Women's basketball: Huskers rally from 21 points down, tip Creighton

Connie 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.
