Nebraska women's basketball logo 2014Connie Yori preaches "Don't give up."
Her Nebraska women's basketball team took that to heart Sunday, rallying from two 21-point deficits to defeat Creighton 65-63 at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
It was NU's biggest comeback in Yori's 14 seasons as Husker coach.
The Bluejays hit eight of their first nine three-point attempts and led 33-16 after the first quarter.
But the Huskers made a defensive switch and held Creighton to just 30 more points in the next three quarters.
Rachel Theriot hit a three-pointer with 1:35 to play to give NU a 64-62 lead, its first since 3-2.
