Huskers Head to Vegas for South Point Shootout
 
The Nebraska women’s basketball team (3-1) opens a three-game road swing by playing a pair of games this weekend at the South Point Shootout in Las Vegas.
 
Nebraska’s appearance at South Point Arena begins with the Huskers taking on Pac-12 foe Washington State (3-1) on Friday at 8 p.m.
 
The Huskers closed their four-game season-opening home stand with a 66-58 victory over Omaha on Tuesday at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Sophomore Jessica Shepard led a balanced Big Red attack with 17 points and nine rebounds. The 2016 Big Ten Freshman of the Year leads the Huskers in scoring and rebounding with 17.5 points and 11.5 boards per game. The 6-4 forward from Fremont, Neb., also leads Nebraska with 7-of-13 shooting (.538) from three-point range.
 
Freshmen Nicea Eliely (8.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 3.5 apg, 2.3 spg) and Hannah Whitish (6.8 ppg, 2.3 apg) also played major roles in Nebraska’s success during the home stand.

Scouting Washington State
Nebraska opens play in the South Point Shootout by taking on a familiar non-conference foe in Washington State. The Huskers and Cougars will be meeting for the seventh time in 14 seasons, but it will be the first-ever meeting for the two teams on a neutral court.
 
Nebraska leads the all-time series with Washington State 5-1, including an 82-61 win in the last meeting between the two schools on Nov. 19, 2014 in Pullman. The Cougars handed the Huskers their only loss in the series with a 76-72 decision on Nov. 30, 2013. It was also the first home loss for Nebraska in Pinnacle Bank Arena. Nebraska is 3-0 against WSU in Pullman and 2-1 against the Cougars in Lincoln.
 
Washington State heads to Las Vegas with a 3-1 mark that includes lopsided wins over Loyola Marymount (92-45) and San Francisco (73-35) sandwiched around a solid victory over Saint Mary’s (85-69). The Cougars are coming off a 79-72 overtime loss to Oklahoma State
 
The Cougars carry a mix of size and experience along with talent and depth up and down their roster. Sophomore Borislava Hristova, a 6-0 forward leads WSU with 16.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. Louise Brown, a 6-3 junior forward has added 10.0 points and a team-leading 8.8 rebounds per game.
Ivana Kmetovska, a 6-3 senior forward completes an all-international starting front line by averaging 8.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
 
As a team, Washington State is averaging 80.5 points through four contests, while holding opponents to just 57.0 points per game. The Cougars have been plus-7.8 (50.8-43.0) on the boards and own a whopping plus-9.3 team turnover margin. WSU is shooting 39.9 percent from the field and 33 percent (29-88) from three-point range while hitting just 60.2 percent of its free throws.
 
• Jessica Shepard continues to average a double-double for the Huskers with team-leading averages of 17.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game.
 
• Shepard leads Nebraska in three-point field goals made (7) and three-point field goal percentage (.538),
 
• Nebraska freshman Nicea Eliely ranks second on the team in scoring (8.0 ppg), third in rebounding (5.5 rpg), first in assists (3.5 apg) and first in steals (2.3 spg) through the first four games of her collegiate career.
 
• Freshman guard Hannah Whitish produced double digits off the bench for the second straight game with 10 points in NU’s win over Omaha

Hmmm!  Who will we be able to defeat in the B1G?  I would hack Jess till she can make a free throw.  WSU is not a top team.  Nice run in 3rd quarter.  Is Allie Havers going to show up?

They did put up a good fight and made it a respectable loss. Free throws and turnovers continue to be big problems. Good game by Hannah. She's quickly emerging into a reliable guard for us. Probably Nicea's first bad game of her short college career.

We actually shot pretty well.  23 turn overs and got crushed by 12 boards.  In spite of that we'd have been right in it til the end, if we would just make our darn free throws.  9 makes and 13 misses.  I did not know that bad was possible from the charity stripe.

Looking at the box scores.... the rebounding numbers......we got seriously out rebounded. Seems to be a continuing issue. Darrien did a good job. We have to pick up the pace defensively overall. It sounded (on internet) like the other team could score all most at will....for a while anyway.

 

Our overall shooting was better, As was said, except for free throws. They stayed in the game, didn't quit, That will pay off as time goes on.

We did make a bit of a comeback.....that period we couldn't stop them in the middle of the game, pretty much was the game as it turned out.

 

Wish we could of had the option to see the game.

 

We're getting to know and adapt to the offense. The defense will come hopefully with a little more time. ...........Practice shooting free throws !

 

The influx of European players is becoming more and more evident.....:huh:

Lady Huskers battle to within 11 points in the 4th, Losing the game by 14, 79-65.

Question, do you call the men's team the gentlemen huskers?  The women's teams have not been the Lady Huskers since about 1976.  They don't like being called the Lady Huskers.  I know one local sports reporter was told to quit calling them that.  They are Huskers just like all the other teams.
