As a husky owner, I know first-hand how tough it can be to get them under control.
From the stubbornness to the attitude, huskies can be frustrating. That wasn’t the case for No. 22 Nebraska women’s basketball Friday night as they had no issue taming the Huskies of Houston Christian 79-48 at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Nebraska raced out to a 9-2 lead before HCU got a pair of free throws and a triple to give the visitor’s a glimmer of hope. That quickly faded as NU proceeded to go on a 16-0 run over the next nine minutes.
The difference never got to single digits again and stretched as far as 34.
Nebraska shot 46 percent from the floor and made 10-of-27 three-pointers. Six Huskers registered made triples.
Allison Weidner scored a game-high 20 points to go with seven rebounds. Jaz Shelley added 11 points, eight assists, five steals, and four rebounds.
After just a two-game homestand to begin the season, Nebraska goes on the road Tuesday to face in-state rival No. 21 Creighton.
