Thousands of Iowa fans went home doubly disappointed. They didn’t get to see the career scoring record broken and they watched the Huskers beat the Hawkeyes.
Thanks for spending your money in Lincoln.
Playing in front of a school-record, sellout crowd of 15,042 at Pinnacle Bank Arena, the Huskers trailed 69-55 at the end of three quarters before Shelley, Logan Nissley, Natalie Potts and Kendall Moriarty combined for all of Nebraska’s 27 fourth-quarter points to rally Nebraska to its fourth victory over a top-five opponent in school history.
Moriarty scored the first two of the fourth quarter for the Huskers before Potts, who finished with 14 points and six rebounds, scored six straight for the Huskers to trim the Iowa lead from 14 to eight at 71-63 with 6:11 left.
