Creighton at Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. (Interstat) — An early-season intrastate showdown awaits Wednesday night as the undefeated Nebraska women’s basketball team hosts in-state foe Creighton at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
The Cornhuskers (2-0) have opened their season with dominant home victories, most recently an 80-46 win over Samford on Saturday. Freshman Britt Prince led the way with 23 points, while Amiah Hargrove added a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Creighton (1-1) arrives in Lincoln looking to build on its first win of the season, an 83-74 road victory at Drake. Kiani Lockett powered the Bluejays with 25 points and seven assists in that contest, and Grace Boffeli recorded an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double.
Nebraska’s offense has been potent, averaging 91.5 points per game, though against overmatched competition. Creighton presents a more significant test, despite its .500 record. The Bluejays’ lone loss came against a strong South Dakota State team.
The matchup features a contrast in styles, with Nebraska’s high-powered attack facing a Creighton team that showed balanced scoring and resilience in its win at Drake. The game is a key non-conference test for both programs before they continue their respective schedules later this month.
Tipoff is set for Wednesday, Nov. 12, in Lincoln.
