Montgomery s first of back-to-back three-pointers midway through the second half pushed her past the 1,000-point mark. Yvonne Turner also made several key plays during NU s second-half surge, finishing with all eight of her points after halftime. The big nights for the three Husker seniors allowed Nebraska to overcome a 23-point, seven-rebound effort from UALR star Chastity Reed, who had 20 points with 15 minutes left in the game.

Game Highlights: Yvonne Turner led four Huskers in double figures with 14 points and seven rebounds, while Kelsey Griffin added her sixth double-double of the year with 13 points and 11 boards, as No. 12 Nebraska outlasted Iowa State in a defensive struggle at Hilton Coliseum. Playing in their Big 12 opener against the Cyclones, who were ranked No. 23 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Top 25, Nebraska held ISU to just 2-of-12 shooting from three-point range. The Cyclones entered the contest averaging nearly 10 threes per game. The Huskers also became the first ISU opponent to outrebound the Cyclones on the season, while snapping Iowa State s 12-game home winning streak. Nebraska s stellar defense allowed the Huskers to pick up their second win at Hilton Coliseum in the past three seasons, while extending their school-record winning streak to 14 games. Nebraska led for all but the first minute of the first half, but carried just a 29-27 halftime lead. Iowa State scored the first six points of the second half to take a 33-29 edge, before Dominique Kelley and Griffin led NU back to take a 43-37 lead on Kelley s three with 7:38 left in the game. NU took its biggest lead at 49-39 in the second half, after holding ISU to just one field goal in an 11:30 stretch.

Game Highlights: Kelsey Griffin notched her seventh doubledouble of the year and 27th of her career with game highs of 26 points and 10 rebounds to help Nebraska run past No. 19 Texas, 91-79, at the Devaney Center. The Huskers, who earlier in the day earned their first-ever top-10 national ranking by tying Baylor for ninth in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll were also ranked 11th by the AP at game time. With another big game from Griffin, and then-season-high scoring efforts from Yvonne Turner (21), Dominique Kelley (18) and Cory Montgomery (16), Nebraska stretched its school-record winning streak to 15 games. The Huskers notched their seventh game of 80 or more points on the season, while scoring 90 points against a Big 12 foe for the first time since a 90-70 win over Colorado on Feb. 27, 2007. It was Nebraska s highest point total against a Big 12 opponent since scoring 103 points in a triple-overtime win over Baylor exactly five years earlier on Jan. 12, 2005. It was NU s highest output in a regulation league game since scoring 96 at Missouri on Feb. 17, 1998. Griffin hit 8-of-11 shots from the field and 10-of-12 free throws, while setting a Nebraska record for career free throws made. She ended the night with 444, surpassing the previous Nebraska record of 440 set by Nicole Kubik from 1997 to 2000.

Game Highlights: In the first-ever meeting between two top-10 teams in NCAA Division I men s or women s basketball inside the state of Nebraska, No. 4 Nebraska jumped to a 29-5 lead and was never threatened by No. 10 Oklahoma State. The Huskers rolled to an 88-67 win to improve to 20-0 overall and 7-0 in the Big 12 by holding OSU to just one field goal in the first 9:54. The Huskers maintained the 24-point lead at the half, then pushed the lead to 36 points midway through the second half. All five NU starters produced double figures, despite playing 24 minutes or less. Kelsey Griffin had 19 points in 19 minutes, while Lindsey Moore enjoyed a career night with 11 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Yvonne Turner won a head-to-head battle with OSU All-American Andrea Riley, outscoring the nation s leading scorer, 17-15, while forcing Riley into three turnovers. Turner also climbed to No. 2 on NU s career three-point list. Cory Montgomery crossed the 1,200-point mark in her career.

Game Highlights: Nebraska used a 12-0 run in the first four minutes to jump to a 12-2 lead and never let No. 12 Texas A&M back within one possession, as the No. 4 Huskers notched a 71-60 win over the No. 12 Aggies in front of 10,889 fans at the Devaney Center. Playing in front of the third straight crowd of more than 10,000 at the Devaney Center and an FSN national television audience, Kelsey Griffin produced her 11th double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds against a physical and aggressive Aggie defense. Cory Montgomery matched her season high with 18 points, while Yvonne Turner and Dominique Kelley each contributed 11 points in solid efforts. Catheryn Redmon also supplied NU with a big lift off the bench with eight points on 4-of-4 shooting from the field, to go along with five rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal in 15 minutes against her homestate school. After A&M scored the game s first two points, Nebraska ran off 12 straight thanks to back-to-back-to-back threes from Turner and Montgomery. The Huskers then missed their next 14 three-pointers in the game, but NU s tenacious defense and strength on the boards allowed them to stay in front. Down the stretch, Griffin and Kelley played major roles, as Griffin scored eight of NU s final 10 points and blocked A&M s final shot to preserve the Huskers 18th doubledigit win of the year. Kelley added two points, a big defensive rebound and an assist. In addition to winning the turnover and rebounding battles, the Huskers outscored the Aggies, 16-1 at the free throw line, surrendering a season-low two attempts.

Game Highlights: No. 3 Nebraska rallied from a five-point deficit in the final eight minutes, using three consecutive steals in a one minute span to take the lead and pull away for a 67-60 win at Kansas. The Huskers, who extended their school-record winning streak to 22 games while becoming just the second school in Big 12 history to open league play 9-0 (also Oklahoma in 2000, 2006, 2009), produced seven of their 10 steals for the game in the final eight minutes. Nebraska s ball-hawking defense allowed them to survive torrid second-half shooting by the RPI No. 24 Jayhawks. After going just 1-for-10 from the field in the final 11 minutes to close the first half at 6-for-23, KU hit its first 11 shots from the field in the second, including its lone three-pointer of the game, to storm to the lead. Kansas opened the second half 15-of-18, but went just 3-for-8 down the stretch with seven turnovers. Lindsey Moore grabbed all three of her steals in the final eight minutes and found Yvonne Turner on a terrifc assist for a three-pointer that gave NU the lead for good with 5:38 left. Turner finished with 15 points and two steals, while Moore had four points and six assists. Kelsey Griffin added her 12th double-double of the year with 17 points, 13 rebounds and two steals despite battling first-half foul trouble. Dominique Kelley added 14 points and seven rebounds, despite hitting just 3-of-14 shots from the field.

Game Highlights: No. 3 Nebraska needed a comeback in the final minutes for the second straight Big 12 North road game, battling back from a 78-72 deficit with 3:05 left to score the game s final 10 points in an 82-78 win. The Huskers six-point deficit was their largest second-half deficit of the season, but NU s defense forced five turnovers in the final two minutes, after forcing just seven Tiger turnovers in the first 38. Yvonne Turner, who tied a season high with four steals, and Lindsey Moore, who matched her season best with three steals, did the most defensive damage in the closing minutes, forcing turnovers on MU s final five possessions. Turner and Moore also hit big free throws down the stretch to seal NU s school-record-tying 23rd win of the year, while improving to 10-0 in the Big 12. Kelsey Griffin made big plays throughout the day, finishing with her 13th double-double of the year with 28 points and 12 rebounds, while adding two assists, two blocks, two charges drawn and a steal. She hit 11-of-15 field goal attempts and 6-of-7 free throws. Turner added 19 points, including a pair of three-pointers, while Dominique Kelley also pitched in a season-high 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field and a 9-for-10 effort at the free throw line. Cory Montgomery managed just six points, but her three-pointer with 2:04 left may have been the biggest shot of the game, trimming MU s lead to just one at 78-77, before the NU defense took over.

Turnovers: Iowa State 24; Nebraska 10. Technical Fouls: None. Officials: Courteau, Kantner, Stevens. Attendance: 10,998. Game Highlights: Lindsey Moore erupted for a career high 18 points on a career-best four three-pointers to shoot No. 3 Nebraska to a 60-50 win over No. 13 Iowa State at the Devaney Center. Playing in front of 10,998 fans, Moore scored 15 points in the second half to power Nebraska to a school-record 24th win of the season. The Huskers also extended their school-record winning streak to 24 games, while tying a school record with their 11th conference win of the year. Nebraska stretched its home winning streak to 17 games, while completing a season sweep of the Cyclones. Cory Montgomery scored 11 of her 16 points in the first half to help fuel NU s 27-19 halftime lead. Montgomery scored the final seven points of the first half, and the first two of the second half to give NU its first double-digit lead of the night at 29-19. But Kelsey Bolte, who finished with 15 points, and Jessica Schroll, who added a career-high 14, pulled ISU within striking distance midway through the second half. Moore and Kelsey Griffin, who had nine points and eight rebounds in the second half alone to finish with 11 points and 11 boards, allowed NU to pull away and seal the 10-point win. The Cyclones played the Huskers tough despite being without senior point guard Alison Lacey, who missed the game after suffering a concussion in practice a day earlier. ISU hit an opponent season-high 10 threes, but Yvonne Turner s four steals inspired a Husker squad that produced a plus-14 turnover margin. Turner added eight points and became the 25th Husker in history to reach 1,000 career points.

Game Highlights: Kelsey Griffin produced her 15th doubledouble of the year, including her 10th in Big 12 play, with 25 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high six assists to lead Nebraska to an 89-73 win over Colorado. Griffin s big day, which included two steals and two blocks, led four Huskers in double figures, as NU improved to 25-0 overall while setting a school record with its 12th conference victory. NU s 12-0 Big 12 start also matched the 2009 Oklahoma squad for the second-best in league history. Cory Montgomery poured in 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while Yvonne Turner added 14 points, including four threes, to go along with five assists. Dominique Kelley pitched in 13 points and five assists as well, while Lindsey Moore, Nicole Neals and Catheryn Redmon each contributed six points. Nebraska set a season high with 25 assists on 32 made baskets, while committing just nine turnovers. NU s precision passing and 50 percent field goal shooting helped the Huskers overcome an opponent and Devaney Center record 15 threes by Colorado. The Buffs hit 15-of-27 threes, including Brittany Spears 6-for-7 shooting. Spears finished with a game-high 26 points, while Bianca Smith added 18 points, including four threes of her own. Courtney Dunn contributed 11 points on 3-of-4 three-point shooting. But CU managed just 11 field goals inside the arc, and the Huskers outscored the Buffs 16-6 at the free throw line. NU also outrebounded CU, 37-33, and produced a plus-eight turnover margin.

Trailing 63-62 with 3:30 left, Montgomery sparked an 18-1 Nebraska surge to close out the victory. Montgomery scored seven of NU s first 10 points in the run, including the basket that put the Huskers up for good. Yvonne Turner followed with a steal and was fouled on her layup, converting the threepoint play to give NU a four-point cushion. Montgomery then drained a three-pointer - her fourth of the game and third of the half - and a pair of free throws to push the Husker margin to 70-63. Griffin and Dominique Kelley combined for NU s final eight points, as Nebraska scored on 11 consecutive possessions during a three-minute stretch. The Huskers improved to 26-0 overall and 13-0 in the Big 12, while moving to 7-0 against AP Top 20 teams.

The win also gave the Huskers their first-ever Big 12 regular-season sweep of the Big 12 South, and it was the first sweep by a Big 12 North team since Iowa State accomplished the feat in 1999-2000.

Following the game, Nebraska celebrated its first-ever Big 12 regular-season title with the school-record crowd in a trophy presentation on the floor.

Moore added one of the strongest performances of her young career with 14 points, two rebounds, three assists and three steals in just 24 minutes.
