Husker Women’s Basketball Advances to Big Ten Tournament Semifinals

Cain approaches 100 blocks on the season as Nebraska avenges a mid-season loss

The Nebraska women’s basketball team picked up their 21st win of the season. More importantly, they picked up a win over a ranked opponent in an effort to polish their NCAA tournament resume. The #24 Wolverines were held to 54 points, 20+ below their season average of 76 points.

Nebraska’s defense was on-point most of the night. They were aided by the fact that one of Michigan’s star players, Halley Thome, was hampered by a knee injury. Thome still managed 21 points and played 35 of 40 possible minutes, so….

Kate Cain, 6’5” freshman center, put up six points, seven rebounds, and turned the ball over five times. She also recorded SEVEN blocks, worthy of her status on the All-defense team for the Big Ten. She fouled out with a few minutes to go, but Cain was a force on the court in ways that belied her stats. Any Wolverine guard that attempted to drive the lane found themselves eating leather. Some of the post players did too.
