I saw it was close late, looked for it but didn't find a channel that had it on. Probably should have checked ESPN+. I don't have BTN+. 3 OT's, a classic.

Nebraska Public Media (over-the-air channel 26.1) had the game. I think they had the Wyoming game last weekend, too. To stream it, I think it was on BTN+ but only if you're a subscriber.

Amy Williams daughter also signed to play for Nebraska today too. Sounds like Amy has never coached her before (but has been coached by her Dad). She's going to be a dual sport athlete, also playing softball.

Jaz Shelley was 1 of 50 players named to the Wooden Watch list. She is also 1 of 20 shooting guards nationally in the hunt for the Ann Meyers-Drysdale Award, was a preseason first-team All-Big Ten selection, and was also a first-team All-Big Ten guard last season.

Unfortunately, she was injured early last night and ended the night in boot.

[Doctor Fate]

Tough loss. Jaz Shelley played hurt and came off the bench. 2-11 in 33 minutes, including 1-8 from three. If she were healthy, I think Nebraska would be 4-0 right now.

5 star future Husker Britt Prince dropped a career high 42 tonight, including 30 in the 1st half.

Jaz Shelley had a triple-double last night against UNC Wilmington (19-10-11). Alexis Markowski had 18-12. Nebraska was up 62-12 at halftime.
