You may be wondering - why a game thread for women's basketball?
First, because they're good. Second, because after watching last night's men's game, I've decided that we need something positive going on here on CN and what better way to do that than support a winner.
Most (okay, pretty much all) the information here came from CN community member redvalley, so please support her, thank her, and we'll continue to do these as the season goes on.
Here's the normal starting line-ups:
Nebraska's Starters:
3 - Hailie Sample 6-1-Fr-F 3.0 ppg, 3.7 rpg
23 - Emily Cady 6-2-Fr-F 10.0 ppg, 6.2 rpg
35 - Jordan Hooper 6-2-So-F 20.0 ppg, 9.4 rpg
00 - Lindsey Moore 5-9-Jr-G 16.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg
5 - Kaitlyn Burke 5-7-Sr-G 5.2 ppg, 2.8 rpg
Michigan's Starters:
21 - Nya Jordan 6-0-Jr-F 3.6 ppg, 3.1 rpg
33 - Carmen Reynolds 6-0-Sr-F/G 7.5 ppg, 2.9 rpg
44 - Rachel Sheffer 6-1-Jr-C/F 13.3 ppg, 4.3 rpg
2 - Courtney Boylan 5-8-Sr-G 13.0 ppg, 4.1 rpg
24 - Jenny Ryan 5-9-Jr-G 7.3 ppg, 6.0 rpg
In the Big Ten conference race, Purdue (9-2) has a half-game lead on Nebraska and Ohio State, both 8-2. Last week, the Huskers knocked off Purdue in triple overtime in West Lafayette.
Nebraska is led by sophomore Jordan Hooper (20 ppg) and junior Lindsey Moore (16 ppg). Hooper is second in B1G scoring, leads the conference in rebounds, and has a conference-leading 10 double-doubles. Hooper needs just 10 points against Michigan to become the first sophomore in school history to score 1,000 points in her career.
Lindsey Moore reached the career 1,000 point mark last week against Purdue.
One Husker who has really upped her game since conference play began is freshman Emily Cady. She averages 10 ppg for the season, but in
B1G play she's averaging 13.4 points and 6.2 rebounds.

Yes...Women's Basketball!
Just heard that Michigan is 2nd in the B1G in scoring defense, so we’ll see if they have any success shutting down Hooper, Moore and Cady.

redvalley - February 9, 2012
One of Yori's teams

redvalley - February 9, 2012
Now 39-12
Can this get any uglier.
redvalley - February 9, 2012
Uh oh..
I think we jinxed the team by giving them their own game thread..
Or the men’s team is dressed in drag tonight.

redvalley - February 9, 2012

Jon Johnston - February 9, 2012
Yes.
redvalley - February 9, 2012
Wow

They are a good young team, and it’s cool that they fought back after such a horrible start.

26 seconds left.
redvalley - February 9, 2012
And that's a final.
This was a character building game for a team that regularly plays six freshmen. They didn’t roll over and die. Proud of the ladies on a very poor shooting night.
redvalley - February 9, 2012
okay
so……
we have game threads from now on? or not?
Jon Johnston - February 9, 2012
Absolutely!!!!
sd.husker - February 9, 2012
Yes, should have said that!
sd.husker - February 9, 2012
I vote yes
I wasn’t here for most of the game tonight, but I usually follow the women’s games…it’s fun to follow them…probably mostly because they are good. I guess I’m just another bandwagon fan when it comes to basketball :)
Billgrip - February 9, 2012
I'm almost afraid to. LOL!
Plus, we didn’t attract many people. It was fun for one night.
redvalley - February 9, 2012
we haven't done them.
and we haven’t covered women’s basketball.
it’s not like football, that’s for sure, but I think people need something to cheer for.
and if you build it, they will come. they always start slow until people get accustomed to you doing it.
Jon Johnston - February 9, 2012
What he said^^^^^^^^
sd.husker - February 9, 2012
But, but, but...
what if this thread caused the loss? : d
redvalley - February 9, 2012
BAH!!!
Jon Johnston - February 9, 2012
You're right, that's horseshit!
redvalley - February 9, 2012
Then we burn down CN and build a new one!
Salt Creek and Stadium - February 9, 2012
We will build it
bigger, faster, stronger than before. From the ashes of the angry fire that is Bo Pelini’s temper, we bring you…
Corn Nation 2.0
AdamTheTitan - February 9, 2012
Truth.
Salt Creek and Stadium - February 10, 2012
Well, I'm out for the night.
Need to attned to my sick Hubby. I think he caught whatever you had, SD.
Let me know, Jon, if you want to do more threads, and Ill do the research. And thanks for doing this one.
redvalley - February 9, 2012

Jon Johnston - February 9, 2012

sd.husker - February 9, 2012
