Defensive breakdowns doom Husker women in historic loss
Carlos Gonzalez/Star Tribune (via AP)The Nebraska women’s basketball team led Minnesota by one point after the first quarter Thursday, which makes the final result even more surprising.
After that the Gophers made shot after shot after shot and crushed the Huskers 110-73 in Minneapolis. That tied for the most points scored against the Huskers in program history.
Nebraska led 28-27 after the first quarter, but the Gophers outscored NU 83-45 over the final three quarters.
Nebraska coach Connie Yori said the Huskers had defensive breakdowns that couldn’t happen when playing against the team that is sixth nationally in scoring offense (82.0 points per game).
