Nebraska has sold more than 4,200 all-session tickets for the NCAA Lincoln Regional (March 29-31). Nebraska recognized 2013 All-American Lindsey Moore during the Oral Roberts game (Dec. 29) for her part in helping the Minnesota Lynx to the 2013 WNBA title. The first-round pick in the WNBA Draft returned to Lincoln from her professional team in Italy to receive a minute-long standing ovation. Nebraska retired 2010 All-American Kelsey Griffin s jersey at the Michigan game (Jan. 29). The 2010 Senior CLASS Award winner and Nebraska Female Student-Athlete of the Year had her number raised at Pinnacle Bank Arena, but not permanently retired. Current Husker Emily Cady shares Griffin s No. 23. Griffin, a four-year WNBA veteran, made a return trip to Lincoln from her club team in Australia. The Huskers have advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 twice in the last four seasons (2010, 2013). NU has earned NCAA Tournament trips in five of the past seven seasons (2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013). Coach Connie Yori is the winningest coach in Husker history (235 victories) and has won conference coach-of-the-year honors in the Big Ten (2013), Big 12 (2012) and Missouri Valley (2002). She was the national coach-of-the-year in Scouting the Penn State Lady Lions Coquese Washington brings Penn State to Lincoln on top of the Big Ten standings with a 12-2 record. The Lady Lions can clinch at least a share of the Big Ten title with a win over the Huskers on Monday. PSU is led by an experienced backcourt that features three senior starters, including 2013 Big Ten Player of the Year Maggie Lucas. The 5-10 guard ranks second in the Big Ten with 21.8 points per game, while leading the nation with her 96.3 free throw percentage. A tremendous long-range shooter, Lucas leads Penn State with 60 three-pointers and 352 in her career. She needs five more to match the Penn State and Big Ten record of 357 held by Kelly Mazzante ( ). Last season, Lucas locked up her conference player-of-the-year award with a 34-point effort and a building record eight threes in the final game in the history of the Devaney Center. Dara Taylor adds more experience, steadiness, explosiveness and chemistry in the Penn State backcourt. A high school club teammate of Lucas, the 5-8 point guard is averaging 11.7 points, 4.8 assists and 2.9 steals per game. A strong candidate for Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Taylor not only dictates for the Lady Lions on offense, but applies controlling pressure on the ball while hawking the passing lanes on the defensive end. Ariel Edwards, a 6-3 senior swing player, gives Penn State a long, athletic presence on the wing. Edwards ranks second on the team with 14.3 points while also ranking second on the squad with 6.0 rebounds per game. She also ranks second on the team with 2.5 assists per contest. Inside, senior Talia East helps give Penn State one of the Big Ten s most experienced starting fives. East, a 6-3 forward/center averages 7.7 points and a team-best 7.3 rebounds while leading the Lady Lions with tying fellow post Tori Waldner for the team lead with 35 blocked shots. Waldner, a 6-5 forward/center, provides PSU with formidable size while adding 5.3 points and 5.8 boards per contest. Penn State also possesses one of the biggest and deepest benches in the Big Ten. Kaliyah Mitchell, a 6-2 freshman swing player, averages 4.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Sophomore Candice Agee adds tremendous size at 6-6, while contributing 3.4 points and 2.7 boards. Freshmen Peyton Whitted (2.9 ppg, 2.9 rpg) and Alex Harris (2.2 ppg, 3.7 rpg) both 6-3 forwards, give PSU even more size and versatility. Keke Sevillian (1.7 ppg, 0.6 rpg) and Jenny DeGraaf (1.2 ppg, 0.5 rpg) add depth to the backcourt when Penn State can extend their rotation. The Lady Lions average 75.7, while surrendering 64.9 points per game. Not only does PSU own a plus scoring margin, but an impressive plus-7.3 team rebound margin. Penn State shoots 41.7 percent from the field, while holding opponents to 35.9 percent from the field. PSU is also the least-reliant team in the Big Ten on the three-point shot, making just 3.5 per game while hitting just 31.3 percent. But the Lady Lions hold the opposition to 29.4 percent shooting from long range. PSU has also dominated at the foul line, scoring nearly 500 points at the stripe this season.
