Scouting Northwestern
Arguably the Big Ten’s most experienced team, Northwestern comes to Lincoln with an 11-2 non-conference record to its credit to open conference play against the Huskers. The Wildcats feature a trio of four-year senior starters in All-Big Ten-caliber performers Nia Coffey, Ashley Deary and Christen Inman.
As a team, Northwestern is averaging 73.5 points while holding the opposition to 60.6 points per game. The Wildcats are plus-3.4 on the glass (40.8-37.4) and carry a plus-3.3 team turnover margin.
Northwestern is shooting a solid 44.4 percent as a team from the field, including 33.5 percent from three-point range. The Cats also have been solid at the free throw line, hitting 71.5 percent of their attempts. Coffey and Deary have combined to hit 101 of Northwestern’s 181 made free throws this season. Nebraska has hit 110 as a team.
Nebraska closed its toughest non-conference schedule in school history with a 4-8 record and the No. 12 strength of schedule in the nation. The Huskers’ schedule strength was the second strongest in the Big Ten this season.
Preseason first-team All-Big Ten selection Jessica Shepard has led the Huskers by averaging 18.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. The 2016 Big Ten Freshman of the Year owns six double-doubles this season.
Along with the play of the sophomore Shepard, the Huskers have been bolstered by the performance of freshman Nicea Eliely. The 6-1 guard has started all 12 games while averaging 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Eliely leads the Huskers in steals, field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage, while ranking second on the team in scoring and assists.
