Every Hoopster Was Hitting

The Connie Clan, the Women’s basketball team, added another notch to their winning ways by downing Vermont Catamounts. It was 37 to 24 at the end of the first half, but from there on, it wasn’t much of a match up as the Huskers outscored the Vermonters 57-17 in the second half to post a 94-41 win.

Sophomore Jordan Hooper notched her fourth double-double of the season with 21 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, while true Freshman Emily Cady added a career-best 18 points and 6 rebounds to power the Nebraska women’s basketball team to an 94-41 win over Vermont Sunday afternoon at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

For the scoring punch, Junior Lindsey Moore add 14 points, Senior Kaitlyn Burke tossed in 11 and Redshirt Frosh Rebecca Woodberry added a career high 13 points and 7 rebounds.

Hooper, who was last weeks Big Ten Player of the Week, went on a playing surge in the second half. The Nebraska native from Alliance scored 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds in just eight second half minutes before setting the bench as all team members garnered lots of playing time.

The Huskers close out non-conference play on Wednesday, when they play host to South Dakota State at the Devaney Center. Starting conference play first up is the 8-2 Penn State bunch on December 30^th at Happy Hallow.

In national rankings, the Huskers find themselves in 25^th along with three other B1G teams. They are Ohio State (8-0) at 12^th, Penn State (8-2) at 16^th and Perdue (9-1) at 22. I would say we fit in very well in this sport.

Go Husker Gals Go!

In Men’s Basketball it is a little tougher. Five B1G teams are ranked in the top 25. OSU (8-1) is #2 and Wisconsin (8-2) is 14^th. Following are Indiana (9-0) at 18^th, Illinois (10-0) in 19^th and Michigan (7-2) in 20^th.

Senior Toney McCray had a pretty hot night against the Alcorn State team. Toney hit 9 of 11 shots to score 20 points and then added 7 rebounds to lead the Huskers to a 60-46 win.

It was a tight first half with the host team leading 23-21 at half time. The guests continued to hang tight and trailed 50-39 with just under 9 minutes to play. The strong defensive pressure of the Huskers kicked in and with Brandon Ubel, McCray and Caleb Walker combining for 11 points Nebraska roared to a 14 point lead in the next four minutes and holding the Braves scoreless.

Coach Sadler is a little concerned about the slow start of the offense. “Well that’s two games in a row where I thought we started the basketball game very timidly offensively and defensively. You can say whatever the reasons, but it doesn’t really matter. We’ve got to get it corrected because we aren’t going to be able to come out and play 20 minutes of basketball (like that) once we get into league play and be successful.

If you have watched any of the Big Ten games on the BTN broadcasts, you will understand what Sadler is referring to. League play is far from being tentative. It is all out fast and a very physical style of play.

Nebraska has one more non conference game against Central Michigan on 12-20. The game will be on BTN at 6 PM our time. Conference play starts on the 27^th against Wisconsin, probably the second best team in the conference. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.

Redshirt freshman Robert Kokesh became the first Nebraska wrestler to earn Big Ten Wrestler-of-the-Week honors this season, when the conference announced the award on Tuesday. Kokesh was rewarded for efforts in Nebraska’s 19-15 upset of No. 14 Wyoming at the NU Coliseum. With the Huskers leading by only four points over the Cowboys with three matches remaining, No. 10 Kokesh extended NU’s lead with a dominant 5-0 victory over No.3 Shane Onufer at 165 pounds.

A streak of five major decision victories and nine total dual wins propelled the No. 16 Nebraska wrestling team to a 37-3 win over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits Saturday night in Brookings, S.D.

The Huskers improved to 6-0 in dual competition and have now won all five road duals they have competed in this season. SDSU dropped to 3-3.

True freshman James Green (157) kicked off NU’s streak of major decision victories with his 15-4 win to extend Nebraska’s lead to 16-3. The Willingboro, N.J., native tallied nine third-period points to put away the Jacks’ leading wrestler.

Nebraska’s wrestling team completed a weekend sweep of two duals on Sunday when it took down the North Dakota State Bison, 31-6, at the Bison Sports Arena in Fargo, N.D.

The Huskers remained perfect in dual competition this season improving to 7-0, with six of those wins coming on the road. The loss dropped North Dakota State’s record to 1-2. In their two duals this weekend, the Huskers recorded eight major decisions and one technical fall, while outscoring their two opponents by a combined score of 68-9.

Following a loss by Shawn Nagel (NU) at 125 pounds, Nebraska won the last nine matches to put away the Bison. No. 17 Ridge Kiley (133) got the streak started with his second major decision victory of the season after he won his match 10-2.

The Huskers return to action on Thursday, Dec. 29, when they travel to Tempe, Ariz., for a pair of matches against Boise State and Arizona State. Check back to Huskers.com for more coverage of the Nebraska wrestling team. If you’re a wrestling fan, you might want to drive up there for these matches. Action starts against Boise State at 1:00 PM and the at 5:00 it’s the Sun Devils on the mat.

A Merry Christmas to all of you great Husker fans.

When football dies down…

…you would be surprised at all the other sports that kick in and take off. But first lets brush up on the gridiron.

Carl Pelini is no longer with the Huskers. The 46 year old has landed a head coach starting position with the Florida Atlantic Owls of the Sun Belt Conference, who have just finished a 1-11 season. You can bet Carl will have a lot of work on his hands to fashion a good team. This is a rich recruiting area. Like Nebraska AD Tom Osborne says, “Carl is a good intelligent football coach and can greatly help this program.”

Brother Carl will be back in Lincoln in1214. Brother Bo has scheduled the Owls for a meeting in Lincoln. That should be interesting, Brother against Brother.

The All-America accolades continued to roll in for senior linebacker Lavonte David on Thursday, as he was named to the Walter Camp All-America second team. Earlier in the week, David was named a first-team All-American by the AFCA on Monday, and he was selected as a first-team All-American by CBSSports.com for the second straight season on Wednesday.

Senior safety Austin Cassidy, junior running back Rex Burkhead and junior linebacker Sean Fisher were named to the Capital One Academic All-America Division I football team on Thursday, as chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Cassidy was a first-team selection for the second consecutive year, and was joined on the first team by Burkhead, while Fisher earned second-team honors. Nebraska was one of three schools with two players named first-team Capital One Academic All-America team, including Army and Montana. With its three overall selections, Nebraska was the only school with three players on the first- and second-team lists.

Looking forward to the Capital One Bowl game against South Carolina. Connor Shaw is a good young QB, but still inexperienced and green.

South Carolina gets scary on defense: #4 total, #2 passing, #45 rushing, #13 scoring. Defensive Ends are beasts. Senior Melvin Ingram and Super Frosh Jadeveon Clowney. Clowney is a fighter of the highest order. They have lockdown corners who will have zero respect for either our receivers or TM’s arm. We’ll need to bring the A game.

They’ve only faced a few physical rushing offenses and Auburn rang them up for nearly 300 yards. Ditto for Navy. Hopefully the NU defense can keep the SC ground attack limited and allow the secondary to blanket WR Alshon Jeffrey.

On to other items.

Wrestling hits the mats.

As a member of the B1G the sort of wrestling will be a big item. Our neighbors to the east are the proverbial B1G and NCAA champions and we have tangled with them frequently in the years past. But the rest of the conference is also adapt at pinning you to the mats.

Looking ahead the Husker coaches have announced the signings of four high school seniors and one junior college athlete who plan to enroll and compete at Nebraska beginning with the 2012-13 season.

This year’s class includes four wrestlers that have won state championships, and one wrestler that qualified for the NCAA tournament as a true freshman in 2010-11. The signees also include Howells, Neb., native and three-time Nebraska state champion Eric Coufal. Two of the recruits are ranked inside the top 85 nationally, according to InterMat.

Eric Cougal of Howells will begin his senior high school year with hopes of becoming only the state’s 17^th four-time champion. He finished his junior year with a 49-0 record.

Next it Frank Cagnina, a transfer from Iowa Central Community College. He comes with a wealth of experience as he qualified for the NCAA tournament at 133 pounds last year. He finished his season with a 20-6 record. In his new Jersey high school career he finished with a 62-4 record and went 82-0 his last two years.

Ben Morgan qualified for Minnesota Class AA championship as an eighth grader. He had 196 career victories during his five year career. Morgan is the son of 1996 Olympic wrestler Gordy Morgan.

Tim Lambert is another B1G area matsman from Michigan and was in the top five at the Michigan state wrestling tournament for three consecutive seasons. Lambert owns the Michigan state high school record for most three-point near falls in a season with 125 in 2010-11, breaking his own record of 109 which he did in 2009-10. Lambert has a 178-5 overall record entering his senior season.

Mcoy Newberg is the first recruit to join the Husker program from the state of Tennessee since Matt Keller in 2002-03, Newberg is a two-time state placer at the DI Tennessee state wrestling championships, including a first-place finish his junior season at 160 pounds. Newberg finished his junior year with a 51-2 record and won the Most Outstanding Wrestler award in his division for his efforts on the mat.

So far this season the Huskers have pinned Bucknell (28-9), Kent State (19-17), North Carolina (20-16) and Navy (27-6). At the 30^th Annual Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas they did very well as reported in the last Huddle.

In returning to duel competition, the Huskers went up against another school known from its wrestling skills, # 14 ranked Wyoming Cowboys.. The final pin count was Huskers 19 and Cowboys 15. The win marks the first time the Huskers have started 5-0 in dual competition since 2008, and was the Huskers second victory over a nationally ranked opponent this season. Wyoming fell to 0-1 on the season.

No. 10 Robert Kokesh (165) provided the match of the night with his 5-0 decision over No. 3 Shane Onufer  and earned a takedown at the end of the first period to gain momentum and never looked back cruising to the victory. The Wagner, S.D., native avenged an earlier loss to Onufer at the UNK Open on Nov. 19.

After two straight victories at 125 and 133 pounds for the Cowboys, the Huskers found themselves down by a score of 9-3. True freshman Jake Sueflohn won the first home match of his career to start the Husker comeback with an 11-2 major decision before redshirt freshman Brandon WIlbourn (149) won 11-5, to give the Huskers the lead for good. Wyoming was able to win the last two matches of the night, but couldn’t overcome the 10-point lead NU had accumulated.

Basketball Game Busters.

Returning from Wake Forest with a tough loss in the B1G/Challenge, Docs boys came together and imported two good wins.

Dylan Talley’s jumper with 10.4 seconds remaining lifted Nebraska to a 51-50 win over Florida Gulf Coast at the Devaney Center. Trailing 50-49 with 30 seconds left, the Huskers called timeout to set up the final play, as Bo Spencer dribbled into the lane and found Talley on the wing. The junior, who finished with a team-high 14 points including four 3-pointers, took one dribble and hit a medium range jumper to give the Huskers the lead.

Florida Gulf Coast got the ball to mid-court with 7.1 seconds before calling timeout to set up its final play. The Eagles tried to get the ball inside, but Brandon Richardson’s defense the play well, forcing FGC to take the final shot from beyond the arc.

Behind a game-high 22 points from Bo Spencer, Nebraska rallied from a 10-point first half deficit to post a 69-57 win at TCU . The Huskers (6-3) trailed 37-27 in the waning seconds of the first half before Spencer drained a 65-footer to beat the halftime buzzer, give the Huskers the jolt of energy they needed to put together their best half of the season.

Nebraska out-scored TCU, 39-20 after the break in shooting 56 percent in the second half while holding TCU to just 24 percent in the final 20 minutes to pick up its second road conference win of the season. Spencer hit 7-of-12 shots from the field including four 3-pointers en route to his fourth 20-point effort of the season.

Husker Ladies Are Tough To Figure.

When they played Georgia, they had a lot of trouble getting the ball through the mesh, but then they went to Northern Arizona and had their shooting shoes searing the mesh for a two over time 97-88 win.

Sophomore Jordan Hooper led the Huskers with 32 points, eight rebounds and four steals, while junior point guard Lindsey Moore added 31 points, nine assists, six rebounds and three steals against the Lumberjacks. Earlier in the week, Hooper and Moore powered the Huskers past Creighton, 66-55, at the Devaney Center.

And to top all other things, today the new rankings came out for women’s basketball and as you scan down the list and finally hit #25, there you will find the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

As I have pointed out before, this is a team with lots of true frosh, red shirt frosh and sophomores. A team lacking in experience, but a team that is so rich in determination, fire in their bellies and afraid of no one. Thanks Coach Yori for giving us this wonderful bunch of players.

This year’s Husker team carries just one active senior Kaitlyn Burke, and one junior Lindsey Moore in the starting five. Jordan Hooper and true freshmen Emily Cady and Hailie Sample round out NU’s starters. Four other freshmen Brandi Jeffery, Tear’a Laudermill, Rebecca Woodberry and Katie Simon have been major contributors to Nebraska’s success, along with sophomore Adrianna Maurer and junior Meghin Williams.

Looking forward to the Huskers to enter B1G competition on December 30 when they take on Penn State (8-2) and ranked #16. Currently Ohio State (8-0) is ranked 12^th and Purdue (7-3) is 22^nd. Right now they have two more non-con games.

Against Northern Arizona the Huskers had a 33-28 lead at half time but the Lumberjacks came roaring back to tie the game at 70 all. Thanks to Hooper and Moore, who both scored 25 points each in the second half and in overtime.

“Both teams made a ton of big shots in the second half,” Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. “Lindsey and Jordan made play after play after play late in the second half and in the overtimes. We needed every one of them to win. We had to be mentally tough to win that game, and we were. I’m not surprised at all by the outcome of that game. I thought it would be close and come right down to the wire. I don’t know if I expected it to go overtime, but I’m glad we won.”

For Hoopers efforts at Flagstaff, following her Creighton game, Jordan was named Big Ten Player of the Week. For the week, Hooper averaged 27.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game. She also ranks 2^nd in the B1G in both scoring and rebounding through 10 games, averaging 19.4 points and 8.3 rebounds.

Husker Divers Shine at Iowa Invitational.

Payton Michaud and Amy Herman led the way for the Nebraska diving team at the Iowa Invitational in Iowa City, Iowa. The three-day event concluded with six top-eight finishes for the Huskers.

Michaud led the way for NU, finishing fourth in both the one-meter and three-meter dives. Michaud’s performance in the three-meter was a career best at 306.05. Her previous best (284.63) was set earlier this season in a dual against UNO. Herman also dove her way to a career-best in the platform dive. Herman finished second in the event with a score of 264.85.

Alyson Ramsey and Kailey Harmon finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the platform event. Kaitlan Walker earned a sixth-place finish in the three-meter at 282.50.

Huskers Bowlers Klick at the Track Kat Klash.

The Nebraska bowling team finished fourth at the inaugural Track Kat Klash, hosted by Sam Houston State. NU’s Kayla Johnson rolled her way to a 235.2 average over a five-game span to finish second individually and earn a spot on the all-tournament team.

Yan Ling finished 10th in the individual standings with a 1,049 pinfall over five games for a 209.8 average. The team’s total pinfall of 8,995 over 10 games was 315 behind tournament winner Arkansas State. Vanderbilt finished third and Sam Houston State finished as the tournament runner-up.

Mother Told Me,

There Would Be Times Like This.

In the arena of Husker Sports there was good times and there was bad times. But that’s the way sports should be. It would be kind of boring otherwise. So lets get the bad news out of the way first.

Volleyball And A Heart Breaking Loss.

Nebraska again was hosting the 1^st and 2^nd rounds of the NCAA Tournament and the first round the Huskers walked all over Jackson State 25-10, 25-16 and 25-13 with Gina Mancuso and Brooke Delano pacing a balanced Nebraska attack with 10 kills each, combining for 20 kills on only 36 swings. Morgan Broekhuis added nine kills on 13 error-free swings, while Hannah Werth recorded seven kills and 11 digs. Nebraska hit .438 in the match, hitting .500 or better in sets one and three.

With the win Coach Cooks team advanced to the second round against a team they have played many a time, the Kansas State Wildcats. And yes, the match did turn into a wild one. The unseeded Wildcats upset the second seeded Huskers 3-2 in front of 4,161 fans.

Kansas State (22-10) handed Nebraska its first postseason home loss since 2002 and only its third ever with a 25-22, 22-25, 31-29, 22-25, 15-11 victory. With the win, the Wildcats punched their ticket to the Honolulu Regional, advancing to an NCAA Regional for the third time in school history and for the first time since 2003. For the Big Ten champion Huskers, their season ended short of a regional berth for the first time since 1993. Nebraska, which ended its season with a 25-5 record, had advanced to an NCAA Regional in each of the last 17 seasons, the longest active streak in the nation, nine longer than any other school.

In the first set KSU took an early 11-8 lead and Huskers could never catch up or tie the score. Three points was the most spread at any time but not helping the situation was 5 service errors by the Huskers.

The second set started off as a repeat of the first with the Cats increasing their lead until it was 18-15 before the Huskers came to life. The Big Red took the lead for the first time all night at 20-19 and just held on to it to win the second set 22-25.

In the third set it looked like Nebraska had gained its style as they lead all the while until the lead was 20-15. Then things changed as Kansas State out scored the Huskers 8-2 to take the lead at 23-22. From then on it was one point at a time for each team with the scores tied at 25 all then 29-29 and then Kansas State took the next two points to go ahead 2 sets to 1.

The forth set the Huskers looked better holding the lead until the Wildcats went ahead 18-17. Then again it was one point at a time with the score tied at 20 all. Finally the Huskers got a good lead at 23-20 and then went on to tie the sets at 2 all.

In the fifth and final set the unseeded Wildcats took a 4-3 lead and from that point on the Huskers were always trying to catch up as they trailed throughout the set with the final set and tickets to Honolulu going to the Kansas State Wildcats. It was in this last set that the winners totally dominated the home team by hitting a hot .357 finishing off with a 15-11 win, the largest difference in scores the whole night.

Eight Big Ten teams were in the tournament this year outshining the PAC-12 by one. Six teams advance to the second round with only Nebraska and Michigan State falling. Michigan took down #11 Stanford 3-1 and Minnesota won in five sets over Washington. Illinois took Marquette 3-0 and Purdue defeated Louisville 3-1 and often National Champions Penn State shut out Delaware 3-0.

Women’s Basketball Win Streak Ends.

After racking up five straight wins the Lady Huskers fell 73-67 in their Big Ten/ACC Challenge match up against George Tech. The march through Georgia was ended with the Huskers shooting only 32.3 percent with the Yellow Jackets shooting 43.2.

Tech took off with a 16-5 lead in the first eight minutes and led 34-20 at half and then extended their lead to 22 points with nine minutes left.

Lindsey Moore led the Huskers with 16 points, four assists and five steals, while Jordan Hooper added a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman Hailie Sample added career highs of nine points and four assists to help the Huskers, while freshman Tear’a Laudermill finished with seven points and three steals.

In the first 6 games, its easy to see how the youth of this squad is really playing their hearts out. Three freshman, Tear’a Laudermill (6.6 pts), Brandi Jeffery (5.7 pts and 9 steals) and Emily Cady (5.4 pts and 6 blks) lead the lower class. Sophomore Jordan Hooper leads all scorers with 17.7 pts and 6 blks. Junior Lindsey Moore comes in with 14.1 pts and 22 steals.

Coach Connie’s Clan has 5 more non conference games before taking on Penn State at University Park on New Years Eve. One of the non conference games will be in Flagstaff, so if you can snow board, well hurry on up there and catch Connie’s Clan playing Northern Arizona.

Men’s Basketball Gets Clipped By Last Second Lay-up.

There was only 3.6 seconds left on the clock when Wake Forest’s C.J. Harris spun one off the backboard to give Wake Forest a 55-63 win in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge in Lincoln.

Nebraska, which fell to 4-2 on the season, had a chance to take the lead for good on its previous possession, but Bo Spencer, who led three Huskers in double figures with 13 points, missed a short runner in the lane to give the visitors a final possession and chance for a win. Nebraska also had a chance at the buzzer, but Spencer’s desperation heave from mid court bounced off the run, allowing the Deamon Deacons to escape with the win.

In a game which saw nine ties and seven lead changes, neither team could break away in the second half, as the final 20 minutes saw neither team lead by more than three points after the Huskers took a 26-25 halftime advantage.

Both teams overcame a slow start offensively, as Spencer keyed a 10-2 Husker run midway through the first half, scoring five of his seven points in the half as Nebraska turned a 9-all deadlock into its largest lead of the half at 18-11 after a Caleb Walker 3-pointer. Wake Forest made a run in the final minutes of the half, out-scoring Nebraska 8-2 in the final 3:10 to pull within 26-25 after a 3-point play with 43 seconds left in the half. In a game which saw nine ties and seven lead changes, neither team could break away in the second half, as the final 20 minutes saw neither team lead by more than three points after the Huskers took a 26-25 halftime advantage.

Toney McCray and Jorge Brian Diaz joined Spencer in double figures with 12 points apiece, but the Huskers shot just 38.6 percent and were held to their lowest offensive output of the season.

The men have 5 non conference games before opening B1G play against Wisconsin on 12-27. This home game will be carried at 7 PM MST on ESPN2.

OK, now enough of the losers so lets take a look at good things.

Wrestlers Do Good In Las Vegas.

A total of six Husker wrestlers, including four third-place finishers, found the awards stand at the 30^th Annual Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas. As a team, the Huskers finished in fourth place with a total of 106 points. Ohio State took the title with 129 points, followed by Michigan and Wyoming.

James Green (141), Robert Kokesh (165), Josh Ihnen (184) and Tucker Lane (Hwt) all won their consolation finals matches on Saturday to capture third place finishes, while Jake Sueflohn (141) finished in fourth place and Ridge Kiley (133) finished in sixth.

Husker Swim Team Finish Fourth At TYR Invite.

Husker swimmers finished in the top eight of nineteen events in an invitational that the diving squad did not travel to. The Huskers scored 517 points during the meet, just 177 points out of second place. Northwestern won the TYR Invite with 866 team points.

Nebraska had a strong showing throughout the invitational, earning three runner-up finishes from Bailey Pons (500-yard freestyle), Haley Martin (100-yard freestyle) and the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Martin, Pons, Rebekah Land and Kelly Dunn.

Third-place finishers include Shannon Guy in the 100 yard butterfly and Dunn in the 100 yard freestyle at 51.10. Morgan Flanningan, Katie Davis, Natalie Morris and Ellan Dufour also contributed top-eight finishes. Overall, the Huskers saw twenty-six finishes in the top-eight during the meet, leading to a fourth-place finish.

Now here is some really good news.

All Conference Selections for Volleyball Team.

Five Nebraska volleyball players were honored as the 2011 All-Big Ten team was announced. Nebraska and Penn State had a league-best three first-team honorees apiece, as Lauren Cook, Gina Mancuso and Hannah Werth claimed first-team selections, while Morgan Broekhuis and Brooke Delano received honorable-mention accolades. In addition, Team Captain Brigette Root was selected as a Sportsmanship Award honoree.

It was Werth and Delano’s second straight All-Conference honor, while the other three Huskers were recognized for the first time in their careers.

All Conference Selections for Football Team.

Nebraska players earned five first-team spots on both the Coaches and Media All-Big Ten teams announced on Monday evening. Junior Brett Maher was named first-team All-Big Ten as both a place-kicker and punter, and he was joined on the first team by junior running back Rex Burkhead, senior linebacker Lavonte David and senior cornerback Alfonzo Dennard.

In addition to the four first-team honorees, Nebraska had a pair of offensive linemen earn second-team All-Big Ten honors. Senior center Mike Caputo was a second-team choice by the Big Ten coaches, while sophomore guard Spencer Long earned second-team accolades from the conference media.
