Row6Seat10 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 ESPN's Graham Hayes has a nice write up on Emily Cady in his weekly write-up for ESPN-W.com. She Also Starred Emily Cady, Nebraska: Can a player be overshadowed by a teammate who is herself overshadowed, or does the picture start to get a little M.C. Escher at that point? Nebraska point guard Rachel Theriot arguably doesn't get the full credit her play merits, at least not nationally, but then where does that leave Huskers forward Emily Cady, who might be even more underrated? After a roller-coaster week that saw Nebraska beat Duke but lose to Alabama, the Big Ten team worked hard for wins against in-state rival Creighton and Cal State Bakersfield that stabilized momentum last week. Theriot was fantastic against the Bluejays in a matchup of elite point guards with Marissa Janning, totaling 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting and nine assists. But she, like the rest of the team, struggled to find the bottom of the net against Bakersfield. A player who always finds a way to contribute, be it the off-balance 3-pointer she hit against Purdue as a freshman to force a third overtime or a less dramatic offensive rebound to run clock at the end of the game against Creighton, Cady was a constant all week. She finished with 13 points, 15 rebounds and five assists against Bakersfield and 18 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks against the Bluejays. Easily overlooked, impossible to overvalue. http://espn.go.com/ncw/notebook/_/page/notebook_141214/weekend-wrap-better-defense-isabelle-harrison-return-boost-tennessee-lady-vols He also writes about the B1G's Lauren Brooks of Indiana and Minnesota's Rachel Banham.
