The elusive double/double

[Row6Seat10]

The Huskers haven’t had a player average a double-double for an entire season since Kelsey Griffin accomplished that feat in the 2009-10 season. This year though they do have a good chance for one if not two players to do it.

 

Emily Cady came really close of averaging a double-double last year missing it by averaging just over 9 rebounds per game. Rachel Theriot missed it by 3 only averaging 7.1 assists per game. Can either of these girls get the job done this year?

Emily has her first double double of the season.

Darn near had a triple double!

Emily has had a double double seasonal average for the past two games and currently has 5 more rebounds than needed to maintain a 10 rebound average and a scoring average of 10 points a game does not look like a problem for her. She has not been in foul trouble lately and the Huskers have not been getting significantly large leads in games lately, both of which could cause a reduction in playing time and drop the number of rebounds she gets per game. Before the season started I thought she would average a double double but changed my mind during the early part of the season. Now I am leaning towards her ending the season with a double double average. Anyone else have any thoughts on this issue?

If she does average a double double, it would be very remarkable.  She is quite undersized in the post.  But she competes like crazy.  It is just a joy to watch her play hoops.
