- Senior guard Hannah Whitish added another mark to her spot in Husker history in Nebraska's 83-79 win over Duke in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Dec. 4. Whitish dished out three assists on Nebraska's first three baskets of the night to reach 400 career assists. Whitish finished with 10 points and a season-high six assists in the win over the Blue Devils, scoring Nebraska's final four points at the free throw line to seal the win.
- Junior Taylor Kissinger led Nebraska with a season-high 19 points and a career-high-tying six three-pointers in the win over Duke. She also tied a career high with four assists. Kissinger is averaging 15.0 points the last two games, after overcoming a concussion suffered early in non-conference play.
- Junior Kate Cain added 12 points, five rebounds and five blocks in the win over Duke.
- Sophomore Ashtyn Veerbeek played an impressive all-around game in the win over Duke with a season-high 14 points on a perfect shooting night that included a career-high-tying three threes. Veerbeek (9.6 ppg) is part of a trio of sophomores leading Nebraska in scoring, including Leigha Brown (13.6 ppg) and Sam Haiby (9.8 ppg).
- The Golden Eagles own early season wins over Wichita State (79-66), Sam Houston State, Texas State and Central Christian.
- ORU is 0-5 on the road this season with losses at Arkansas, Kansas State, Tulsa and Southern Utah, joining the setback to the Utes.
- Junior Keni Jo Lippe provides ORU with an explosive presence in the backcourt. The 5-9 guard from Adair, Okla., is averaging 18.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.3 steals. Lippe lives at the free throw line, averaging 7.8 free throw attempts per contest.
- Lippe is joined in the backcourt by fifth-year senior Rylie Torrey who is averaging 2.9 made threes per game (29-66, .439) while averaging 14.4 points per game. She erupted for a career-high 25 points while going 5-for-9 from three-point range in the loss at Utah. It was her third 20-point effort of the season and the second time she had hit five or more threes in a game, joining her season-high six in the win over Wichita State.
- As a team, ORU is averaging 70.7 points per game but shooting just 37.2 percent from the field.
