Northwestern women's basketball was ranked 14th in the country Sunday, had a 9-3 Nebraska team with two of the best players in the conference in the building, and they pounded them into the hardwood for 40 minutes.
Northwestern's four best players slapped down 81 points, shot 12-24 from three, and combined to tally 15 steals. The Wildcats scored 28 fast break points. The Cornhuskers led for 61 seconds. Northwestern won the first quarter (yes, women's basketball has quarters now) 28-12.
It was a thorough dismantling of an actually good team, or, in other words, the best game any Northwestern basketball team has played this year.
