Nebraska's Sam Haiby was the named the College Sports Madness Big Ten Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week after leading the Huskers to a pair of upset wins over No. 15 Northwestern and Rutgers last week.
Haiby, a 5-9 junior guard from Moorhead, Minn., took the national spotlight with her highlight-reel, circus shot as time expired to lift Nebraska to a 65-63 win over No. 15 Northwestern at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln on Dec. 31. Haiby's put-back of her own missed shot not only gave the Big Red the victory, it was also named ESPN Sport Center's Top Play on New Year's Eve.
