Huskers.com will carry a free live audio broadcast with Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch calling the action. Nebraska is one of only four Big 12 teams that managed to go undefeated during the opening week of conference action. The Huskers cruised to home wins over No. 15 Texas and Kansas thanks to a stingy defense that surrendered a Big 12-best 48.0 points per game last week. To put that in perspective, Oklahoma State point guard Andrea Riley scored 45 on her own in Saturday s victory over the Sooners. Riley and the Cowgirls managed the second-best opening-week defensive effort, allowing 58.5 points per game last week. Through two league games, the Huskers also lead the Big 12 in field goal percentage defense (29.9 percent) and scoring margin (plus 15.5 ppg), while ranking second in the Big 12 in free throw shooting. NU has hit 83.6 percent of its attempts in league play after entering Big 12 play ranked 11th in free throw percentage (59.9 percent) - just ahead of Oklahoma. Wednesday s battle with the Sooners features two of the best juniors in the nation in 2007 National Player of the Year Courtney Paris from Oklahoma and 2007 first-team All-Big 12 forward Kelsey Griffin.

Last season Oklahoma handed the Huskers a loss in the second game of the year, but NU reeled off three straight wins to start 4-1. Nebraska has started the league season no worse than 2-1 in the last five years. OU has handed the Huskers their first Big 12 loss on two occasions during that span (70-51, Jan. 7, 2003). 4Nebraska is leading the Big 12 through two league games by surrendering just 48 points per game. Oklahoma State ranks second at 58.5 points per contest. Over the last four games, NU is allowing just 43.3 points per game. 4Nebraska's 45 points allowed in a win over No. 15 Texas were the fewest scored by a top-25 opponent in school history against the Huskers. 4Nebraska s win over No. 15 Texas was its third consecutive win over a top-25 opponent at the Devaney Center. Nebraska defeated No. 13 Baylor, 76-67, in an FSN national telecast on Feb. 3, 2007, after running past No. 25 Kansas State, 70-63, on Jan. 17, The Huskers are 10-0 at the Devaney Center this season, outscoring opponents by 19.6 points per game ( ). NU is also plus-8.5 on the boards at home. Nebraska s home schedule has included traditional NCAA powers Texas, USC, Mississippi, Florida and Kansas. UTEP, which is 12-2 this season, is the only team to play Nebraska within single digits at home this year. 4Nebraska (30-32) and Kansas (7-8) combined to hit 37-of-40 free throws on Saturday. The 92.5 percent free throw shooting was the best combined mark by both teams in Husker history, surpassing a 34-of-37 effort (91.9 percent) between Nebraska (18-19) and Oklahoma (16-18) in the Sooners win at the Lloyd Noble Center on Feb. 5, With a halftime score of 19-17, Nebraska's win over No. 15 Texas tied for the lowest-scoring first half combined by both teams in school history. It matched a 1979 defensive struggle with Oklahoma. The 36 points represent the lowest total in more than 1,000 games in school history. 4Nebraska is the only team in the Big 12 without a player among the top 30 in minutes. Through two Big 12 games, 82 players saw more than 30 minutes of action in at least one game, including 18 who played 40 or more minutes in a contest. Danielle Page is the only Husker to play more than 30 minutes in a game, with 31 minutes in the win over Kansas. No other Husker played more than 26 minutes in either of NU s first two league contests. Husker Hype: Individual Notes 4Kelsey Griffin enjoyed a strong return to the court to open Big 12 play after sitting out Nebraska s final four non-conference games with a rib injury. The first-team All-Big 12 forward posted her second double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds in NU s win over No. 15 Texas, before adding a game-high 15 points and six rebounds in a win over Kansas. 4Griffin has moved into 19th on Nebraska s career scoring list with 1,051 points. She needs 18 points to catch Kate Galligan in 18th place on the list with 1,069, and 23 to reach Tina McClain in 17th with 1,074. 4Danielle Page produced one of her most complete lines of the year with eight points, seven rebounds, seven blocks and career-high tying totals of four assists and three steals against Kansas. Page, who has blocked a shot in 12 straight games and 15 of 16 games this season, has 42 on the year and 171 in her career. 4Page s seven blocks against Kansas marked the second time in six games that the 6-2 forward had produced seven in a game, joining her seven-block effort at Cal State Bakersfield on Dec. 13. Page has blocked seven or more shots three times in the last 26 games, including a school-recond nine-block effort against Baylor on Feb. 3, A defensive star for the Huskers, Yvonne Turner has recorded 19 steals over NU s last three games, including eight steals against No. 15 Texas and five steals against Kansas. Turner turned the tide for NU in the second half against UT, scoring all nine of her points after halftime to turn a NU deficit into a lead late in the game. She finished with nine points, five rebounds and six steals. She added seven points and five steals against KU. 4Turner has had at least two steals in 10 straight games and has averaged 6.3 steals over the last three games to push her season total to 49, which is 13 more steals than NU s leader - Kelsey Griffin - had all of Kala Kuhlmann enjoyed the best week of her career by averaging 7.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in wins over No. 15 Texas and Kansas. Kuhlmann was NU s third-leading scorer and rebounder during the first week of Big 12 play. 4Cory Montgomery, who started NU s last four non-conference games in place of Kelsey Griffin, came off the bench to score 10 points and grab six boards against Texas. It was Montgomery s 11th game in double figures this season. Montgomery is the only non-starter in the Big 12 to rank among the top 30 players in the league in scoring.

3 Nebraska Women s Basketball Page 3 at Oklahoma Jan. 16, 2008 Huskers.com Huskers Playing Huge at Home to Open Season Nebraska has enjoyed great success at home during non-conference action. Not only have the Huskers bolted to a 10-0 start at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, they have done it in dominant fashion. The Huskers are shooting 47.3 percent on their homecourt this season, leading to a scoring average of 75.7 points per game. NU has outscored the opposition by an average of 19.6 points at home, holding opponents to 56.1 points per game. Husker foes are shooting just 34.4 percent from the field in Lincoln. The Huskers also own a plus-8.5 rebounding margin and a plus-2.1 team turnover margin at home. Those numbers are made even more impressive considering the strength of Nebraska s home schedule early in the season. The only team to play the Huskers within single digits was UTEP (81-74). The Miners, who won 22 games last season, are off to a 12-2 start and ranked No. 32 according to CollegeRPI.com, with their only other loss coming on the road at Kansas State. Along with its most recent wins over No. 15 Texas (56-45) and Kansas (71-51), Nebraska sprinted to an victory over 2007 NCAA Elite Eight qualifier Mississippi, before galloping past the Florida Gators, NU defeated in-state rival Creighton, 79-65, after leading by 30 points midway through the second half, before rolling to a win over 2007 NCAA Tournament participant Robert Morris. The Huskers cruised to an win over traditional power USC, before notching their most lopsided win of the year with a win over a Denver club that was coming off a 20-win season in Scouting The No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners The defending Big 12 co-champions head into this week s Big 12 action after suffering an loss at No. 25 Oklahoma State on Saturday. It was OU s worst Big 12 Conference loss since suffering a setback at Texas on Feb. 26, Last season, the Sooners went 13-3 through the league with their largest losing margin coming in a 10-point setback to Texas A&M on Feb. 10. Two years ago, OU went undefeated through the league s regular-season and tournament. Despite the recent setback, Oklahoma still brings a loaded arsenal into Wednesday s game with the Huskers. OU is 10-3 with its only other losses coming to current No. 2 Tennessee (70-67, Nov. 15) and current No. 4 Maryland (76-66, Nov. 11) in the season s first two games. Big 12 Player-of-the-Week Andrea Riley stopped OU s 10-game winning streak by pumping in a career-high 45 points against the Sooners. Riley s performance overshadowed the 15 points and 19 rebounds produced by OU s reigning National Player of the Year Courtney Paris. The 6-4 center is one of the most dominant post players in the history of the women s game, and leads OU with 15.8 points and 16.4 rebounds per game. Midway through her junior season, Paris owns 1,766 points and 1,278 rebounds in just 82 career games. She also owns 272 career blocks. In her career she has averaged 21.5 points and 15.6 boards per game. The only weakness in Paris game is her free throw shooting, as she has hit just 54.8 percent of her attempts this year. Courtney is joined in OU s starting lineup this season by her 6-3 twin sister, Ashley, who has averaged 12.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Ashley is also shooting a team-best 62.6 percent from the field, but has managed just 44.8 percent shooting at the free throw line. Sophomore Amanda Thompson, a 6-0 forward, rounds out OU s imposing front line by averaging 8.8 points and 7.0 boards per game. With the Paris twins and Thompson combining for 30.6 rebounds per game, Oklahoma leads the nation with a jaw-dropping plus-17.5 team rebounding margin. Sophomore Jenna Plumley (8.2 ppg, 1.8 rpg) and freshman Danielle Robinson (12.8 ppg, 3.1 rpg) lead a young Sooner backcourt.

They are averaging 19.1 turnovers per game and own a negative-0.3 team turnover margin. They have also struggled at the free throw line, ranking last in the Big 12 and among the worst teams in the nation at just 58.5 percent. Nebraska vs. Oklahoma Series History Nebraska heads to Norman in search of its first win at the Lloyd Noble Center since Feb. 14, Oklahoma leads the all-time series with NU, 24-22, including an 8-1 record over the last nine games. Nebraska s most recent win came in a victory over OU in Lincoln on Feb. 6, Before NU s 2005 win over the Sooners, Nebraska s last win against OU came in Lincoln on Jan. 30, 1999, capping a five-game series winning streak over Oklahoma. Nebraska s loss to the Sooners in Lincoln on Jan. 6, 2007, marked the most competitive game either way in the series since an thriller on Feb. 11, Before last season s eight-point decision, the two teams had combined for 14 straight games with double-digit margins. Nebraska owned six double-figure victories during that stretch, while OU managed eight. HuskerS Ground Jayhawks, Nebraska used a 17-2 run late in the first half to turn a three-point deficit into a 12-point halftime lead, as the Huskers rolled to a victory over Kansas in front of more than 5,400 fans at the Bob Devaney Sports Center and an FSN national television audience on Saturday afternoon. Kelsey Griffin led Nebraska with 15 points, including a 9-for-11 shooting performance at the free throw line. Griffin added six rebounds for the Huskers, who produced their best free throw effort of the season at the line, going 30-of-32 at the stripe. Coming into the game, NU had hit just 60.7 percent of its free throws as a team, but improved its season percentage to 64 percent after the stellar effort. The Huskers were a perfect 19-for-19 from the line in the second half, as they added to their lead after intermission, despite going 12 minutes in the second half with just one field goal. In fact, Nebraska scored 19 points at the line and just 14 points from the field in the second half to produce a 20-point victory margin. Griffin was the only Husker to manage double figures, but Nebraska received contributions across the board from its lineup. Senior forward Danielle Page had an impressive line that included eight points, seven rebounds, seven blocked shots, four assists and three steals. Page s seven blocks tied for the second-best total in school history and marked the third time in the last 26 games she had seven or more blocks in a contest, including her school-record nine in a win over Baylor on Feb. 3, Sophomore guard Kala Kuhlmann added eight points and three rebounds off the bench. Junior Tay Hester added seven points, including a perfect 5-for-5 shooting effort at the free throw line, while sophomore point guard Yvonne Turner continued her solid play with seven points and five steals. Sophomores Nikki Bober and Nicole Neals also provided impressive contributions with six points apiece, including a perfect shooting night from the field and the line for Bober, and a pair of three-pointers for Neals. Kansas finished the game shooting just 33.9 percent (20-59) from the field and committed 24 turnovers. The Jayhawks were able to keep the score respectable by outrebounding the Huskers, 38-27, including 19 offensive boards. KU attempted 19 more shots than the Huskers, but hit just one more field goal, while NU outscored the Jayhawks, 30-7, at the free throw line. NU built a halftime lead and quickly pushed the margin to 18 by opening the second half on an 8-2 surge, capped by Turner s layup following a steal to make it with 17:18 left in the game. Griffin s Back and You re Gonna Be in Trouble First-team All-Big 12 forward Kelsey Griffin returned to Nebraska s starting lineup against No. 15 Texas after missing NU s last four non-conference games with a rib injury. Griffin announced her presence with authority by posting her second double-double of the season and 15th of her career with 13 points and 10 rebounds in the win over the Longhorns. She added a blocked shot and a pair of steals in 25 minutes of action. She led NU with 15 points and six boards in Saturday s win over Kansas. The 6-2 forward from Eagle River, Alaska, did not practice or play from Dec. 14 to Jan. 3, while trying recover from a cracked rib suffered in NU s final exhibition game against Nebraska-Omaha on Nov. 5. Despite the injury, she has started 12 games and has taken a team-leading 13 charges. Lone Senior Page Leading Huskers Across the Board Nebraska senior Danielle Page ranks among Husker statistical leaders in several categories. The 6-2 forward from Monument, Colo., is averaging 11.9 points and team-best marks of 7.4 rebounds and 2.6 blocked shots per game. She ranks 26th in the Big 12 in scoring, is tied for 10th in rebounds and ranks fourth in blocked shots. Page has scored in double figures 10 times this season, including a pair of 20-plus efforts. She erupted for a career-high 27 points in an win over Mississippi on Nov. 11, and averaged 23.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in NU s opening weekend. She earned the first Big 12 Conference Player-of-the-Week award on Nov. 12. Page added one of the best defensive efforts of her career when she pulled down 13 defensive rebounds, blocked

5 Nebraska Women s Basketball Page 5 at Oklahoma Jan. 16, 2008 Huskers.com seven shots and notched one steal in Nebraska s win over Cal State Bakersfield. She added seven more blocks to go along with eight points, seven boards, four assists and three steals in the win over Kansas. Against USC, Page had 21 points, eight rebounds and five blocks in in NU s win. Page produced her first double-double of the year and third of her career with 11 points and 10 rebounds in NU s win over Florida on Nov. 17. She nearly added her second straight double-double with 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field and nine rebounds in NU s loss to Marist on Nov. 23. She scored 14 points, grabbed six rebounds and tied a career high with four assists while blocking three shots in Nebraska s win over Robert Morris on Dec. 2. She added a 17-point effort in a win over Creighton that included five rebounds and three blocked shots on Nov. 30. Page pumped in 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds in a loss at No. 18 Ohio State on Dec. 22, before scoring 10 points and grabbing eight boards to go along with a season-high three steals in NU s run past Denver on Dec. 30. Last year, Page bounced back quickly from ACL surgery on her right knee on June 29, 2006, to appear in NU s first game. She enjoyed her best season, averaging 7.0 points and 5.5 rebounds, including a season-high 17 points against Kansas on Jan. 27. It was one of seven double-figure scoring performances for Page as a junior, including her second career double-double with 11 points and 10 boards in NU s win over No. 25 Kansas State on Jan. 17. Page showed her defensive dominance throughout the season by setting NU s junior single-season record with 60 blocked shots, including a record-setting nine blocks, while tying a career high with 11 rebounds in Nebraska s win over No. 13 Baylor on Feb. 3. Page s effort against the Lady Bears was one of the best individual defensive performances in school history. She tied the previous school record with seven blocks in just 13 first-half minutes, before adding a pair after halftime. She also grabbed nine defensive rebounds. She added a strong effort in the NCAA Tournament with eight points, a game-high eight rebounds and an NU NCAA Tournament record five blocks in a loss to Temple on March 18. She added 16 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in NU s overtime loss to Iowa State in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals (March 7). Page scored eight straight points at the end of regulation and the start of overtime, including a pair of free throws with 9.7 seconds left in regulation to give NU a lead over ISU. Montgomery May Be Big 12 s Best Off the Bench Although Cory Montgomery made four consecutive starts to close non-conference action, the 6-2 sophomore forward returned to her role as one of the Big 12 Conference s best off the bench for the start of league play against No. 15 Texas when first-team All-Big 12 forward Kelsey Griffin returned to the lineup. Montgomery continued to supply big minutes for the Huskers by scoring 10 points and grabbing six rebounds in the win over the Longhorns. Through NU s first 16 games, Montgomery ranks 29th in the Big 12 in scoring despite playing just 20.4 minutes per contest. Montgomery s presence on the league s scoring chart is notable, since she is the only player with fewer than eight starts on the list. Missouri s Jessra Johnson, who has started eight of MU s 15 games, is the only other player among the top 30 scorers in the Big 12 who is not a fixture in her team s starting lineup. Johnson, who is averaging 15.3 points per game, has started MU s last four games and is expected to be the Tigers regular starter in the post during conference play. Johnson is averaging 24.5 minutes per game for the Tigers. Montgomery gives the Huskers a trio of potent weapons inside, spelling both Danielle Page and Kelsey Griffin in NU s forward rotation. Through 16 games, Montgomery is averaging 11.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, while shooting a team-best 52.9 percent from the field. She made her first career start in Nebraska s win at Long Beach State on Dec. 15, and scored 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field, including her fourth three-pointer of the season against the 49ers. She added 14 points and six rebounds in a career-high 32 minutes in her second career start at No. 18 Ohio State on Dec. 22. Montgomery also knocked down a career-best two three-pointers against the Buckeyes. She pumped in 17 points and pulled down eight rebounds in a win over Denver on Dec. 30, to produce her 10th double-figure scoring effort of the season. Montgomery came up big in Nebraska s victory over USC on Dec. 8, by scoring a career-high 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field to go along with six rebounds. She scored seven points in the final 3:14 to help NU turn a seven-point lead into an 18-point win, while scoring 14 of her game-high 21 points in the second half. In NU s win over Cal State Bakersfield, Montgomery scored nine points in the final eight minutes to help the Huskers surge to victory down the stretch. She hit 5-of-7 shots from the field for the game, missing only a pair of three-point attempts, to finish with 12 points. Montgomery produced the first double-double of her career with 16 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in Nebraska s win over Robert Morris on Dec. 2. She earned a spot on the five-player all-tournament team at the Oahu Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii, by averaging 10.3 points off the bench in three tournament games. Minimizing Minutes, Maximizing production Senior forward Danielle Page is leading the Huskers in playing time with 26.2 minutes per game. While she leads the Huskers, Page does not even crack the Big 12 s list of 30 leaders in playing time so far this season. In fact, Nebraska is the only team in the Big 12 that does not have a player who ranks among the top 30 in the league in minutes. The only other teams with fewer than two players are Texas (Brittainey Raven, 31.5 mpg) and Texas Tech (Dominic Seals, 28.1 mpg). Missouri (4), led by Alyssa Hollins Big 12-high 36.5 minutes per game, joins Baylor (4), Oklahoma (4) and Kansas (4) in producing 16 of the league s top 30 in minutes played.

On the opening night of Big 12 action, 43 players around the league played at least 30 minutes, including four players who competed for the full 40. Page and Kaitlyn Burke led the Huskers with just 26 minutes each. On opening weekend, 39 more Big 12 players battled for more than 30 minutes, including 14 who played 40 or more minutes thanks to overtimes games at Colorado (ISU/CU, 2OT) and Texas (UT/KSU). Page is the only Husker to play more than 30 minutes in Big 12 play, registering 31 minutes in the win over Kansas. Turner Turning Up Defensive Heat for Huskers Sophomore Yvonne Turner is making a name for herself as an explosive defensive player in Nebraska s lineup this season. The 5-7 point guard leads the Huskers with 49 steals this season, already giving her 13 more steals than any Husker during the entire campaign (Kelsey Griffin, 36). Turner averaged 8.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.5 steals per game to open Big 12 play last week, including nine points, five rebounds and six steals against No. 15 Texas. Turner, who has 19 steals in her last three games, had her second eight-steal performance of the year in NU s win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Jan. 2. The mark gave her two of the top-10 individual single-game steals efforts in school history and made her one of only three players in NU history to record eight or more steals on two occasions in her career. She added her most impressive defensive performance of the season with a career-high eight steals in Nebraska s win over Florida on Nov. 17. Turner nabbed five steals in the first 1:31 of the second half, while her eight steals tied for the eighth-highest total in school history, just two shy of Kathy Hawkins school record. Amazingly, Turner recorded her eight steals in her first 12 minutes of action on the court in the game s first 22 minutes. Turner has also shown some offensive explosiveness during her second season with the Huskers. In addition to her eight steals in NU s non-conference finale against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Jan. 2, Turner scored 10 points, dished out five assists and grabbed five rebounds for the Huskers. It was her third double-figure scoring effort of the season, joining her career-high 11-point performance in NU s win over Ole Miss on Nov. 11, and a 10-point effort at Long Beach State on Dec. 15. Turner added eight points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals at No. 18 Ohio State on Dec. 22. She also contributed one of the best all-around games of her career with eight points, four rebounds and three steals in Nebraska s win over USC on Dec. 8. Turner enters Wednesday s game at Oklahoma averaging 6.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.1 steals per game. Griffin Reaches Milestone in Win over USC Junior forward Kelsey Griffin became the 23rd player in Nebraska women s basketball history to reach the 1,000- point mark in her career when she scored the game s first points in NU s win over USC on Dec. 8. Griffin finished the USC game with 13 points, and has since increased her total to 1,051 points to rank 19th on NU s career scoring list. She also has 529 career rebounds, making her one of just 15 players in school history to amass 1,000 points and 500 boards in their careers. The 6-2 forward from Eagle River, Alaska, is poised to make a major jump up Nebraska s scoring and rebounding charts. She needs just 18 points to catch Kate Galligan at No. 18 with 1,069 points, and just 23 points to match Tina McClain at No. 17 with 1,074 points. To join Nebraska s top-10 list as a scorer by the end of her junior season, Griffin will need to catch Diane DelVigna at 1,433 points. To become one of NU s top-10 career rebounders, Griffin (529) needs 112 more boards to catch Tina McClain at 641. Griffin also needs just eight more blocked shots to crack NU s career top 10 in that category. She owns 55 blocks in her career and has 12 blocks through her first 12 games this season. Pyra Aarden and Karen Jennings are tied for ninth on NU s career chart with 63 blocks. Hester Gives Huskers All-Around Threat On The Wing Junior guard Tay Hester has given Nebraska an all-around offensive and defensive threat on the wing early in her Husker career. The 5-10 guard from Moreno Valley, Calif., produced her first career double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds in the season opener against her former teammates from UTEP. Hester s double-double was the first by a Husker wing player since Keasha Cannon-Johnson had 11 points and 10 rebounds in NU s Postseason WNIT victory over Drake on March 18, Hester closed her strong weekend by adding 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the win over Ole Miss on Nov. 11. Hester added a team-high four assists, to go along with four rebounds and a steal against the Rebels. The California native has produced double figures five times, including a career-high 14 points and four assists in a loss at No. 14 Ohio State on Dec. 22. She also pitched in 12 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals in Nebraska s win over USC on Dec. 8. Hester scored 10 of her 12 points in the second half to help the Huskers turn a two-point halftime lead into an 18-point victory over the Women of Troy. Hester had 11 points and six rebounds in a win over Robert Morris on Dec. 2, after producing eight points, eight rebounds and three assists in a win over Creighton on Nov. 30. Through 16 games, Hester is averaging 7.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, while ranking second among the Huskers with 36 assists. She has added 19 steals and three blocked shots on the year.

7 Nebraska Women s Basketball Page 7 at Oklahoma Jan. 16, 2008 Huskers.com Freshman Kelley Produces Solid Early Numbers Lincoln native Dominique Kelley has her Husker career off to a strong start. The Lincoln Northeast High School graduate ranks fifth on the team in scoring with 7.0 points per game, while adding 3.5 rebounds per contest. Kelley ranks among the top 10 freshmen in the Big 12 in scoring (ninth), rebounding (seventh) and assists (fourth). Her 11 made three-pointers are also tied for seventh among league freshmen. She scored a game-high 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field in NU s win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Jan. 2. That effort followed a 15-point performance that included a career-high nine rebounds in a win over Denver on Dec. 30. Kelley also knocked down a career-high three three-pointers against the Pioneers. Kelley established her career high with 16 points in a win over Florida on Nov. 17, before leading the Huskers with 13 points and seven boards in a win over Akron on Nov. 25. She added a strong effort with nine points, five rebounds and two assists at No. 18 Ohio State on Dec. 22. Kelley is shooting a team-best 37.9 percent (11-29) from three-point range and her 11 made three-pointers rank second on the team, trailing only fellow freshman Kaitlyn Burke s 19. Kelley has been hot from long range in recent weeks, hitting 8-of-17 three-point attempts over the last seven games. The 2007 Nebraska High School Player of the Year and a WBCA Honorable-Mention High School All-American, Kelley produced one of the best prep careers in Nebraska history at Lincoln Northeast. Kelley led the Rockets to a 70-3 record in her final three seasons, scoring 595 points as a senior, just 19 points shy of the Class A single-season scoring record set by former Husker and 1988 Big Eight Player-of-the-Year Maurtice Ivy. Kelley averaged 24.7 points per game last year. Burke Earns Nomination For Best Supporting Role No stranger to the spotlight, Kaitlyn Burke has certainly earned a nomination for best supporting role by a Husker non-starter in her young Nebraska career. The former childhood actress played starring roles in Nebraska s wins in California. The 5-7 guard from North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, erupted for career highs of 15 points, five threepointers and seven assists in a career-best 34 minutes off the bench in NU s win at Cal State Bakersfield on Dec. 13. She provided an impressive encore by leading the Huskers in scoring, rebounding and assists with 14 points, a career-high seven boards and five assists in a run past Long Beach State on Dec. 15. Nebraska s leader in both assists (44) and three-pointers made (19), Burke is averaging 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. She ranks 10th among Big 12 freshmen in scoring, second in assists and fourth in three-pointers made. Burke brought her talents to the Devaney Center stage in her career-opening performance against UTEP on Nov. 9. She poured in 13 points, including a trio of three-pointers, to help the Huskers to an win over the Miners. She added a solid encore in Nebraska s win over Ole Miss on Nov. 11, when she scored nine points, grabbed two steals and dished out an assist in 21 minutes to conclude a strong opening weekend. Burke turned her focus from feature films such as Questar s Ms. Bear (1997) and Bear with Me (2000), to athletics seven years ago, after appearing with such Hollywood stars as Lindsay Lohan, Tyra Banks and Henry Winkler. Last year, Burke played on the international stage as a member of the Canadian Junior National Team and was one of the first members of the Canadian National Development Academy in Four Huskers Own Double-Doubles Nebraska is displaying impressive athleticism across the board early in the season. Through the first 16 games, four different Huskers have put up double-doubles in points and rebounds, while freshman guard Dominique Kelley just missed her first career double-double with 15 points and nine rebounds against Denver on Dec. 30. Kelsey Griffin is the most recent Husker to notch a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds to open Big 12 play in a win over No. 15 Texas on Jan. 9. It was Griffin s second double-double of the season. Newcomer Tay Hester was the first Husker to notch a double-double on the year with 13 points and 12 rebounds in NU s opening-night win over UTEP on Nov. 9. Hester became the first NU wing player since Keasha Cannon-Johnson on March 18, 2004, to claim a double-double. Senior forward Danielle Page joined Hester with a double-double by producing 11 points and 10 boards in Nebraska s win over Florida on Nov. 17. It was Page s third career double-double. Against Robert Morris on Dec. 2, both Griffin and Cory Montgomery produced their first double-doubles of the season, as Griffin rolled to 15 points and 12 rebounds in just 17 minutes, while Montgomery notched her first career double-double with 16 points and 11 boards in 22 minutes. Last season, Griffin claimed 10 double-doubles on the season, but Page was the only other Husker to manage a double-double on the year with 11 points and 10 rebounds against Kansas State on Jan. 17.

The 5-8 guard from Charter Oak, Iowa, is averaging 4.0 points and 2.6 rebounds per game off the bench, including 7.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game to open Big 12 play. Kuhlmann scored a career-high 11 points to go along with a career-best five assists in 15 minutes of action in a win over Florida on Nov. 17. She added nine points in a win over Akron on Nov. 25, before scoring eight points in NU s Big 12 win over Kansas on Jan. 12. She opened Big 12 play with seven points and a career-best six rebounds in a career-high 24 minutes in a win over No. 15 Texas on Jan. 9. Through 13 games, Kuhlmann has scored 42 points, grabbed 34 rebounds, dished out 26 assists and grabbed six steals. As a freshman last season, Kuhlmann appeared in 27 games and totaled 20 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists and one steal on the year. She did not play in NU s games at Cal State Bakersfield, Long Beach State or No. 18 Ohio State after suffering a sprained knee in the Huskers victory over USC on Dec. 8. All-Big 12 Forward Griffin Shows Her Toughness First-team All-Big 12 forward Kelsey Griffin was listed as questionable for NU s season-opening win over UTEP, but the only question in her mind may have been when she was going to decide that she would start. She answered that question at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 9, when she made the decision to start Nebraska s season opener despite sitting out all week with sore ribs. Griffin suffered the injury after a pair of collisions early in the second half of a Nov. 5 exhibition win over Nebraska-Omaha. In fact, she was not around to see NU s win over the Mavs because she was taken by ambulance to Saint Elizabeth s Regional Medical Center in Lincoln for evaluation and testing. She did not spend the night in the hospital, but she did not practice on Nov. 7 or Nov. 8 and shot around for only a few minutes on Nov. 9. Griffin showed no ill effects of the injury, grabbing the opening tip-off and helping the Huskers roll to a lead in the first 14 minutes by scoring six points and grabbing six rebounds. She finished the night with 15 points and eight boards, almost exactly her averages from her first-team All-Big 12 season in The injury did affect Griffin in NU s second game against Ole Miss. She played just 19 minutes and attempted just three shots from the field, settling for a career-low two points. Her interior presence continued to be the focus of the Ole Miss defense, and her teammates benefitted in a big way, as Danielle Page scored a career-high 27 points, while sophomore forward Cory Montgomery added 10 points. Griffin leads the team in scoring with 12.2 points per game while ranking second with 6.0 rebounds per game. She also leads the Huskers by taking 13 charges this season, including three in a win at Cal State Bakersfield on Dec. 13. She scored a season-high 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds in NU s win over Creighton on Nov. 30, but aggravated her rib injury when she fell hard to the floor while being fouled on her final basket of the night with less than three minutes left. She bounced back quickly, despite being slowed by a head cold, to post her first double-double of the season with 15 points and 12 rebounds in a win over Robert Morris just two days later. Page Swats Way Up Nebraska Blocked Shot Lists Senior Danielle Page has established herself as one of the Big 12 s best shot blockers during her career, and is continuing to attack the Husker record book as a senior. Page, who has produced the three best single-game block marks in school history in her last 26 games, set a season high with seven rejections in Nebraska s win at Cal State Bakersfield on Dec. 13, and matched the mark with seven more blocks in NU s win over Kansas on Jan a span of just six games. Page-inator (NU Career Blocks) Player Bks 1. Janet Smith Danielle Page Charlie Rogers Maurtice Ivy Kathy Hagerstrom Katie Morse Casey Leonhardt Rissa Taylor Pyra Aarden 63 Karen Jennings 63 She increased her season total to 42 blocks, which already ties for eighth on Nebraska s single-season block chart. Her seven blocks tied for second on NU s single-game chart, trailing only her nine blocks in a win over No. 13 Baylor on Feb. 3, In the season finale against Temple on March 18, Page smashed NU s NCAA Tournament record with five blocks against the Owls to push her season total to 60. Page s season total set Nebraska s junior single-season record and ranked as the second-highest single-season block mark in NU history, trailing only 69 by Janet Smith ( ). Page, who has blocked at least one attempt in 26 of the last 27 games, owns 42 blocks on the year matching 2007 National Player of the Year Courtney Paris from Oklahoma in that category. She is on pace to challenge Smith s single-season block mark. Page is averaging 2.6 blocks per game, which over a 32-game season would give her 83 blocks on the year. Page totaled 34 blocks (3.1 bpg) in NU s final 11 games of , and in Big 12 games only, she ranked second in the league (2.38 bpg) behind only Paris (3.75 bpg). Page ranks second on NU s career blocked shot list with 171 in her career. With 60 blocks as a junior, she became just the fourth player in Nebraska history to block 50 shots in a season, joining Janet Smith (four times), Katie Morse (54, ) and Casey Leonhardt (51, ). NU s career leader with 238 blocks, Smith owned the top three single-season block marks with 56 in , 59 in and 69 in , before Page s performance in

9 Nebraska Women s Basketball Page 9 at Oklahoma Jan. 16, 2008 Huskers.com In , Page s 38 blocks ranked as the second-most in history by an NU sophomore, trailing only Smith s 69. Page s 31 blocks ranked fourth in history among NU freshmen. Page has joined Smith as the only Huskers in history to record 30 or more blocks in four consecutive seasons. In fact, Page and Smith are the only Huskers to produce 30 or more blocks in three straight years. Nebraska Ranked High in Final Big 12 Statistics The Huskers finished second in the Big 12 with their 44.6 field goal percentage, which helped NU rank third in the league in scoring offense (71.2 ppg). Nebraska ranked third in the conference with its 71.4 free throw percentage, while ranking fifth in the league with 5.4 made three-pointers per game. NU also ranked fifth in the Big 12 in scoring margin (+8.7 ppg) and rebounding margin (+2.6 rpg). In league games only, Nebraska ranked second in the Big 12 with its 43.2 field goal percentage, scoring margin (+4.6) and rebound margin (+1.8), while ranking third in the conference in scoring offense (67.4 ppg). The Huskers were also third in the league in free throw percentage (74.9 percent). NU allowed Big 12 foes just 35.9 total rebounds per game, the second-best total in the league. Nebraska also ranked fourth in the league in field goal percentage defense at 39.3 percent. Huskers Battling Big Names at Devaney Center in Nebraska will face some of the nation s top teams on the Huskers homecourt at the Bob Devaney Sports Center during an impressive schedule. NU s schedule features non-conference home battles against traditional Southeastern Conference powers Mississippi and Florida, along with Pac 10 power USC in an eight-game non-conference home schedule. Nebraska s home Big 12 schedule will include contests with defending conference co-champion Texas A&M, 2007 NCAA Tournament qualifiers Iowa State and Oklahoma State and traditionally strong Texas. Overall, NU s schedule will feature 15 games against 2007 postseason qualifiers, including 10 games against 2007 NCAA Tournament squads. The Huskers could play six games against teams that finished among the top 25 RPI clubs in the nation a year ago. From start to finish, our schedule should rank among the best in the Big 12 and the nation again this year, Yori said. During the non-conference season, we could play seven games against teams that had 20-win seasons a year ago. Obviously, playing Mississippi at home in the second game of the season after they were in the NCAA Elite Eight last year jumps out at you. The Huskers got a stiff test at home even before taking on the Lady Rebels, opening the regular season with a thrilling win over UTEP on Nov. 9. The Miners finished with a 22-8 record in After taking on a pair of 20-win teams in UTEP and Ole Miss (Nov. 11), the Huskers rolled to a win over SEC foe Florida at the Devaney Center on Nov. 17. The Gators have advanced to the postseason in 13 of the last 15 years, including 11 NCAA tournaments. After opening the season with a three-game homestand, Nebraska made a long road trip to the Oahu Classic in Honolulu during Thanksgiving break. The tournament field featured Marist, which finished with a 29-6 overall record as the Mid-American Conference champions last year. Marist knocked off Ohio State in the opening round and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 before falling to eventual national champion Tennessee. After losing to Marist, the Huskers fell to 2006 NCAA Elite Eight qualifier Utah, which advanced to the 2007 Postseason WNIT. After their trip to Hawaii, the Huskers returned home for a three-game home stand that began with a win over in-state rival Creighton (Nov. 30), before defeating Northeast Conference champion and NCAA Tournament qualifier Robert Morris, The Colonials finished with a 24-8 record a year ago before losing to NC State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers closed the stand by running to an win over traditional Pac-10 power USC. Nebraska enjoyed a successful trip to California with wins over Cal State Bakersfield and Long Beach State, before facing one of the toughest tests of the non-conference season at Ohio State on Dec. 22 in Columbus, Ohio. The No. 18 Buckeyes captured the Big Ten title in 2007 and finished the year with a 28-4 record as the No. 12 RPI club in the country. After closing the non-conference season with a pair of home games against Denver (Dec. 30), which won 20 games last year, and Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Jan. 2), the Huskers opened Big 12 play with a pair of home wins against No. 15 Texas (56-45, Jan. 9) and Kansas (71-51, Jan. 12), with the game against KU coming in an FSN national telecast. Nebraska dives into the thick of conference road action by traveling to defending Big 12 champion and 2007 Sweet 16 qualifier Oklahoma (Jan. 16), before facing Iowa State in Ames. The Cyclones tied for fourth in the league standings with the Huskers last year and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers then return home to face defending Big 12 regular-season co-champion Texas A&M at the Devaney Center (Jan. 23), before traveling to Waco, Texas to take on Baylor (Jan. 26). That four-game stretch will pit the Huskers against the top four teams in the 2007 Big 12 final standings. NU will then turn its attention to the Big 12 North Division, playing three straight games against intradivision foes, starting with a home game against Kansas State (Jan. 30) and ending with a nationally televised road contest at Missouri (Feb. 3) and Colorado (Feb. 6). A Sunday afternoon home battle with 2007 NCAA qualifier Oklahoma State (Feb. 10) precedes the Huskers lone bye week of the season, before NU heads down the stretch in conference play at Kansas (Feb. 17).

The 2008 NCAA Women s Final Four will be held at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Fla., April 6-8. Yori Leading impressive Growth in Nebraska Program Entering her sixth season at Nebraska, Coach Connie Yori has the Huskers in the middle of an impressive growth stage after a major rebuilding project in Yori arrived in Lincoln on June 24, 2002, and was left with only a handful of healthy scholarship players and three consecutive losing seasons behind the existing players. After a challenging first season, Yori guided the Huskers to one of the nation s top turnarounds in Nebraska finished the season with an record and the Huskers 10-game improvement tied for the ninthbest swing in NCAA Division I women s basketball in More impressively, NU s final record came against a powerful schedule that included 19 games against teams that advanced to postseason play. The Huskers raced to a 10-1 non-conference record that included victories over No. 13 Ohio State and eventual WNIT champion Creighton, before notching one of the biggest wins in school history with an victory over No. 9 Kansas State in league play. The Huskers finished with a 7-9 record in the Big 12 to finish in a tie for seventh place. NU may have been a two-point loss to Missouri or three-point loss to No. 13 Colorado away from earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since The Huskers made their first postseason appearance since 2000 and played host to a postseason tournament game for the first time since Nebraska notched just the second home postseason victory in school history with a first-round WNIT win over Drake, before hosting just the third postseason game in school history in the second round against Oregon State. Nebraska continued the momentum in by replacing four senior starters from and finishing with an overall mark and its second straight postseason bid. The Huskers 8-8 Big 12 mark was their best finish since 2000, and included the biggest victory in school history, a triple overtime win over eventual national champion and then-no. 2 Baylor on Jan. 12, The Huskers also won their first Big 12 Tournament game since the 2000 campaign and continued their climb in the classroom as well. NU posted a team GPA of better than 3.0 during the spring 2005 semester, as 10 Huskers earned spots on the Big 12 Commissioner s Academic Honor. Nebraska kept building in by winning two postseason games for the first time in school history. NU s record also marked the Huskers most victories since the campaign. The Huskers finished with an 8-8 league mark and won a game in the Big 12 Championship for the second consecutive season. Perhaps most impressively, the Huskers went 5-0 in regular-season rematches with Big 12 North Division opponents and completed the first three-game sweep of Colorado in school history. Overall, Nebraska posted a 7-3 regular-season mark against Big 12 North foes. The Huskers produced a three-game improvement in the win column in with a record and the first 20-win campaign at Nebraska since NU also secured a first-round bye in the Big 12 Tournament for just the second time in school history by finishing with a 10-6 league mark. NU went on to claim the schools first NCAA Tournament since The 2002 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year, Yori led Creighton to a 24-7 overall mark and a 16-2 MVC record in to capture the league s regular-season and tournament titles. Yori s success at CU in capped a career mark at Creighton. Her teams made two trips to the NCAA Tournament in 1994 and Before taking over the top job with the Bluejays, Yori led NCAA Division III Loras College to a record in two seasons from 1990 to She also served as an assistant coach at Creighton from 1986 to Yori was one of the top players in Creighton history, and she still owns the school record for career scoring average at 20.3 points per game. She ranks as CU s No. 3 all-time leading scorer with 2,010 points, and she had her No. 25 jersey retired.
