Huskers Continue Home Stand with Spartans
• The Nebraska women’s basketball team continues its three-game home stand by taking on San Jose State on Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
• The Huskers opened their three-game home stand with a 58-52 win over long-time rival Kansas on Wednesday in Lincoln. The Big Red crashed the boards to one of the top-five totals in school history - pulling down 64 rebounds including 24 on the offensive end.
• Sophomore Taylor Kissinger notched her second career double-double with 11 points and a career-high 11 rebounds against Kansas. Freshman Ashtyn Veerbeek added a career-high 11 rebounds of her own, while fellow freshman Kayla Mershon pitched in a career-best seven boards.
• Preseason All-Big Ten guard Hannah Whitish matched Kissinger with a team-high 11 points against Kansas. Whitish has produced double figures in five games for the Big Red, including a season-high 15 points at No. 5 Louisville (Nov. 29).
• Freshman guard Sam Haiby also has produced double figures five times this season, including a career-high 20 points at Washington State. Haiby has put up double digits against nationally ranked teams Miami (14), Drake (13) and Louisville (12) along with 17 points at Creighton. She is averaging a team-best 11.8 points to go along with 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
Scouting the San Jose State Spartans
• The Spartans carry a 1-6 record with them to Pinnacle Bank Arena after taking a 76-64 loss at Colorado on Thursday night in Boulder.
• This week’s trip to Colorado and Nebraska marks the first venture off the West Coast for the Spartans, who notched an 82-72 home win over Cal State Bakersfield on Nov. 24. SJSU opened with losses to San Francisco State and San Francisco, and also took home losses to Pacific and UC Irvine. The Spartans’ only other trip outside of California came in an 80-51 loss at Portland State (Nov. 11).
• Sophomore Cydni Lewis leads the Spartans in scoring and rebounding. The 6-0 forward is averaging 11.1 points and 5.3 rebounds after getting 18 points and five boards at Colorado Thursday. Lewis has shot a team-high 30 free throws in seven games and is 7-for-14 from three-point range, including 4-of-5 in Boulder.
• Fieme’a Hafoka has added 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game, while also hitting 12 threes. Hafoka averaged 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds last season.
• True freshman Raziya Potter is coming into her own early for the Spartans. The 5-10 guard is averaging 10.4 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, after getting 12 points, four rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes at Colorado.
• As a team, San Jose State has averaged 65.6 points, while surrendering 78.7 points per game. The Spartans have been out-muscled on the boards, 47.9-36.7, and also carry a minus-2.1 team turnover margin. SJSU is shooting just 35.3 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from three-point range, but the Spartans have held their opponents to just 26.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
