Huskers Close Non-Conference Play with Big South Champs

 

The No. 12 Nebraska women’s basketball team returns home for another clash with postseason-caliber competition when the Huskers play host to High Point on Saturday afternoon.

 

Tip-off between the Huskers and the defending Big South regular-season champion Panthers is set for 3 p.m. at Pinnacle Bank Arena

 

The Huskers take aim at their 10th win of the year after taking Finals Week off from competition at Nebraska. Commencement exercises will be held at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Friday afternoon (graduate) and Saturday morning (undergraduate), before the Huskers and Panthers hit the court.

 

Nebraska and High Point enter Saturday’s game with a combined 600 starts on their rosters. Nebraska’s starting five has combined for 350 career starts and have started all 10 games together this season. High Point also features an experienced starting five, as the defending Big South Conference regular-season champions return all five starters from a year ago. HPU has six players who have started at least 25 games in their careers, and as a team have combined for 250 career starts.

 

High Point also features an award-winning forward from the state of Nebraska. Stacia Robertson, a fifth-year senior from Grand Island High School, is the two-time defending Big South Player-of-the-Week (Dec. 8, Dec. 15). Robertson was a first-team All-Big South selection for the Panthers last season. HPU has won four of its last five games. Fifth-year senior Stacia Robertson has provided huge numbers across the board for HPU. The 6-2 forward out of Grand Island is averaging 15.4 points and team-bests of 9.8 rebounds. She started her collegiate career at South Dakota in 2010-11 before transferring to High Point.

 

Saturday’s game will be the first meeting in history between Nebraska and High Point in women’s basketball and the first game against a current member of the Big South Conference.

 

Probable Starters:

 

Nebraska Cornhuskers
3 - Hailie Sample - 6-1 - Sr. - F - 7.5 ppg
23 - Emily Cady - 6-2 - Sr. - F - 13.8
1 - Tear’a Laudermill - 5-9 - Sr. - G - 11.4
13 - Brandi Jeffery - 5-7 - Sr. - G - 8.9
33 - Rachel Theriot - 6-0 - Jr. - G - 17.0

 

High Point Panthers
4 - Stacia Robertson - 6-2 - RSr. - F - 15.4 ppg
22 - Latrice Phelps - 6-0 - Sr. - F - 9.1
3 - Kaylah Keys - 5-5 - So. - G - 16.0
23 - Teddy Vincent - 5-10 - So. - G - 3.9
10 - Lindsay Puckett - 5-10 - RSr. - G - 6.0

 

• Nebraska carries an 11-game home winning streak into Saturday’s game with High Point.

 

• Emily Cady needs eight points on Saturday to reach 1,200 in her career.

 

• Brandi Jeffery’s next rebound will give her a single-season career best (66). The 5-7 senior guard enters Saturday’s game ranked 18th in the Big Ten in rebounding.

 

• Natalie Romeo is a game time decision and could see some playing time in this game.

GAME NOTES:

I don't understand jonesing.

Anyone else out there jonesing for this game. A week is to long to go between games.

This should be a fun game! I'm glad I'll be here for it, as well as the Maryland game :)

The most popular meaning of JONESING is: Craving, wanting something really badly. It is generally used in references to junkies, which is what I thought we were in regards to Husker Women basketball.

Huskers win it 83-57 to close out the non-conference with a nifty 10-1 record.

 

Rachel ended up leading the team with 31 points and 5 assists. Tee Laudermill had 22 points.

 

Hope Emily will be okay. Really scary to see her land the way she did.  But good to be able to see her walk off under her own power and rejoin the team later in the game. You could tell she was a hurting when she came back though.

 

B1G play starts a week from Monday at Minnesota, ready or not here it comes.

 

Good to see Noah back where I think he belongs!!!

does any one think that Smith will redshirt this year having played in only one game.

 

Yes; there is a good chance of that.

 

So her injury isn't getting to the point where she could be useful to the team this.

I thought Havers had another good game. Maybe she will improve her productivity when Big Ten action begins. I sure hope so, as we will not be able to rely on Emily and Hailie for 40 minutes every game.

Emily winds up with a bruised tail bone according to the coach. That can't feel good at all. Hope the pain and in-comfort subsides fast for her.

I had a bruised tall bone but in my younger years and it is not a good feeling, mine took months to heal.

Needs a little bit more touch on her shot. But as she gains PT that should take care of it self hopefully. And that baby, hook she needs to work on that move as well IMHO.
