Huskers Fall in Final Minute at Arkansas
http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=211784181
Fayetteville, Ark. - Nebraska erased a nine-point deficit with 4:32 remaining to take an 80-79 lead with 1:04 left in the game, but Arkansas made enough plays in the closing minute to hold on for 84-80 women's basketball win over the Huskers at Bud Walton Arena on Tuesday night.


Trailing 77-68 with 4:32 left, Nebraska erupted on a 12-2 surge with seven points from freshman Sam Haiby during a 1:43 span. Her final point of her team-high 16 came on the first of two free throws to put the Big Red up 80-79 win 1:04 left.

But before the second free throw, the scoreboard inside the arena reset, putting the score to 1-0 Nebraska with 10:00 on the clock, while resetting all the team fouls and the timeouts for both teams. The scoreboard malfunction put more than two minutes between Haiby's first and second free throw. Haiby missed the second shot.

Twenty seconds later, Chelsea Dungee scored to put Arkansas back up 81-80. She added a free throw with 25 seconds left to extend the Arkansas margin to 82-80. Dungee scored 20 of her game-high 23 points in the second half to lead a group of five Arkansas starters that finished in double figures and scored all 53 points for the Razorbacks in the final 20 minutes.

Trailing by two, Nebraska got a good look at the rim from Haiby, but the challenged shot fell off the rim. The Huskers fouled and Kiara Williams, who finished with 10 points and nine rebounds made both free throws to close the scoring.

Husker Ladies (5-5) (0-0)

• Arkansas carries an 8-3 record into Tuesday night’s game against Nebraska after running to a 71-44 win over Prairie View A&M at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville on Sunday afternoon.

I do like their stat box. I think it's really sharp. It's very well done.

The Ladies came up a little short against Arkansas last night but, they played a scrappy, hard fought game. :Rockon: :Corn2:

Keep playing like last night and good things will happen Ladies. :Hooray: :Mfclap:
 



A tough Loss. Uneven officiating and the unfortunate malfunction of the scoreboard at a critical point may have been the difference; But this game reminds me of the Drake game. When shots are falling we can put up big points in a Hurry; But when they aren't, our inexperience shows.

Last season I think everyone will agree we overachieved B1G Time; so far this season we seem to be underachieving, particularly in relation to the level of talent on the team. But one thing has Not changed that will stand us in good stead while we go into our Conference Schedule - that is the GRIT; No QUIT of our Husker Ladies!

Merry Christmas everyone! :Santa:
