I thought this might be a low-scoring defensive game. I was wrong.
The Creighton Bluejays came to Lincoln on a mission and left with a five point win behind 14 made three-pointers. Nebraska outscored Creighton 46-10 in the paint. The Huskers out-shot the Jays, hitting 44.1 percent (30-68), but went just 3-for-16 from three-point range. CU (.368) hit just seven two-point baskets (7-25) but went 14-of-32 (.438) from three-point range. The Jays also connected on 23-of-29 free throws, compared to 11-for-18 shooting at the stripe for Nebraska.
Kate Cain led three Huskers in double figures with 18 points, seven rebounds and three blocks, while Sam Haiby added 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
