Having a hard time getting anything to fall. Just under 12 minutes left in the first half and the Huskers are trailing USC 15-5.

[Row6Seat10]

22-18 USC leads. 7 and half minute til the half.

[Row6Seat10]

Huskers had an 8 point lead now trail with 8+ minutes left 53-50 as USC goes on a 13 - 0 run. Moore and Hooper on the bench during the run.

[Row6Seat10]

Huskers are just too inconsistent as a team. They can't afford to go on long scoring droughts and then expect to win. They now trail 63-61 2:47 to go.

[Row6Seat10]

1:20 to go and T Laudermill hits a 3 pointer and Cady hits a lay up to lead 66-63!

[Row6Seat10]

Lindsey Moore ices the game with 8 free throws to end the game as (USC has to foul at the end) and beats the Trojans 74-65

T's three was amazing. She's a neat girl; glad to see her have some success. Not sure we win if she doesn't make that. And it wasn't exactly the shot I wanted in that situation. Never happier to be wrong!

But it was an open look, Better than just throwing one up.

Another positive: Sample's free throw shooting. She was 6-6. No way that happens last year. Her form on the throws looks completely different. Credit to her for working on that in the off season. Perhaps with her chronic injuries, that was all she could do. We don't win that game without excellent free throw shooting by the whole team.
