    Husker women ice-cold early against Michigan’s D

    BASKETBALL
    Husker women ice-cold early against Michigan’s D
    Seventeen straight missed shots. And 28 rim-outs, bricks and whiffs out of 37 3-point attempts. The No. 13 Nebraska women's basketball team couldn't throw it in several oceans in a 63-52 loss to Michigan Thursday night. But NU coach Connie Yori wants her Huskers to take those shots again. And again. And again. That's what the Wolverines' man-to-man defense — a regiment packed so tightly in the paint it resembled a 2-3 zone from the cheap seats — offered. »

    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.The 7,642 fans at the Devaney Center on Thursday night outdrew the attendance for the Nebraska-Michigan men's game on Wednesday by 623. And unlike the early-exiting crowd Wednesday, Husker fans stayed loud and active even when NU trailed by 27 early in the second half.

    NU getting its young relay team up to speed

    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Freshman sprinter Ricco Hall figured he'd be running the second leg of Nebraska's 1,600-meter relay last Saturday. But shortly before one of the most popular races at the Frank Sevigne Invitational, he found out he'd be running the anchor leg. And there's always, he said, a "love-hate relationship" with that spot. Exhilarating. But pressure-packed.

    Wolverines hand Huskers another home loss

    A smattering of boos after scoring 15 points in the first half. Catcalls from the bleacher seats of, “Just shoot the ball!” Fans from the crowd of 7,019 — the seventh-smallest for a home conference game — walking to the Devaney Center exits with 10 minutes to play. Altogether Wednesday, it was just another long night for Nebraska men's basketball around a 62-46 loss to No. 22 Michigan that could have been much worse.

Tom Brady's desperation heave to the end zone was still alive and couldn't fall to the turf fast enough for Amukamara and his New York Giant defensive mates. From behind, Amukamara saw New England tight end Rob Gronkowski lunge for the ball with just enough of a chance to remind him that anything is possible.

Thought Connie Yori and the ladies would fall back to earth and never be heard from again? Think again. Two years after that season of seasons — 32-2, Big 12 championship, No. 1 seed, NCAA Sweet 16 — the Huskers are 19-3 and half a game out of first place in the Big Ten.

That might be the most encouraging story line out of the Nebraska softball team's preseason sessions. One day, the pitchers have the edge. The next, it's the hitters. Dead even, said pitcher Ashley Hagemann.

Not now. Even as the Huskers are in the thick of a heated Big Ten race — a half-game back of Purdue, tied with Ohio State and a half-game ahead of Penn State — Yori talked tunnel vision Wednesday, most engaged when the questions turned to Thurday's 7:05 p.m. tilt with experienced, patient Michigan.

The Ann Arbor, Mich., insurance salesman was a member of the 1964-65 Wolverine team ranked No. 1 nationally in both polls that came to the NU Coliseum on Dec. 12, 1964, to face Nebraska. Michigan had All-American Cazzie Russell, who scored 29 points, and two other stars in Bill Buntin and Oliver Darden.
