The Nebraska women's basketball team has been on a roll, recently achieving its fourth-straight win since that lone loss to Creighton. In a rather unappealing 63-50 victory over Tarleton State, the team showed both strengths and areas for improvement. Despite the win, it was arguably one of the worst performances of the season, with shooting percentages below 30% from the field and 7-for-22 from beyond the arc. The Huskers also turned the ball over 17 times, compared to Tarleton State's six, and only won the rebound battle by a narrow margin of 38-36.

Five-Star Freshman Britt Prince: A Game-Changer

Five-star freshman Britt Prince led the way with an outstanding 19 points and five rebounds, demonstrating her potential and impact on the team. Her ability to score and rebound in crucial moments was crucial in securing the win. Alongside her, Alexis Markowski added 15 points and six boards, while Amiah Hargrove chipped in 13 points. This game was a learning experience for the Huskers, who will now go back to the drawing board to get back to their offensive strengths.

Upcoming Opponent: Chattanooga

Sunday's opponent, Chattanooga, presents a great opportunity for the Huskers to right the ship. The Mocs have a new head coach, DeAndra Schirmer, who comes with a solid coaching background. She was previously at Valdosta State, where she compiled a 114-31 record and reached the NCAA Tournament for four consecutive seasons. Chattanooga has a few key returners and additions, with Karsen Murphy and Caia Elisaldez being the double-figure scorers. The Mocs also have some promising recruits like Gianna Corbitt and Izzy McPherson. Despite a 4-7 record, Chattanooga has done a decent job defensively, limiting opponents to a 26.2 three-point percentage.

Key Statistics and Insights

Looking at the overall statistics, Nebraska's shooting performance against Tarleton State was a cause for concern. Shooting less than 30% from the field and 7-for-22 from three-point range is not up to their usual standards. However, their ability to win the game despite these shortcomings shows their resilience. On the other hand, Chattanooga's defensive efforts in limiting opponents' three-point shooting is a positive aspect. Their schedule has been a mix of wins and losses, with some notable opponents.

Team Dynamics and Rebuilding

This season is a rebuilding year for Chattanooga, as they lost their top three scorers, including Raven Thompson and Hannah Kohn, who both left for Clemson. The team is now relying on the leadership of players like Karsen Murphy and Caia Elisaldez. The addition of Brooke Anya through the transfer portal has also added depth to the team. For Nebraska, this game against Chattanooga is an opportunity to regain their form and get back on track before resuming conference play.Stay up to date on all things Huskers by bookmarking Nebraska Cornhuskers On SI, subscribing to HuskerMax on YouTube, and visiting HuskerMax.com daily.
