    Huskers Shoot for Split with Hoosiers

    The Nebraska women’s basketball team continues its three-game home stand to close the regular season by taking on Indiana Wednesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

     

    Tip-off between the Cornhuskers and the hot Hoosiers is set for 7 p.m.

     

    Nebraska will try to rebound from one of its most disappointing games of the season, which came with a 68-50 loss to Purdue to open the home stand on Sunday. Not only did the Huskers suffer their eighth conference loss, they lost starter Kyndal Clark following Saturday’s practice. Clark who started 124 collegiate games in her five-year career, including Nebraska’s first 26 contests this season, could not outlast the extreme pain in her knees.

     

    The Huskers also played without starter Rachel Theriot, who re-aggravated a recurring ankle injury. Theriot will be a game-time decision for Wednesday’s clash with the Hoosiers.

     

    Indiana has won eight of its last 10 games to improve to 10-6 in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers, who are 13-0 at home this season including a 59-47 victory over the Huskers on Feb. 7, are hoping for a 2-0 week to close the regular season and secure their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2002. IU is coming off a 76-73 loss at Iowa Sunday.

     

    As a team, Indiana is averaging 71.5 points per game on the season, while allowing 67.7 points. Indiana is shooting 43 percent from the field on the season, including 31.3 percent of their threes. The Hoosiers are also a solid 73.5 percent at the free throw line. IU owns a plus-0.4 rebound per game advantage and a plus-0.3 turnover margin.

     

    Nebraska leads the all-time series with Indiana 4-3.

    Jessica Shepard is the first Husker freshman in history to reach 500 points. She enters the Purdue game with 536 and needs 76 points to produce one of the top 10 scoring seasons overall in school history.

     

    Jessica Shepard needs 42 rebounds to catch Kathy Hagerstrom (277, 1979-80) in the top spot on Nebraska’s freshman rebound list.

     

    Jessica Shepard needs one double-double to set the Nebraska freshman record.

     

    Natalie Romeo owns the Nebraska single-season record with 90 threes this season and her 141 threes are the most ever by a Husker through her freshman and sophomore seasons combined. She needs 10 three-pointers to become the first player in Nebraska history to hit 100 threes in a season.

     

    Natalie Romeo has hit 15 consecutive free throws entering Wednesday’s game with Indiana.

     

    Rachel Theriot’s 182 assists this season rank as the eighth-highest total in Nebraska history.

     

    Allie Havers needs five blocked shots to crack the top five on Nebraska’s junior single-season list.

    BEAT INDIANA!

    She plays well within her self.  Good hustle, ball handling and passes, defense, rebounding and 2 blocked shots for a player of her height is unreal.

    I see no one was shown the door for telling the refs that they sucked at halftime.

    My wife would not let out of my seat at halftime for this game. And I was not shown the door, just threatened with it by the men in black

    Good to know, my wife went off on the refs last night. And she is a very mild mannered person.

    Could it be HIPA laws?

    i had wondered at times if that might be the answer. i don't know. i guess most of the time, it is usually pretty obvious to figure out the general problem (like wearing a boot, or, wearing a sling, knee brace, etc).

     

    similar to what dlrrk has mentioned, i have always thought this way---"it is what it is". oh well.
