Nebraska WBB Notches Big Win Over Ranked Michigan State

The Huskers built a big cushion and managed to hang on for an 82-71 win despite a fourth quarter rally by the Spartans

Is there any Big Ten team, in any sport, that hates seeing the Huskers on the schedule more than a ranked Michigan State squad?

The Huskers forced turnover after turnover and played offense with a free and easy style not seen since their first Purdue game. They led from start to finish to improve to 7-8 in the Big Ten and 12-14 overall, while knocking the No. 24 Spartans to 7-7 in the conference and 17-8 on the season. The 82-71 win moved the Huskers from one of the bottom four seeds in the conference (having to play on the first day of the Big Ten tournament) up to 10th place and within one game of fifth place – with three games left to play (@Northwestern, vs.Iowa, @Penn State).

Five Huskers scored in double figures: Hannah Whitish (16), Leigha Brown (14), Taylor Kissinger (12), Maddie Simon (10), and Nicea Eliely (10).
