                                               Huskers Take Aim at Sweep of Lady Lions Tuesday

 

The Nebraska women’s basketball team hopes to return to its winning ways while shooting for a sweep of the season series with Penn State, when the Huskers take on the Lady Lions. Tip off is set for 7:00 p.m.

 

Nebraska will try to rebound from a 66-56 road loss at Rutgers, which snapped the Huskers’ six-game conference winning streak. The Big Red were tied at 49 with the Scarlet Knights with 6:50 remaining, but RU outscored NU 17-7 down the stretch to split the season series.

 

Penn State comes to Lincoln with a two-game road winning streak after earning wins at Iowa and Illinois. The Lady Lions are coming off a hard-fought 88-78 double-overtime loss to Purdue. Nebraska won the first game in the series with Penn State, 83-78. Natalie Romeo set a career high with 32 points while setting a school record with eight three-pointers in that game.

 

Penn State Lady Lions to Lincoln with an 8-13 overall record and a 3-7 Big Ten mark after an 88-78 double-overtime loss at Purdue on Saturday. Penn State opened Big Ten play with an impressive 79-72 upset of No. 14 Northwestern on Dec. 31, before dropping five consecutive Big Ten games.

 

Teniya Page led five Lady Lions in double figures with 19 points, in the first meeting with Nebraska. She is the only Lady Lion to start every game this season and is the second-leading freshman scorer in the Big Ten at 15.8 points per game.

 

Brianna Banks added 15 points against NU and ranks second among the Lady Lions with 14.0 points per game. Lindsey Spann pitched in 10 points to give all three PSU starting guards double figures against the Huskers. Spann ranks third among the Lady Lions with 12.8 points per game on the season.

 

Kaliyah Mitchell came off the bench against NU to contribute 14 points, in one of her two non-starts this season. She has regained her place in Penn State’s starting five and is averaging 9.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Peyton Whitted added 12 points. She averages 9.0 points and a team-best 8.0 rebounds per game on the season.

 

Penn State leads the all-time series with Nebraska, 5-4, but the Huskers are 4-3 against the Lady Lions as Big Ten foes.

I'm of the opinion these kids have to play when we have so many injured. You cannot expect starters to put in 38+ minutes at this point in the season each game. Sure, there may be some drop-off so yo

Fun game.   Worth braving the elements to attend.  Small crowd.  We must be joining those who have imaginative counts; no way there were 4500 there as stated in the post game show.     Nice games by

The Penn State team got into town before the storm Monday afternoon.

 

Haven't heard if the refs have made it in or not. Although some think we could do pretty well without them.

Sounds as if Brooke Weisbrod who is scheduled to do the color on tonight's BTN broadcast can't make it into Lincoln for some unknown reason, so her sit in is none other than our own Matt Davison!

I wonder why she couldn't make it. It is still snowing in So. Cent. Nebraska. And it doesn't look to be ending anytime soon. Any guesses as to how many people will show up? Some one can have my seats row 2  seats 11&12 section 106.
