LINCOLN — The Nebraska women’s basketball team, having lost seven players from last season’s roster through graduation and attrition, added a transfer for next season’s roster.

INDIANAPOLIS — The 30th verse for the Nebraska women’s basketball team was like so, so many before it this season.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Nebraska women finished the regular season with a thud Thursday night in an 81-53 loss at Indiana.

LINCOLN — For once in a long, tough February, the Nebraska women’s basketball team made it look easy. The Huskers hit shots, grabbed rebounds, limited turnovers and played stingy enough defense to force shot clock violations.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Time and time again in a 65-52 loss to Ohio State on Wednesday night, Nebraska had chances to cut into a lead the young-but-reckless Buckeyes seemed willing to sacrifice.

LINCOLN — The gut punches don’t get any easier to stomach.

LINCOLN — The positive for Nebraska on Sunday was that it battled all the way back from a 25-point deficit and had the ball with the score tied in the final minute against 18th-ranked Indiana.

IOWA CITY — The Iowa women’s basketball team has now won 33 straight home games for many reasons. But in Thursday night’s 76-60 win over Nebraska, one of those reasons was the Huskers’ ongoing struggles in the third quarter.

LINCOLN — Kate Cain knew she had to make it. Her team led by a bucket, her shot would have made the lead four.

MINNEAPOLIS — Too many scoring droughts, too many turnovers.

MADISON, Wis. — After playing arguably their worst quarter of Big Ten play, the Nebraska women launched a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The drought against Maryland continues.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — In a rock fight full of seesawing runs, fouls, turnovers and missed free throws, the Nebraska women’s basketball team had one too many pebbles in its shoes.

LINCOLN — Sam Haiby could have let the ball go out of bounds or even back to her opponent. The Nebraska women’s basketball team held a double-digit lead at the time, and the third-quarter clock was running out.

LINCOLN — Kate Cain fell to the floor, clapped her hands and pounded both fists against the hardcourt — in joy. She had just hit a shot and drawn a foul in the best game she’d ever played as a Husker and she reveled, just for a minute, in the scene.

LINCOLN — In a sense, it’s almost encouraging that the Nebraska women’s basketball team could perform so poorly in three areas and still nearly steal a road win at Michigan State.
