Tipoff: 6:30 p.m.
Location: Williams Arena, Minneapolis
Television: Big Ten Network (PBP Kevin Kugler, analyst Debbie Antonelli)
Radio: Husker Sports Network (Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch)
Live Stats and Internet Radio: huskers.com
Tonight, the Husker women (19-4, 8-3) face Minnesota (12-14, 4-8) in Minneapolis. Nebraska holds a 6-5 edge in meetings between the teams, but they've never defeated the Gophers at Williams Arena.
Minnesota will be trying to snap a three-game losing streak. They're tough at home, beating top-ten Ohio State 76-65, and losing to a ranked Penn State team by just three. Minnesota gets balanced scoring from Rachel Banham (15.9 ppg), Kiara Buford (13.6), and 6-4 Jr.
Katie Loberg (10.0). The team is one of the conference's better three-point shooting teams, hitting 44% at home, and they convert 79% of their free throws.
Nebraska is coming off an ugly loss to Michigan Thursday night, shooting a season-low 25.8% from the field. Connie Yori's young team showed a lot of pluck, though, coming back from 27-down to lose by 11. When the Huskers and Gophers met in January, NU won 64-49.
With a win tonight, Nebraska will get it's 13th 20-win season in school history, and the fourth 20-win season in the last 6 years. In the
conference standings, NU is tied for third, and Minnesota is tied for eighth.
Now, on to the game...and to hell with the imagined CN gamethread jinx. It does not exist!
Nebraska (19-4, 8-3) starters:
3 Hailie Sample 6-1-Fr - 3.0 ppg
23 Emily Cady 6-2 Fr - 9.9
35 Jordan Hooper 6-2 So - 19.7
00 Lindsay Moore 5-9 Jr - 16.7
5 Kaitlyn Burke 5-7 Sr - 5.0
Minnesota (12-14, 4-8) starters:
5 Kiona Kellogg 6-1 So - 5.5 ppg
25 Katie Loberg 6-4 Jr - 10.0
1 Rachel Banham 5-9 Fr - 15.9
11 Leah Cotton 5-8 Jr - 6.5
30 Kiara Buford 5-11 Sr - 13.6

Hi everyone, new commenter (well, on here anyways)
And as soon as I flip the TV back to the game Huskers tie it :) haha just decided I’m tired of being called a traitor in my house so thought I’d come here and talk to other Huskers fans if that’s alright with you guys :)

thanks!
And I’ve been trying to follow along on here and BTN2go (while doing homework which was kind of hard), finally worked up the nerve to comment once I actually got the TV change to the game so I actually know what is exactly going on. Sounds like I’ve missed a pretty great game so far

haha he says its justified because I'm rooting against my home state.
He doesn’t even like sports (much less women’s sports) so I don’t get why he cares, but we always bet when other colleges I like more than the Gophers are playing them. I usually win…

Are you a Husker fan?

Husker, I've wanted to go there for almost 3 years,
but if I’m watching a Gophers game it’s rare that I am rooting for them. Nebraska and Baylor are my 2 favorite colleges

I think we need to burn down CN.
There’s a lot of bad juju around here. I blame Michigan.

I was the first to recommend it
last thursday, then I saw that you seconded the notion. Are two votes enough to light the match?!

I would think almost four months of bad luck would be enough to warrant a flamethrower.

What I'm more afraid of is this:
We play Northwestern next, and they’re near the cellar, so we should beat them at home, and we sorely need that win.
I refuse to ruin their chances. NO MORE gamethreads until I’m sure the jinx is gone.
