UConn head coach Geno Auriemma entered the record books, but South Carolina maintained their perfect record. Caitlin Clark did not yet set the all-time scoring record, as Iowa fell to Nebraska. All things Huskies, Gamecocks, Huskers, Hawkeyes and more from Monday, Feb. 5 to Sunday, Feb. 11.
No. 2 falls…again!
Nebraska made sure that the energy and excitement for Sunday afternoon’s game against No. 2 Iowa would be unleashed for the Huskers, not the Hawkeyes and Caitlin Clark.
The Cornhuskers overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit—holding the Hawkeyes to 10 points and Clark scoreless in the final frame—to earn the upset, 82-79. Grad guard Jaz Shelley was fantastic for the Huskers, going 5-for-10 from 3 as she scored a team-high 23 points. She also converted clutch free throws down the stretch. Alexis Markowski added a double-double of 15 points and 11 boards. Freshman guard Logan Nissley also brought juice from off the bench, with three 3s, 15 points and seven rebounds.
For Iowa, Clark finished with 31 points, leaving her eight points shy from the all-time scoring mark. Iowa hosts Michigan on Thursday. Our Zachary Draves will be in attendance, ready to document a (very likely) historic night.
