Nebraska WBB Wins Regular Season Finale 79-74

This might sound familiar but the Huskers hung on despite a Nittany Lion rally in the second half

The Nebraska women evened up their conference record to 9-9 and pulled their overall record within one game of .500 at 14-15 with a 79-74 win vs Penn State yesterday. Right now, that terrible loss to Wisconsin (on a buzzer-beater three pointer) looms extra large in Nebraska’s postseason chances and conference standings. The Huskers are likely to be either the 6th or 7th seed in the tournament.

Sam Haiby scored 12 of her team-high 16 points in the fourth quarter, including a 10-for-10 effort at the free throw line to seal Nebraska’s win. Penn State slipped to 5-13 in the conference and 12-17 overall.

Nebraska built a 14-point lead at 50-36 early in the third quarter before Penn State rallied to tie the game at 57 just one minute into the fourth.
