Nebraska is next to last in the B1G standings, so a Purdue victory was expected in Mackey Thursday night. However, perhaps no one could have predicted just how dominating Purdue would be. The defense was outstanding, holding the Huskers to only 45 points, and leading to many fast break opportunities. So offense often starts with defense. That being said, the offense wasn’t just clicking in transition but overall it was the best offensive performance of the season.
Ashley Morrissette continued her awesome streak another game, finishing with 21 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, and 6 steals. She is turning in a great senior season for this team, and in fact is the key player on the team.
