No. 16 Huskers Take on No. 19 Purdue for Share of Big Ten Title The No. 16 Nebraska women’s basketball team will play for at least a share of the Big Ten title while facing No. 19 Purdue on the Boilermakers’ Senior Day in a top-20 showdown on Sunday. Tip-off between the Huskers (22-5, 12-3 Big Ten) and Boilermakers (20-7, 10-5 Big Ten) is set for 1 p.m. (CT) at Mackey Arena with live national television coverage on ESPN2. Bob Picozzi and Ros Gold-Onwude will call the action on TV, while Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch will be on the radio call for the Husker Sports Networkk on flagships B107.3 FM in Lincoln, 1110 AM KFAB in Omaha and 880 AM KRVN in Lexington. A free live audio stream will be available on Huskers.com. The Huskers will be playing in a conference title game for the third straight season as a member of the Big Ten. In 2012, Nebraska dropped a 74-70 double-overtime thriller to Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Last season, the Big Red battled Penn State for a share of the regular-season conference title in NU’s final home game in history at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on March 3. The Huskers lost that game 82-57. Huskers Jordan Hooper, Emily Cady and Hailie Sample, who will be making their 95th consecutive starts together, were all starters on both of those Nebraska teams, while juniors Tear’a Laudermill and Brandi Jeffery have both played major roles each of the last two seasons. Those five Huskers are hungry for their first conference title, while also trying to snap Purdue’s four-game winning streak in the series. Nebraska’s lone win against the Boilermakers came in the first meeting ever between the two schools, a 93-89 triple-overtime win on Feb. 2, 2012 at Mackey Arena. Since then, Purdue has won four games in four different buildings (Devaney Center, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Sears Centre Arena, Pinnacle Bank Arena), including two more that went OT. The most recent game came down to a Whitney Bays game-winning putback with two seconds left in a 77-75 Purdue victory on Jan. 19 in Lincoln.

Huskers vs. Boilermakers Purdue leads the all-time series with Nebraska 4-1, including a 77-75 victory over the Huskers in Lincoln on Sunday, Jan. 19. Purdue was the last team to escape Pinnacle Bank Arena thanks to a putback by Whitney Bays with two seconds left. It was another nailbiter in a five-game series that includes six overtime periods. The Huskers opened the series with an epic 93-89 triple overtime victory in West Lafayette, Ind., on Feb. 2, 2012. Little more than a month later, the two teams went double-overtime in the Big Ten Championship Game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with Purdue notching a 74-70 win. Last season, Purdue added a 69-66 overtime win over the Big Red at the Devaney Center on Jan. 5, 2013.

Huskers Complete Another Perfect February in Big Ten Nebraska closed February with a perfect 8-0 record, stretching its February winning streak to 16 games. NU’s last February loss came at Michigan State on Feb. 23, 2012. Nebraska is 18-4 overall, including 9-2 at home and 9-2 on the road in February as a member of the Big Ten. The Huskers were 7-0 in February of 2013 as part of a 10-game overall winning streak last season. This year, the Big Red went 8-0 in February as part of their current nine-game winning streak. NU also closed February of 2012 with a 71-57 win over No. 8 Ohio State.

Huskers Lighting It Up in Nine-Game Winning Streak Nebraska has unleashed nine straight wins after posting a 72-65 victory over Illinois on Thursday in Lincoln. The Huskers opened the week by rolling to a 94-74 victory over No. 8 Penn State on Monday night, Nebraska’s first win over a top-10 team in the history of Pinnacle Bank Arena and its second over a top-25 foe during the Huskers’ current winning streak. Both of the Big Red’s wins over ranked foes have been by 20 points, including a 76-56 win over the other team in the hunt for the Big Ten title, Michigan State on Feb. 8. Nebraska’s surge began with an 84-51 victory over Michigan in Game No. 19 on Jan. 29. That game included a pregame talk and jersey retirement for 2010 All-American and Senior CLASS Award winner Kelsey Griffin. After another double-digit win at Iowa (80-67, Feb. 1), the Huskers escaped from Wisconsin with a 71-70 overtime victory Feb. 5. After the rout of the Spartans on Feb. 8, the Huskers completed a sweep at Michigan (76-68, Feb. 13). NU rolled to another double-digit win over Indiana (76-61, Feb. 16) at Pinnacle Bank Arena, before rallying for a 67-59 victory at Ohio State Feb. 20. Nebraska is 5-0 at home during the streak, winning by an average of 19 points, while scoring 80.4 points per game. The Huskers are shooting 48.2 percent from the field at home during the streak, including a sizzling 42 percent from three-point range while averaging 10 threes per game. The Huskers have dished out 109 assists (21.8 apg) while committing just 48 turnovers (9.6 pg) to post a plus-3.8 turnover margin per game. Overall, NU has outscored the opposition 77.3-63.4 during the nine-game winning streak, while posting a plus-3.9 rebounding margin and a plus-2.9 turnover margin. The Huskers are shooting 47.1 percent from the field, 42.2 percent from three-point range and 79.8 percent at the free throw line. NU’s assist-to-turnover ratio during the streak is 166-to-92 (1.8). Last season, NU reeled off 10 straight wins starting with Game No. 19 at Minnesota (Jan. 20, 2012).

Hooper’s Senior Night Continues Late-Season Surge Jordan Hooper was honored as Nebraska’s lone senior following the Big Red’s Senior Night win over Illinois on Thursday. Before the 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., was honored by the Huskers and their fans on the floor, Hooper produced another huge game. The two-time first-team All-Big Ten choice poured in 29 points,

including five three-pointers, while pulling down nine rebounds and dishing out two assists. Over the last four games, Hooper has been scaulding hot. The two-time All-American is averaging 25.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while averaging five made threes per game. She is shooting 47.9 percent from the field, including 45.5 percent (20-44) from long range. She has also dished out six assists and grabbed six steals while blocking two shots. For the season, Hooper has increased her season averages to 20.4 points

and 9.3 rebounds per game to rank in the top three in the Big Ten in both categories. She has added 1.3 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Hooper is one of just three Huskers and five Big Ten players in history to produce 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career. She ranks No. 2 at Nebraska all-time in both points (2,237) and rebounds (1,063) and both of those numbers rank 11th in Big Ten history. Hooper is Nebraska’s career three-point leader with 284, which ranks No. 5 in Big Ten history, right behind Illinois senior Amber Moore’s 289. A candidate for every major national player-of-the-year award and the 2014 Senior CLASS Award, Hooper will start her 126th consecutive game on Sunday at Purdue. She is the first senior in Nebraska history to lead the Huskers to three straight 20-win seasons, and is on track to lead the Huskers to their third straight NCAA Tournament. A psychology major, Hooper will earn her bachelor’s degree from Nebraska in May.

Huskers Notch History-Making Third Straight 20-Win Season Nebraska has produced its third consecutive 20-win campaign for the first time in program history and 2013-14 Huskers are within striking distance of some of the top seasons in school history. Coach Connie Yori is in the midst of leading the Huskers to the most successful era in school history. The 2013-14 Huskers are 22-5 overall and 12-3 in the Big Ten while riding a nine-game winning streak. It marks the third straight season that NU has won 10 or more Big Ten Conference games. The 2012-13 Nebraska squad earned its second NCAA Sweet 16 selection in the past four years, while rolling to 25 wins - the second-highest victory total in school history. The 2011-12 Huskers worked their way to 24 victories, which ranks as the third-highest win total in school history. Nebraska, which has secured its sixth 20-win season in the past eight years, had managed only five 20-win seasons in the previous 26 years before Yori led the Huskers to 22 wins in 2006-07. It is NU’s 15th 20-win season in the 39th full year of women’s basketball as a varsity sport. Nebraska owns four 20-win seasons in the last five years, which has included the three top victory totals in school history, including an NU-record 32 wins in 2009-10. Prior to Yori’s arrival in 2002-03, NU’s record for single-season wins was 23 (1978-79, 1979-80, 1992-93, 1997-98).

Huskers Claim Third Consecutive 10-Win Big Ten Campaign Nebraska (12-3) has posted its third straight 10-win Big Ten season in its third year in the conference. Nebraska went 12-4 in 2013, after producing a 10-6 conference mark in its first Big Ten season in 2012. With one game to play in the conference, the Huskers have joined Michigan State (12-3), Penn State (12-3) and Purdue (10-5) across the 10-win mark for the third straight year. The Spartans own the longest active streak of double-digit Big Ten wins, dating back 12 seasons to a six-win campaign in 2001-02. Penn State has produced four consecutive seasons with 10 or more wins. Purdue owns four straight seasons with double-figure league wins after a victory against Wisconsin over the weekend to improve to a 10-5 mark.

Vote Hooper for Senior CLASS Award Nebraska All-American Jordan Hooper was chosen as one of 10 finalists for the 2014 Senior CLASS Award, when selections were announced on Feb. 12. Hooper, a 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., ranks second in Husker history in points, rebounds and double-doubles and is the school record holder with 284 three-pointers. She is also one of just five players in Big Ten history to achieve the combined milestones of 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. A candidate for the Wade, Naismith and Wooden National Player-of-the-Year awards, Hooper is trying to become the second Husker women’s basketball player to win the Senior CLASS Award in the last five years, joining 2010 winner Kelsey Griffin. The award recognizes outstanding commitment by a senior student-athlete in the areas of competition, character, the classroom and in the community. Fans can vote on the award once per day per device by visiting SeniorCLASSAward.com. Fan votes will join choices by media and coaches as the determining factors in selecting a winner, which will be announced at the NCAA Women’s Final Four. Husker fans can vote for Hooper now through March 24. As of Noon on Feb. 28, Hooper was leading the fan vote with 33.3 percent of the overall vote among the 10 candidates.

Big Red, Big Picture • Nebraska 2013-14 recruiting class is ranked No. 9 nationally by ESPN. • Nebraska has sold more than 4,200 all-session tickets for the NCAA Lincoln Regional (March 29-31). • Nebraska recognized 2013 All-American Lindsey Moore during the Oral Roberts game (Dec. 29) for her part in helping the Minnesota Lynx to the 2013 WNBA title. The first-round pick in the WNBA Draft returned to Lincoln from her professional team in Italy to receive a minute-long standing ovation. • Nebraska retired 2010 All-American Kelsey Griffin’s jersey at the Michigan game (Jan. 29). The 2010 Senior CLASS Award winner and Nebraska Female Student-Athlete of the Year had her number raised at Pinnacle Bank Arena, but not permanently retired. Current Husker Emily Cady shares Griffin’s No. 23. Griffin, a four-year WNBA veteran, made a return trip to Lincoln from her club team in Australia. • The Huskers have advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 twice in the last four seasons (2010, 2013). • NU has earned NCAA Tournament trips in five of the past seven seasons (2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013). • Coach Connie Yori is the winningest coach in Husker history (237 victories) and has won conference coach-of-the-year honors in the Big Ten (2013), Big 12 (2012) and Missouri Valley (2002). She was the national coach-of-the-year in 2010.

Scouting the Purdue Boilermakers Coach Sharon Versyp and No. 19 Purdue head into Sunday’s Senior Day game at Mackey Arena trying to lock up a top-four seed at next week’s Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis. The Boilermakers are tied with Iowa for fourth in the Big Ten standings at 10-5, but Purdue owns the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Hawkeyes thanks to a 74-73 win in West Lafayette on Feb. 16. Purdue joins the Huskers as the hottest teams in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers have won five straight games since losing senior point guard KK Houser to a season-ending ACL injury late in an 89-73 loss at Michigan State on Feb. 2. Since the loss to the Spartans, the only team that has scored more than 58 points against Purdue was the high-scoring Hawkeyes. Purdue held Minnesota to 42 in Minneapolis Feb. 20, Wisconsin to 54 Feb. 23, Michigan to 56 in Ann Arbor and Ohio State to 58 at home to start the Boilermakers five-game winning streak on Feb. 6. While Nebraska played eight games in February, including two this week, Purdue played just six in February and will have had six days off to prepare for the Huskers. The Boilermakers, who will honor the Lincoln native Houser and fellow seniors Courtney Moses (14.9 ppg, 3.3 rpg) and Dee Dee Williams (2.5 ppg, 1.9 rpg) on Senior Day, are 5-2 in home Big Ten play this season, with a three-point loss to Penn State and a 16-point setback to Michigan. The loss to the Wolverines came as the second game of a four-game in eight-day stretch for Purdue that was capped by a 77-75 last-second win over the Huskers in Lincoln on Jan. 19. It was the Huskers’ only home loss in Big Ten play this season. Moses led Purdue with 21 points on 5-of-9 three-point shooting, while Houser added 16 points and four threes in the win over the Big Red. Sophomore starter April Wilson pitched in 13 points, while junior forward Whitney Bays struck for 17 points, including the game-winning putback with two seconds left. Bays, who is a leading contender for Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year, scored all 17 of her points in the second half, while adding seven rebounds and three steals. Bays is averaging 11.5 points and 7.4 rebounds per game on the season, including 12.3 points and 9.1 boards in Big Ten play. The other five Boilermakers who saw action in the game combined for 10 points, including starting forward Liza Clemons, who had six points and six boards. Clemons is averaging 9.2 points and 5.7 rebounds on the year. Junior forward Camille Redmon, the younger sister of former Husker Catheryn Redmon, has moved into the starting five for the Boilermakers since Houser’s injury. Camille Redmon managed two points and four rebounds against NU. She is contributing 4.1 points and 4.9 rebounds on the year, including 6.2 points and 7.2 rebounds over the past five games. Purdue plays a deep rotation that includes Bridget Perry (3.3 ppg, 1.7 rpg), Ashley Morrissette (2.5 ppg, 0.6 rpg), Torrie Thornton (1.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg) and Hayden Hamby (1.3 ppg, 1.1 rpg). In Big Ten play, Purdue is shooting just 40.1 percent from the field, but has hit a sizzling 37 percent from long range, while knocking down 6.3 threes per game. Overall, Purdue is the second-best free throw shooting team in the Big Ten (.784), trailing only Nebraska (.786). The Boilermakers own a plus-4.6 rebound margin and a plus-0.5 turnover margin in league play. Purdue has outscored Big Ten foes, 73.7-67.1. However, over the last five games Purdue has been more dominant, averaging 69.6 points, while allowing just 56.6 points per contest (+13.0 ppg). The Boilermakers also carry a plus-6.4 rebound margin and a plus-1.6 turnover margin the last five games.

Nebraska vs. Purdue Series History Purdue leads the all-time series with Nebraska 4-1, with four straight wins including a 77-75 victory on a Whitney Bays putback with two seconds left to hand the Huskers their only Big Ten home loss of the year on Jan. 19. It was the latest chapter in a five-game series filled with thrillers. Only Purdue’s 77-64 victory over the Huskers in last season’s Big Ten semifinals at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill., was decisive. The first three games went a total of six overtimes. The Huskers opened the series with an epic 93-89 triple overtime victory in West Lafayette, Ind., on Feb. 2, 2012. Little more than a month later, the two teams went double-overtime in the Big Ten Championship


Game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with Purdue notching a 74-70 win. Last season, Purdue added a 69-66 overtime win over the Big Red at the Devaney Center on Jan. 5, 2013.

Hooper Shoots Huskers to Senior Night Win Over Illinois Jordan Hooper scored 29 points and grabbed nine rebounds on her Senior Night to shoot No. 16 Nebraska to a 72-65 victory over Illinois in the final regular-season home game at Pinnacle Bank Arena in 2013-14. With the victory, Nebraska tied a school record with its 16th home win of the year, while extending its overall winning streak to nine games. The Huskers also completed their second straight unbeaten February. Hooper hit five of Nebraska’s 10 three-pointers on the night, while Tear’a Laudermill added four threes on her way to 15 points. Laudermill also hit three clutch free throws in the final minutes to help the Huskers hold off a late Illini rally. Emily Cady added her 12th double-double of the year and 20th of her career with 10 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, while also dishing out five assists. Rachel Theriot provided another strong all-around effort with eight points, six rebounds and a game-high 10 assists. Hooper scored 13 first-half points to help NU to a 38-31 halftime lead before producing NU’s first 12 points of the second half. Nebraska led by as many as 11 points at 57-46 with 8:02 left, before Illinois cut the margin to 65-63 with three minutes left. NU hit 7-of-8 free throws in the final 2:06 to seal the win.

Double Trouble: Hooper, Cady Making History Together Emily Cady ranks second in the Big Ten with 12 double-doubles, while Jordan Hooper is tied for third with 11 double-doubles on the year to become the first Husker teammates to produce double-digit double-doubles in the same season. Cady, who recorded her 12th double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds in Nebraska’s win over Illinois Feb. 27, owns 20 career double-doubles. Hooper, who notched her most recent double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds in NU’s win over No. 8 Penn State Feb. 24, owns 37 in her career. She trails on 2010 All-American Kelsey Griffin’s 40 double-doubles in Husker history. Hooper, who had 14 double-doubles as a sophomore in 2011-12, joins Griffin and 1993 Wade Trophy winner Karen Jennings (36) as the only Huskers with two double-digit double-double seasons. Cady’s 12 double-doubles this season made her just the sixth Husker in history to produce 10 or more double-doubles in a season, joining Hooper (14, 2011-12; 10, 2013-14), Griffin (10, 2006-07; 20, 2009-10), Jennings (13, 1990-91; 13, 1991-92); Nafeesah Brown (16, 1993-94), Maurtice Ivy (10, 1985-86) and Carol Garey (10, 1978-79). Nebraska players have produced 10 double-digit double-double seasons.

Hooper Named to Wooden Midseason Top 20, Naismith Top 30 Two-time All-American Jordan Hooper was one of 21 players chosen to the Wooden Award Midseason Top 20 and the Naismith Trophy Midseason Top 30 in recent weeks. Hooper is also a member of the Wade Watch List in 2014. Hooper, a 6-2 senior forward from Alliance, Neb., is a two-time WBCA and Associated Press honorable-mention All-American and a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection. She is just the third player in Nebraska history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds in her career, joining 1993 Wade Trophy winner Karen Jennings and 2010 first-team WBCA All-American Kelsey Griffin. Hooper, who has scored 2,237 points and pulled down 1,063 rebounds in starting the first 125 games of her Husker career, also owns the school three-point record with 284. Hooper has averaged nearly 72 three-pointers per season at Nebraska, including 81 a year ago when she helped shoot the Huskers to the 2013 NCAA Sweet 16. Over the summer, Hooper helped the USA Basketball Women’s World University Games Team to a gold medal in Kazan, Russia. In the championship, Hooper earned a start and scored nine points while grabbing nine rebounds while going head-to-head against several members of Russia’s 2012 Olympic Team. Hooper was one of three players from the Big Ten to earn mention on the Wooden Award Midseason Top 20 and the Wade and Naismith preseason lists, joining Penn State’s Maggie Lucas and Minnesota’s Rachel Banham.

Nebraska Celebrates Season One at New Arena Nebraska celebrates its first season in Pinnacle Bank Arena in 2013-14. The arena, located in the historic Haymarket in downtown Lincoln just steps away from the Nebraska campus, will serve as the new home

for Husker men’s and women’s basketball teams. The $179 million project was completed in the summer of 2013 after being approved by voters in May of 2010. A ribbon cutting ceremony that included Governor Dave Heineman, Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler, UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman, Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst and Husker coaches Connie Yori and Tim Miles, tipped off the opening of the new arena in late August. The 470,400-square foot arena project has sparked a revitalization of the Haymarket District, including the addition of several new hotels and upscale housing options. It also has added the Railyard, an outdoor entertainment area adjacent to the arena. The Railyard

includes “The Cube” a massive outdoor screen that will serve as a hub for other entertainment options. In “Season One” at Pinnacle Bank Arena, the Husker women’s basketball program has experienced more than a 50 percent increase in season ticket sales, surpassing the 3,200 mark. The number shattered NU’s previous season ticket record. The women’s program was also selected as one of four NCAA Regional hosts for the 2014 NCAA Tournament. The Huskers will play host to the NCAA Sweet 16 and Elite Eight rounds at Pinnacle Bank

Arena, March 29-31. Nebraska has advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 in two of the past four seasons, but Lincoln has not played host to an NCAA Tournament game in men’s or women’s basketball since 1993. On the men’s side, the Huskers have sold out for the season, guaranteeing a school-record average of more than 15,000 per game in their first year at the arena.

Hooper Creating Historic Husker Career Senior Jordan Hooper is leaving a legacy of success at Nebraska, while making her mark on the national landscape. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., ranks No. 8 among active NCAA Division I scorers with 2,237 career points. She ranks No. 14 among active Division I rebounders with 1,063 career boards. Hooper is No. 7 among active career three-point shooters with 284 makes and is one of only two forwards among the top 25, joining UConn’s Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (251). Hooper is one of only nine active Division I players to achieve career milestones of 2,000 points and 1,000 career rebounds. She ranks No. 5 in career field goal attempts (1,947), No. 7 in career three-point field goal attempts (825) and No. 11 in career field goals made (776) among all active NCAA Division I players.

Hooper Joins Big Ten All-Time Elite Jordan Hooper became just the fifth player in Big Ten Conference history to achieve combined career milestones of 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, when she pulled down her 1,000th career board in the second half of Nebraska’s win over Michigan on Jan. 29. She enters the Purdue game with 2,237 points and 1,063 career rebounds, joining just four other Big Ten players - Jessica Davenport and Jantel Lavender from Ohio State, Jenna Smith from Illinois and Laura Coenen from Minnesota - in achieving the dual milestones. Lavender (2008-11) scored 2,818 points and grabbed 1,422 rebounds, while Davenport (2004-07) had 2,303 points and 1,094 rebounds for the Buckeyes. Smith (2007-10) produced 2,160 points and 1,217 rebounds for the Fighting Illini, while Coenen (1982-85) was the first Big Ten player to achieve the marks with 2,044 points and 1,029 rebounds for the Golden Gophers. Hooper, who is on track to rank among the top 10 career scorers and rebounders in Big Ten history, would join Davenport, Lavender and Smith as the only players in Big Ten history to rank among the top 10 on both lists. All three of those players were chosen in the top 15 in their respective WNBA Drafts.

Cady, Theriot, Laudermill Producing All-Big Ten-Caliber Seasons Emily Cady is a two-time honorable-mention All-Big Ten pick who is making an impressive case for bigger honors as a junior. The 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., enters the Purdue game ranked second in the Big Ten with 12 double-doubles, including eight in conference play. Cady is averaging a double-double with 12.8 points and 10.0 rebounds in league action. In Big Ten play, Cady ranks third in rebounding (10.0 rpg), third in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.0-to-1), eighth in assists (4.1 apg) and 22nd in scoring (12.8 ppg). Overall, she ranks 23rd in scoring (13.1 ppg), tied for third in rebounding (9.3 rpg), 11th in assists (3.2 apg), sixth in field goal percentage (.516), eighth in free throw percentage (.849), fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.6), third in defensive rebounds (6.9 rpg) and seventh in offensive rebounds (2.4 rpg). Sophomore Rachel Theriot also has been a dominant player in the Big Ten. The 6-0 point guard from Middleburg Heights, Ohio, ranks second among the Huskers with 15.1 points, while leading NU with 7.6 assists per Big Ten game. The two-time Big Ten Player of the Week (Jan. 20, Feb. 25) ranks ninth in Big Ten play in scoring (15.1 ppg), while ranking second in assists (7.6 apg). She leads the Big Ten in assist-to-turnover ratio in conference games (2.9) and minutes played (39.3 mpg), while ranking third in three-point percentage (.457) and 11th in field goal percentage (.486). Both Cady and Theriot were Big Ten All-Freshman selections early in their careers. Cady was chosen to the All-Freshman Team in 2011-12, while Theriot earned a spot in 2012-13. Tear’a Laudermill put together a fantastic February to throw her name in the hat for All-Big Ten honors as well. Laudermill erupted for a career-high 27 points and a school-record-tying seven three-pointers in Nebraska’s win over No. 8 Penn State Feb. 24. It was the latest act in a February to remember for the 5-9 junior guard from Riverside, Calif., who opened the month with a then-career-high 26 points and four threes in a win at Iowa on Feb. 1. She followed with 21 points and a then-career-high five three-pointers in a road win at Wisconsin on Feb. 5. In Big Ten play, Laudermill ranks third among the Huskers with 13.8 points per game to rank 15th in the league in scoring. Laudermill’s 46.3 three-point field goal percentage ranks third in league play, while her 2.5 made threes per game rank fourth.

Husker Front Line to Make 95th Straight Starts Together Nebraska’s starting forwards of Jordan Hooper (125), Emily Cady (94) and Hailie Sample (94) have joined each other in the Huskers’ starting five for 94 consecutive games. The inside trio has been joined in the Husker starting lineup for each of the last 55 games by Rachel Theriot. Brandi Jeffery started the first three games of 2013-14 with the quartet, after starting the first three games of 2012-13 with Hooper, Cady and Sample before being replaced in the starting five by Theriot. Tear’a Laudermill has taken over the starting role the past 24 games. Consistent starting lineups are nothing new for the Huskers under Coach Connie Yori. In 2011-12, fifth-year senior guard Kaitlyn Burke joined Moore, Hooper, Cady and Sample in NU’s starting lineup for every game. Three times in Yori’s first 12 seasons at Nebraska, the Huskers have used the same starting five for every game in a season, including all 33 games in 2011-12. The 2006-07 Huskers featured the same starting five for 32 games on their way to a 22-10 season and the NCAA Tournament. Yori’s 2003-04 Huskers also used the same starting five for 30 games on their way to an 18-12 season and a WNIT bid. A full year with the same starting five is rare in women’s college basketball. In fact, Nebraska was the only Big Ten team to feature the same starting five throughout 2011-12, and was one of only three teams in the 2012 NCAA Tournament to start the same five every game. Kansas State and BYU were the others. Over the past nine seasons, Nebraska has used only 22 different starting lineups in 286 games.

Hooper Smashing Husker Career Three-Point Record With five three-pointers in Nebraska’s win over Illinois Feb. 27, All-American Jordan Hooper pushed the Nebraska career three-point record to 284. She hit a season-high six threes against Indiana Feb. 16 to

pass Kiera Hardy’s previous school record of 267 (2004-07). No other Husker has hit 200 threes. Hooper, who hit 67 three-pointers in each of her first two seasons as a Husker, knocked down 81 in 2012-13, to match Hardy’s 2005-06 total for the most by a junior in school history. Hooper owns 69 this season, including 20 over NU’s past four games. Hooper did not attempt a three on her way to a 33-point, 14-rebound effort against Utah State Dec. 8. It is the only game in Hooper’s career without a three-point attempt. She also went without hitting a three in Nebraska’s win over Creighton on Dec. 14. It marked just the second time in her career that

she went without a made three in consecutive games, joining a home game against Kansas (0-2) on Jan. 16, 2010, and a road game at Kansas State (0-3) on Jan. 22, 2010 during her freshman season. This season Hooper has hit three or more threes in a game on 13 occasions, including seven of the last eight games.

Hooper Puts Up Double-Doubles at Record Rate Jordan Hooper ranks second all-time at Nebraska with 37 career double-doubles, following her 19-point, 12-rebound performance in Nebraska’s 94-74 win over No. 8 Penn State Feb. 24. It was her third double-

double during Nebraska’s nine-game winning streak, joining her 25 points and 13 rebounds at Iowa on Feb. 1, and 25 points and 10 boards against Michigan on Jan. 29. Hooper owns 11 double-doubles this season and five in Big Ten play. She also had 18 points, 10 rebounds against Minnesota on Jan. 16, and 14 points and 10 boards against Northwestern on Jan. 2. She owns two huge doubles this season with 30 points and 11 rebounds

in a win over Oral Roberts on Dec. 29 and 33 points, 14 rebounds in a win over Utah State on Dec. 8. Hooper, who produced three double-doubles in Big Ten play in 2013, has produced some monstrous doubles in her career. In fact, 21 of her career double-doubles have included 20-point scoring efforts, including five of her eight career 30-point games. Her 30th career double-double came with 24 points and 14 rebounds in a loss to Washington State on Nov. 30. Last season in a win at 2013 NCAA second-round participant South Florida, Hooper poured in 24 points and had 14 rebounds. The previous game against 2013 NCAA second-round participant Florida State, Hooper erupted for 36 points and 12 boards in a win on Dec. 8, 2012. She recorded her 20th career double-double with 29 points and 10 boards against Idaho State on Dec. 1, 2012. In the 2012 Big Ten Tournament, Hooper produced three double-doubles in four games, including 25 points and 10 boards against No. 21 Purdue and 21 points and 10 rebounds against No. 14 Ohio State. Earlier in the 2011-12 season, Hooper had 19 points and a career-high 18 rebounds in a win at Wisconsin on Feb. 19, 2012. She added 22 points and 15 rebounds against Iowa on Jan. 26, 2012. Hooper led the Big Ten and ranked among the top 25 players nationally with 14 double-doubles in 2011-12. Hooper, who produced double figures in 32 of Nebraska’s 33 games, recorded 14 double-figure rebounding performances as a sophomore. Hooper’s 14 double-doubles ranked as the third-highest single-season total in school history, trailing only first-team All-American Kelsey Griffin’s 20 in 2009-10, and Nafeesah Brown’s 16 in 1993-94. Griffin and Brown were both seniors when they produced their impressive double-figure totals. As a sophomore, Hooper became just the fifth player in Nebraska history to post double-figure double-doubles in a season, joining Griffin (10, 2006-07, 20, 2009-10), Brown (16, 1993-94), Karen Jennings

Big Red Playing Big on Boards Nebraska has produced a plus-6.0 rebounding margin over 27 games in 2013-14, outrebounding opponents by an average of 40.5-34.5. The Huskers are on track for the second-best rebounding margin in school history, trailing only the plus-8.6 margin put up by the 1997-98 Husker squad that advanced to the second round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament. Jordan Hooper and Emily Cady lead NU’s barrage on the boards with 9.3 rebounds per game to tie for third in the Big Ten. Hooper owns 13 double-digit rebound games on the year. Hooper owns 15 rebounds against Creighton, 14 against Washington State and Utah State, 13 against Alabama and Iowa, 12 against Penn State and at Utah, 11 against UCLA and ORU, and 10 against Minnesota, Northwestern and UMass-Lowell. Emily Cady has averaged 10.0 rebounds in Big Ten play and owns 13 double-digit rebound games of her own on the year, including a career-high-matching 16 against Purdue on Jan. 19. She added 14 boards against Southern, 13 against Indiana, Minnesota and Washington State, 12 against Illinois and at Michigan State, 11 against Ohio State, Wisconsin and Alabama, and 10 against Utah State, Illinois and Northwestern.

Free Throws Pay Off Big For Big Red Nebraska has outscored its first 27 opponents by an average of 15.2-7.6 (+7.6 ppg) at the free throw line. The Huskers have made 411 free throws, compared to just 204 by their opponents. The Huskers are shooting 78.6 percent at the line as a team, which leads the Big Ten. Last season, Nebraska produced the second-best team free throw percentage in school history (.755). For the season, Nebraska has outscored the opposition by a total of 356 points, with 207 of those coming at the free throw line. Rachel Theriot ranks fourth in the Big Ten in free throw percentage (.891, 57-64), while Emily Cady (.849, 118-139) ranks eighth.

Huskers More Than Fair in Foul Department Nebraska’s dominance at the free throw line starts with the Huskers winning the fight in the foul department. NU leads the Big Ten and ranks third nationally by committing just 13.7 fouls per game. While the Huskers barely put their opponents in the bonus each game, they consistently force double-bonus free throw situations by the opposition. Nebraska’s opponents are averaging 19.0 fouls per game against the Big Red. Nebraska’s plus-5.3 differential in fouls per game and its 78.6 percent free throw shooting has allowed the Big Red to outscore its opponents by 207 points at the line this season (7.7 ppg). Nebraska has continued a non-fouling trend from last season. The Huskers were whistled for just 12.8 fouls per game last season, including 11 fouls per game in Big Ten regular-season games.

@RachTheRiot Wreaking Havoc on Opposing Defenses Rachel Theriot has emerged as one of the top young point guards in the nation in 2013-14. The 6-0 sophomore is averaging 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.0 steal per game. She has been even better in Big Ten play averaging 15.1 points and 7.6 assists, while adding 3.6 rebounds per game and leading the Big Ten with 39.3 minutes per game. Her 2.8-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio also leads the Big Ten in conference action. Last season, All-American Lindsey Moore averaged 15.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Overall, Theriot ranks second in the Big Ten and ninth in the nation with 6.7 assists per game. Her Big Ten-best 2.5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio also ranks 22nd nationally. During Nebraska’s nine-game winning streak, Theriot owns a 3.9-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio while averaging 8.2 assists per game. Over the last four games, Theriot has averaged 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists while posting a 4.3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Theriot, who owns four double-digit assist games, has produced a pair of double-doubles in Big Ten play, including 11 points and 11 assists in NU’s win at Wisconsin Feb. She notched her first career double-double with 10 points and 11 assists in Nebraska’s home game against Michigan on Jan. 29. She just missed another double-double with nine points, a career-high 12 assists and five rebounds in NU’s win over No. 24 Michigan State Feb. 8, before adding eight points and 10 assists in the win over Illinois Thursday. On Jan. 16 against Minnesota, Theriot scored a career-high 33 points on 11-of-15 shooting from the field, including 3-of-4 three-pointers, while knocking down all eight of her free throws. She hit Nebraska’s final two free throws with 14.9 seconds left to seal an 88-85 overtime win over the Gophers. Theriot scored 21 points after halftime and played a career-high 45 minutes in the game.

She dished out a then-career-high nine assists and did not commit a turnover. She added another nearly flawless effort with 23 points, six rebounds, eight assists, two steals, a block and no turnovers in Nebraska’s 76-61 win over Indiana Feb. 16. Theriot followed with 26 points, seven rebounds and four assists in the Huskers’ win at Ohio State Feb. 20, before adding 17 points and eight assists while knocking down all three of her three-pointers in NU’s 94-74 run past No. 8 Penn State. For her effort against the Buckeyes and Lady Lions, Theriot was named Big Ten Player of the Week for the second time in a six-week span. Earlier this season, Theriot erupted for a then-career-high 28 points, while matching her career best with seven rebounds in NU’s 75-69 win at Utah on Nov. 15. She added four assists while going a career-best 8-for-8 at the free throw line. She scored 19 points and had five rebounds in the second half, while going 6-for-6 at the line in the game’s final 35 seconds to seal the victory. In Nebraska’s Big Ten-opening win over Northwestern, Theriot produced game highs of 19 points and eight assists while committing just one turnover. She added six rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot while playing the full 40 minutes. She also hit two huge shot-clock buzzer-beaters late in the second half and grabbed NU’s final defensive rebound. She scored a team-high 19 points and added four assists while playing the full 40 minutes against Purdue on Jan. 19. She hit two free throws in a one-and-one situation with 27.9 seconds left to tie the game at 75. Theriot added 11 points, six assists and a blocked shot for the third straight game in NU’s win at Illinois on Jan. 12. It followed an 11-point, eight-assist night at Michigan State Jan. 9, when she tied a career high with three three-pointers. Theriot has scored in double figures 18 times this season. Theriot pumped in 17 points and dished out five assists in a win over Alabama, after distributing a career-high nine assists in the season-opening victory over UCLA. She had 13 points and eight assists in a win over Southern Nov. 24, before adding 10 points, six rebounds and six assists against Washington State, Nov. 30. Theriot contributed 12 points and five assists in a loss at No. 18 North Carolina on Dec. 4, before producing 11 points, four rebounds and eight assists in the win over Utah State Dec. 8. As a starter at shooting guard as a freshman, the Middleburg Heights, Ohio, native averaged 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game and earned Big Ten All-Freshman honors.

Laudermill on a Tear in Big Ten Play In her first season as a starter, junior Tear’a Laudermill is emerging as one of the most explosive players in the Big Ten in conference action. The 5-9 guard from Riverside, Calif., is averaging 13.8 points, 2.3

rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in conference play. She has been at her best during NU’s current nine-game winning streak, averaging 15.9 points while hitting 3.2 three-pointers per game. She produced a school-record-tying seven three-pointers on her way to a career-high 27 points in Nebraska’s win over No. 8 Penn State Feb. 24. She added 15 points on 4-of-10 three-point shooting in NU’s win over Illinois Thursday. Laudermill’s production has steadily increased

throughout her Husker career in a similar way that former Husker All-Big 12 guard and current professional Yvonne Turner grew during her career. Laudermill averaged 4.0 points and 1.5 rebounds per game as a freshman, before contributing 5.9 points and 1.8 boards per game as a sophomore. Over the last nine games Laudermill has 48.5 percent (49-101) of her shots from the field, including 49.2 percent (29-59) of her threes. She erupted for a then-career-high 26 points on 9-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-6 threes in a win at Iowa on Feb. 1, before adding her second career 20-point effort with 21 points and a then-career-high five threes in a 71-70 OT win at Wisconsin on Feb. 5. She opened the nine-game stretch with a then-career-high-matching 18 points in a win over Michigan on Jan. 29, after she had established the high with 18 points at Northwestern on Jan. 26. The most notable jump though has come in Laudermill’s efficiency. As a freshman in 2011-12, Laudermill shot just 27 percent from the field and 52.4 percent at the free line. As a sophomore, Laudermill hit 35.1 percent of her shots from the field and 73.8 percent of her free throws. This season, she is shooting 45.1 percent from the field, including 41.5 percent from long range, and a sparkling 83.3 percent at the line.

NCAA Lincoln Regional All-Session Tickets Selling Strong The University of Nebraska was awarded one of four regional host sites for the 2014 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, announced by the NCAA on Wednesday, Oct. 9. The Huskers will host the four-team regional at Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln, March 29 and 31. All-session tickets went on sale to the general public on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 8 a.m., and sales have been strong, more than 4,200 as of Monday, Feb. 24. All-session reserved seats are $40, while all-session general admission seating is available for just $25 over three games. The GA seats include lower level seats behind each basket (sections 101 and 112), along with 200 and 300 Level seats. Student tickets are available for just $15 ($5 per game if purchased in advance, all-session). “It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Nebraska women’s basketball program, and the NCAA Regional announcement just keeps that building,” Coach Connie Yori said. “We’ve got a long way to go as a team before we can even think about the possibility of getting back to the Sweet 16 this year, but it is certainly a great opportunity for men’s and women’s basketball fans to have a chance to watch college basketball being played at a really high level at the end of March in Lincoln.”

The last time the University of Nebraska served as a host for the an NCAA men’s or women’s basketball tournament came on March 17, 1993, when the Husker women defeated San Diego, 81-58, in the first round at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. It is the only game the Nebraska women’s basketball team has ever played on its home court in the NCAA Tournament. The other three NCAA Regional sites are Louisville, Ky., Notre Dame, Ind., and Stanford, Calif. The 16 NCAA first- and second-round locations are Baylor, Duke, Iowa, Iowa State, Kentucky, LSU, Maryland, North Carolina, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Toledo, UConn, UCLA and Washington. The NCAA Women’s Final Four will be held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., April 6-8.

Huskers Sign Top Recruiting Class in School History A five-player signing class and a talented walk-on who received other NCAA Division I scholarship offers have given Nebraska the best recruiting class in school history - coming in at No. 9 in ESPN’s class rankings on Nov. 21. Each of Nebraska’s scholarship recruits ranked among the top 25 nationally by ESPN at their position. Tennessee Class 2-AA Player of the Year Jasmine Cincore, Kansas Class 4A Player of the Year Kaylee Page, California prep stars Natalie Romeo and Darrien Washington, and Washington High School standout Chandler Smith will join Coach Connie Yori’s Huskers. Emily Wood, a walk-on from Salina, Kan., completed the six-player NU freshman class for 2014-15. Smith, a 6-0 guard from Washington, signed her letter of intent Monday, Nov. 18, after being ranked as the No. 62 player in the nation by ESPN. Her addition propelled the Huskers up seven spots in ESPN’s class rankings for 2014. Page and Romeo headline the Husker class. The 6-2 Page was ranked No. 42 nationally by ESPN, while Romeo was No. 55. Romeo, a 5-7 point guard from the Bay Area, has been ranked as high as the No. 27 player overall nationally by Full Court Press. Romeo’s club teammate, the 6-2 Washington, was ranked as the No. 16 post player in the nation by ESPN, while Cincore was ranked as ESPN’s No. 24 point guard in the 2014 class, despite being projected as a combo guard for the Huskers. “We are excited about the potential of this recruiting class, and we hope all six players have outstanding senior seasons in high school this year,” Yori said. “We have built quite a bit of momentum in recruiting the past few years and this class is part of it.” Nebraska’s previous top recruiting class, which came with current Husker juniors Emily Cady, Hailie Sample, Tear’a Laudermill and Brandi Jeffery, was ranked No. 24 nationally in November of 2010. Nebraska’s six newcomers will be expected to replace the loss of Jordan Hooper, a two-time All-American who is the only senior on the Huskers’ 11-player roster in 2013-14. Page, a 6-2 senior at Wamego High School in Kansas, was ranked as the No. 13 wing/shooting guard nationally by ESPN. She averaged 20.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.3 blocked shots, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game as a junior. A gifted shooter, Page knocked down 57 three-pointers for the Red Raiders in 2012-13. She helped Wamego to the Kansas Class 4A state championship while playing for her father, Jim Page, who was the Kansas Coach of the Year. Romeo, ESPN’s No. 12 point guard nationally as a four-year starter at Carondelet High School in California, averaged 21.4 points, 6.7 assists and 6.3 steals per game as a junior to help the Cougars to the North Coast Section Division II title for the third consecutive season. Along the way, she earned East Bay Athletic League MVP and Nor Cal Prep Player-of-the-Year honors in 2012-13, helping Carondelet to a top 20 national ranking as a team. Romeo has been a starter for one of the premier club programs in the nation, the Cal Stars Elite, since she was an eighth grader. As a member of the Cal Stars program, Romeo has earned all-tournament or MVP honors at 16 national tournaments. Smith’s signing brought even more talent to the Husker 2014 class. Smith plays point guard for her high school and club teams, but was ranked as the No. 18 wing in the country by ESPN. The 6-0 guard from Brewster High School in Washington, averaged 21.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 4.2 steals as a junior to lead the Bears to a Class 1A state championship. She had 26 points and 10 rebounds in the 2013 state title game, after producing 35 points and 12 boards in the 2012 Class 2B championship game. Cincore brings more athleticism and strength to the perimeter for the Huskers. The 5-8 guard will add a gritty defensive presence along with an expanding offensive game to the NU backcourt. As a junior at Briarcrest Christian in 2012-13, Cincore averaged 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals per game while leading her team to the state semifinals. Washington adds size and potential to the Nebraska inside game. The 6-2 Washington plays at Skyline High School in the Bay Area and on the Cal Stars Elite. She is relatively new to basketball, but brings excellent athleticism to the court. Wood, a 5-5 guard from Salina Central High School, turned down scholarship offers from Harvard and Dartmouth and Western Illinois to walk-on at Nebraska. She is a two-time Kansas Class 5A all-state selection and averaged 11.2 points and 2.3 assists per game as a junior. She has hit 132 career three-pointers as a three-year starter at Salina Central.

Huskers Honor All-American Griffin with Jersey Retirement The Nebraska women’s basketball program added another name and number to its wall of honor inside the new Pinnacle Bank Arena - and this one is a legend. Kelsey Griffin, one of the most accomplished Huskers both on and off the court in program history, was honored by Nebraska with the retirement of her No. 23 jersey on Wednesday, Jan. 29, in pregame ceremonies before Huskers defeated Michigan. She joined 1993 Wade Trophy Winner and CoSIDA Academic

All-America Hall of Famer Karen Jennings (No. 51) and 1988 Big Eight Player-of-the-Year Maurtice Ivy (No. 30) among Nebraska’s retired jersey honorees. Griffin made the 28-hour flight from Australia to Lincoln in the middle of her professional season. She watched her first Nebraska game in person since graduating in the spring of 2010. She was joined on the court by family and friends from Australia, Alaska and California. Griffin spoke to the Huskers briefly before the game, then sat on the bench with the team as the Big Red put on their best all-around performance of the season in the win over the Wolverines. Griffin, a first-team All-American on the court and a national player-of-the-year finalist in 2010, became the face of Nebraska women’s basketball for five seasons (2006-10). The lightly recruited 6-2 forward from Eagle River, Alaska, powered Nebraska’s rise to national prominence by earning three first-team All-Big 12 Conference awards. Griffin also led Nebraska to a trio of NCAA Tournament appearances in 2007, 2008 and 2010. Her final season as a Husker, she etched a permanent place in Husker history as part of a six-player senior class that led Nebraska to an unbeaten regular season (29-0), 30 consecutive victories, a Big 12 Conference regular-season title and Nebraska’s first-ever trip to the NCAA Sweet 16. She captured Big 12 Player-of-the-Year honors while leading NU to a 32-2 final record that included a 16-0 Big 12 mark. She ranks No. 4 on Nebraska’s all-time scoring list with 2,033 points, while ranking No. 3 in the Husker record book with 1,019 career rebounds. Griffin and Jennings were the only players in Nebraska history with 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, until All-American Jordan Hooper joined the elite list by the end of the game. Hooper pulled down her 1,000th career rebound with just over four minutes left in the game, then sat next to Griffin on the Husker bench for the remainder of the contest. Griffin also set Nebraska’s career record with 40 double-doubles in her four years on the court in Lincoln. Her 127 career starts rank No. 2 in school history. As a senior, Griffin averaged 20.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, including 20 double-doubles. She also earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Defensive Team by notching 60 steals, 26 blocked shots and took a remarkable 29 charges on the year. Griffin was NU’s first-ever winner of the Senior CLASS Award, recognizing her achievements in the community and the classroom, while honoring her character and success in competition. She was honored as Nebraska’s Female Student-Athlete of the Year in 2009-10, before earning the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft. Griffin earned a spot on the WNBA All-Rookie Team with the Connecticut Sun in 2010. She completed her fourth professional season with the Sun in 2013, starting all 34 games and averaging career bests of 8.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. In her four-year WNBA career, she has played in 133 games with 61 starts for Connecticut. Griffin also has played professionally in Hungary, Israel and most recently for the Bendigo Spirit in Australia’s WNBL. In 2012-13, Griffin led the Spirit to the WNBL title and was named the MVP of the championship series. She has returned to Australia for the 2013-14 campaign, where she is averaging 12.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while playing alongside former Husker teammate and 2012 Olympian Chelsea Aubry.

Hooper Powers Team USA to Gold at World University Games Nebraska’s Jordan Hooper scored nine points and grabbed nine rebounds while making her first international start, powering the USA Basketball Women’s World University Games Team to a 90-71 victory in the gold medal game on July 15. Hooper, a 6-2 senior forward from Alliance, Neb., erupted in her first USA start, pouring in five points, including the game’s first three-pointer, to go along with three early rebounds to fuel the U.S. team’s 13-3 lead to open the game. She also played a major role defensively in helping the United States to its third straight World University Games gold medal. Hooper scored seven first-quarter points to help the USA take a 22-13 lead at the end of the quarter. She played the entire first period and finished with 31 minutes in the game. In the tournament, Hooper finished with 6.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game, giving her per 40-minute averages of 16.6 points and 14.9 boards. Hooper started the second quarter on the bench, and while she was out, the Russian team quickly trimmed the USA margin to 25-21 with 7:46 left in the first half. Hooper immediately returned to the court and helped shut out the Russians for the next three minutes to ignite a 7-0 USA run. Hooper’s offensive rebound and assist to Crystal Bradford (Central Michigan) in the corner for a three-pointer, gave the USA a 38-25 lead with 2:43 left in the half. It was the first of back-to-back threes by Bradford in a 45-second stretch to send the U.S. squad to halftime with a 41-27 lead. With Hooper keying the defense, the USA allowed six points in the final seven-plus minutes of the half. Nebraska’s two-time All-American played every minute of the third quarter. She again keyed a U.S. defense that helped the team build a 68-47 lead at the end of three quarters. Hooper’s final bucket came with 7:30 left in the game, giving the USA a 75-55 lead.

Comeback Over Gophers One of Largest in Husker History Nebraska’s 88-85 comeback win over Minnesota in OT on Jan. 16, came after trailing by 14 points with 13:40 left to tie for the second-largest second-half deficit overcome by a Connie Yori-coached Husker team. In Yori’s first season, the Huskers trailed by five at half, then 19 in the second half but came back to win 62-61 at San Diego on Dec. 28, 2002. In 2007-08, Nebraska trailed by eight at half and 14 in the second half before Kesley Griffin rallied the Huskers for a 73-67 win at Missouri on Feb. 3, 2008. Double-digit comebacks are nothing new to the Huskers under Coach Yori. In fact, the win over Minnesota marked the 16th time in Yori’s 12 seasons at Nebraska that the Huskers have overcome a double-digit deficit to win.

Game Highlights: No. 17 Nebraska used a 17-0 run late in the second half to battle back from a nine-point deficit for a 67-59 victory at Ohio State.

With the victory, Nebraska notched its third consecutive 20-win campaign for the first time in program history. Ohio native Rachel Theriot led the Big Red with 26 points while matching her career high with seven rebounds. She added four assists and closed the game by hitting six straight free throws to seal the win.

Hooper hit three of her three-pointers in the final 10 minutes of the game, including two to help ignite the Huskers after a 16-2 OSU surge that gave the Buckeyes their biggest lead at 50-41. Hooper scored seven points during the decisive run. Tear’a Laudermill added all six of her points in the final five minutes, including the go-ahead three-pointer to put NU up 54-52 with 3:46 left.
