officials confirmed the call on the mat following video review. Nebraska was, however, deducted one team point at the conclusion of the match for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Huskers Upset Ohio State and Michigan State on Day One
The Huskers began the day taking on the fourth-seeded and defending Big Ten Match Play Champion Ohio State Buckeyes. As a team, the Huskers started slow with junior Mark Foelbaek and sophomore Caleb Badura each leading their matches at the turn.

After being down by two, junior Tom Westenberger won four out of five holes to take the lead over Ohio State's Grant Engle. Westenberger would hold on to win the match 2-1.

Foelbaek and Badura would each hold on to their matches 4-2 and 3-1, respectively. This would leave the Huskers tied with the Buckeyes at three wins a piece. In his first competitive match since October of 2018, Daniel Pearson fell to Jackson Chandler 2-1, but after a scoring error, Pearson had to go back out on the golf course 20 minutes after he had finished the round to putt from 12 feet out to win the match. Pearson would make the putt to give Nebraska the win and advance them to the quarterfinals where they would face Michigan State.

If I may indulge you. 

Iowa WBB finished its home season today and is 23-5 / 14-3. I didn't have my best lens for the job; it is too heavy and hard on the cervical spine. But these two photos of the action were nevertheless kind of cool, even if not my best quality. Iowa point guard Kathleen Doyle is looking for a bucket in the red wood forest. She should make Big Ten player of the year. The Minnesota player extends herself. Then Kathleen Doyle extends herself:
