Free Live Audio: Huskers.com/Huskers App/TuneIn App Huskers Return Home to Battle Cal Bears Sunday The Nebraska women’s basketball team returns home after a three-game road swing to take on California Sunday at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tip-off between the Big Red (3-4) and the unbeaten Golden Bears (6-0) is set for 3 p.m., The Huskers, who are 3-1 at home, will shoot for their fourth win against an unbeaten Bears bunch. The Big Red also will try to avenge an 87-80 overtime loss to the Bears in Berkeley last season. If the Huskers are going to be successful, they will have to control the tempo against an explosive and experienced team from Cal. The Bears return four starters who combined for 84 of their 87 of their points in last year’s game. Overall, Cal returns all 87 of those points. On the flip side, Nebraska’s lone returning starter from that game is sophomore Jessica Shepard. The 6-4 forward from Fremont, Neb., was handcuffed with foul trouble and managed just six points, four rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes against the Bears. Shepard is averaging 18.9 points and 10.4 rebounds per game after producing her third double-double of the season with 25 points and 14 rebounds Thursday at Virginia Tech. Current Husker starter Allie Havers had a breakout game against the Bears, erupting for a career-high 18 points on 9-of-15 shooting in 37 minutes off the bench for the Big Red. Overall, Nebraska returns just 26 of its 80 points from its first-ever meeting with Cal last season. Nebraska continues to face one of the top schedules in school history in non-conference play. All eight of the Huskers’ opponents thus far (including Cal) carry .500 or better records into the weekend, including Virginia Tech (7-0), California (6-0), Virginia (5-2), Missouri (5-2), Washington State (4-2), UTRGV (4-3), Omaha (4-3) and Colorado State (3-3) to combine for a 38-15 (.717) overall record. Entering the weekend the Huskers own the nation’s No. 27 strength of schedule, while Cal comes in as the No. 22 RPI team in the country according to the College Basketball News RPI. The Huskers have upcoming games with Drake (RPI 81, 3-2), San Jose State (RPI 182, 2-5), at Creighton (RPI 105, 3-3) and UConn (RPI 2, 6-0).

The Bears are receiving top-25 consideration thanks to four talented returning starters and more depth than they had a year ago. Last season, Cal struggled to a 15-17 overall record and a 4-14 Pac-12 mark to finish 10th in the conference. Along the way, the young Bears defeated Nebraska, 87-80 in overtime at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley on Dec. 15. Cal returns all 87 points the Bears scored in that game.

Sure wish Allie would start to assert herself on the offensive end of the court. She's only taken 10 shots the past three games combined, that ain't enough. She has a really nice shot but rarely takes it. Hope the coaches notice this and devise some plays get her the ball to take more shots going forward.

Hope the team reads what the Daily California says about them. Should provide a lot of motivation for them Sunday when the Bears come to PBA. http://www.dailycal.org/2016/12/01/cal-womens-basketball-ready-overwhelm-nebraska/

Hokies with 24 points off 25 Husker turnovers and 21 second chance points.

Turnovers absolutely killing us the 2nd half.

Huskers up 10 at the half 39-29. Got to do a better job with the defensive rebounding. The Huskers could be 20 points ahead had they not given up so many second chance points.

I apologize for the above post that is not like the usual game preview we've been used to, as we're in the process of doing some different things here on HHC. Some of the functions are yet to be figured out by yours truly. Once I get this figured out, things should be more closer to normal.
