[Husker] Husker Women's basketball

[Tony lambert]

 Steve, If I might add that This comes after Mizzou had scored 33 and 39 pts 
in their last two games. Mizzou hit on 40% of their 3pt attempts while only 
being a .297 shooting team for the season. So from here on out the games 
will be tough, with the teams trying to place Nebraska in the defeated 
column
