The 13th-ranked Nebraska women’s basketball team picked a bad night to impersonate their male counterparts offensively. The Huskers missed 26 of 30 shots in the first half and fell behind by as many as 27 points in a 63-52 loss to Michigan at the Devaney Center last night. Nebraska missed 17 straight shots during one fourteen minute span in the first half, allowing the Wolverines to go on a 28-5 run that gave them a 20-point lead at the break. But the Huskers showed some fight in the second half, clawing to within eight points in the final two minutes before succumbing to defeat. Lindsey Moore led the Huskers with a game-high 23 points. Jordan Hooper added 14 points and led the team with eight rebounds. The Huskers fall to 19-4 and 8-3 in the Big Ten. They play at Minnesota on Monday night.

The losing streak for the Denver Nuggets has reached five games after a 109-101 loss at home to the Golden State Warriors last night, their second home defeat in as many nights. The Nuggets trailed by just four points at halftime, but Golden State opened the third quarter on a 24-5 run to begin putting the game out of reach. The Warriors shot 52 percent from the field and from the three-point arc while holding the Nuggets to just 44 percent shooting. Arron Afflalo led the Nuggets with 26 points, a season-high for him. Ty Lawson posted a double-double, with 11 points and 10 assists. The loss is the seventh in the last eight games and fifth in the last five at home for the Nuggets, who drop to 15-12 on the season. They’re off tonight before traveling to Indiana to take on the Pacers tomorrow night.

The Nebraska men’s basketball team was run off their own home floor by 22nd-ranked Michigan last night, falling 62-46. Another anemic offensive performance led to a third straight loss for the Huskers, as they shot just 39 percent from the field. A tough first-half defensive effort kept the game close, as Nebraska trailed by just 22-15 at the halftime break, but Michigan shot 76 percent from the field in the second half and led by as many as 26 on their way to victory. Bo Spencer was the lone Husker in double figures, scoring 13 points. It’s Nebraska’s seventh home loss, their most losses in Lincoln since the 1962-63 season. Their average margin of defeat at home this year is 15 points. The Huskers fall to 11-12 and 3-9 in the Big Ten with the defeat. They visit Penn State on Saturday afternoon.

The 13th-ranked Nebraska women’s basketball team returns home for the first time in two weeks to host Michigan tonight at the Devaney Center. The Huskers haven’t played since their epic triple overtime victory over Purdue in West Lafayette last Thursday night. That victory moved the Huskers to 19-3 on the season and 8-2 in the Big Ten, which puts them in a tie with the Boilermakers atop the conference. A win tonight would give the Huskers the 13^th 20-win season in program history. The Wolverines won’t be a pushover. They’re 17-7 on the season and 6-5 in conference play, but coming off a painful two-point home loss to Michigan State on Sunday. Nebraska has never lost to Michigan in six previous meetings. Tipoff from the Devaney Center tonight is scheduled for 7:05.
