Tip-off between the Huskers (7-2) and Lumberjacks (4-5) is set for 4 p.m., with doors opening one hour prior to tip to allow personnel to complete the conversion from University graduation ceremonies. Nebraska took the week off from competition to complete final exams, following an 87-80 overtime loss at California. The Huskers, who rallied from a 10-point deficit to send the game into overtime, had their 22-game winning streak against teams from the state of California snapped. Rachel Theriot led the Huskers with 17 points and 15 assists, Natalie Romeo poured in a team-high 24 points on 6-of-12 three-point shooting. Allie Havers added a career-high 18 points, but the Huskers were unable to overcome an 11-foul differential. It marked the first time in 318 games that the Huskers had been called for at least 10 more fouls than their opponents. The Huskers carry a 7-0 home record this season and own an 18-game home non-conference winning streak heading into the Northern Arizona game. The Lumberjack roster features a familiar name to Nebraska with 5-7 freshman guard Passionate Amukamara. Her older brother, Prince, was an All-America defensive back at Nebraska and now plays for the New York Giants. Northern Arizona comes to Lincoln with a 4-5 record against a challenging schedule that has included tough tests against Colorado, New Mexico State, Hawaii and UTEP, just to name a few. Following their game with Nebraska, the Lumberjacks will take on Iowa State in Ames. Northern Arizona went 13-17 last season while tying for fifth place with a 9-9 Big Sky Conference mark. Coach Sue Darling, who is in her fourth season in Flagstaff, returns four starters and eight letter-winners from last year’s team, but it has been 6-2 freshman center Alyssa Rader that has made the biggest impact. The Lumberjacks have managed 65.6 points on the offensive end, while allowing 67.9 points per contest. Odds-makers have the Huskers as a 27.5 point favorite. Probable Starters: Nebraska Cornhuskers 43 - Rachel Blackburn - 6-3 - Fr. - F - 6.3 ppg32 - Jessica Shepard - 6-4 - Fr. - F - 17.84 - Kyndal Clark - 5-7 - RSr. - G - 4.35 - Natalie Romeo - 5-7 - So. - G - 15.833 - Rachel Theriot - 6-0 - Sr. - G - 11.2 Northern Arizona Lumberjacks 50 - Bradlee Cotton - 6-0 - Jr. - F - 2.6 ppg54 - Alyssa Rader - 6-2 - Fr. - C - 14.41 - Rene Coggins - 5-8 - Jr. - G - 10.04 - Brittani Lusain - 5-8 - Jr. - G - 8.921 - Mariah Willadsen - 5-8 - Sr. - G - 3.8 • Nebraska is 3-0 all-time against Northern Arizona. The Huskers are 2-0 against NAU in Lincoln. The lone meeting in Flagstaff was a memorable one, with NU running to a 97-88 win in double-overtime. All-Americans Jordan Hooper and Lindsey Moore became the first Husker teammates to score 30 points in the second game. • With 17 points and 15 assists at California, Rachel Theriot moved into the top 20 on Nebraska’s all-time scoring list with 1,124 points. She also became just the fifth player in school history with 500 career assists. • Nebraska is 7-0 at Pinnacle Bank Arena this season to stretch its home non-conference winning streak to 18 games. The Huskers have not lost a non-conference home game since a loss to Washington State in 2013. The Huskers are 23-1 all-time in home non-conference games at Pinnacle Bank Arena. • Rachel Theriot produced her seventh career double-double and second of the season with 17 points and 15 assists at Cal • Allie Havers is coming off a career-high 18 points at Cal, when she played a career-high 37 minutes off the bench. • Jasmine Cincore has opened her sophomore season strong, producing 35 points, 20 rebounds, 11 assists and nine steals in 128 minutes. • Darrian Washington did not play against North Carolina Central, Southern, at UConn, against NC State, Creighton, Evansville or at Cal. (coach’s decision). Huh? GAME NOTES: Quote
redsteve Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 This may well be our last "training" game.. So we'll see how our defense goes, and if we've done something to the offense to free up Jess inside. Hope we can clean the bench Sat. and rack up points Looking for Clark to hit 3s. Kyndal, RT, & Nat to be in consistent game control form, as the real season is about to begin. I assume we've worked on the fouling issue. Real, phantom, or ref's ?...or some of all. The team will need to cut down the turnovers...a lot. ....Just actually fix some things. The freshmen will bring it, and show some stuff to entertain the crowd, and gain even more confidence. As mentioned the bigs hopefully will further work together to free up shots, and also rebound a ton ! Anybody heard anything new on Maddie's recovery timetable? Will Darrien & Esther play?

Row6Seat10 Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Posted December 18, 2015 Well, it looks like we're going to have to wait another game to see Alicia Ostrander suited up for the Huskers! ....... ...........And that's a good thing! Bugeaters1 and whoopdeedoo 2 Quote
Row6Seat10 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Posted December 19, 2015 Hate to say it, but considering all the circumstances outside of the Husker women's basketball team tomorrow, this may be the lowest attended game of the season. Quote

GBR! The game time is late because of UNL graduation ceremonies in the morning. Doors open 60 minutes prior to tip-off as opposed to 90 minutes for most games. Probably means I won't get to see Woody draining three pointer after three pointer before anyone else takes the floor. Quote

Red Don Posted December 19, 2015 Report Posted December 19, 2015 Maybe it's Passionate (Amukamara) #10 that is making a difference! Quote
