The No. 16 Nebraska women’s basketball team makes its first road trip of the 2014-15 season, when the Huskers head to Pullman to battle Washington State on Wednesday night. Tip-off between the Huskers (2-0) and the Cougars (2-0) at Friel Court at Beasley Coliseum is set for 10 p.m. (central).

Greg Heister and Mary Murphy will be on the television call of the game for the Pac-12 Networks, while Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch will call the action on the Husker Sports Radio Network. The game can be heard live in Lincoln on B107.3 FM in Lincoln and 93.3 FM in Omaha. Free live audio is available on Huskers.com.

Both teams enter the mid-week clash after building early season momentum with impressive weekend wins. Nebraska rolled to a 100-65 win over Pepperdine in its season opener on Saturday

, scoring 100 points for the first time since beating Washington State, 107-54, on Nov. 22, 2009. The Big Red closed a successful weekend with an 83-49 run past Alcorn State on Sunday at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Washington State’s opening weekend was at least as impressive. The Cougars ran to a 76-60 win over No. 22 Dayton on Friday in Pullman, before sprinting to an 84-34 win over neighboring Idaho State back at Beasley Coliseum on Sunday. The Cougars caught the nation’s attention with Friday’s win over the Flyers, earning votes in this week’s Associated Press Poll.

The Cougars didn’t need a top-25 win to have Nebraska’s full attention. Last season, WSU upended the Huskers, 76-72 in Lincoln on Nov. 30. Guards Tia Presley and Lia Galdeira combined for 31 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in the win. Last season, those two dynamic guards combined to average 37.5 points and 9.2 boards per game to lead Washington State to the WNIT. The duo helped WSU to a 17-17 overall record and a 9-9 Pac-12 finish. They have continued to grow under Coach June Daugherty, combining to average 46.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game on opening weekend.

Huskers Begin Three-Game Pac-12 Swing with Cougars
Nebraska’s Wednesday night trek to Pullman, Wash., opens a three-game stretch of facing Pac-12 Conference foes. Following the game at Washington State, the Huskers return home to take on Utah at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on Sunday, Nov. 23, at 1 p.m. Last season, NU knocked off the Utes in Salt Lake City.

The three-game Pac-12 stretch concludes on the Friday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 28) when the Big Red battle the UCLA Bruins at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. Tip-off between the Huskers and Bruins is set for 3 p.m. with television coverage again provided by the Pac-12 Networks. Last season, the Huskers raced to a 77-49 win over UCLA in the first-ever regular-season basketball game (men’s or women’s) at Nebraska’s Pinnacle Bank Arena. NU ended its 2013-14 season at Pauley Pavilion, falling 80-76 to BYU in the second round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament.

NU to Honor 1988 Big Eight Champs vs. Utah at Devaney
Nebraska will honor the members of its 1988 Big Eight regular-season championship women’s basketball team when the Huskers return to the Bob Devaney Sports Center to face Utah on Sunday, Nov. 23 at 1 p.m. The game will mark the Huskers’ first game at the Devaney Center since moving into their new homecourt at Pinnacle Bank Arena for the start of the 2013-14 season. Nebraska played every home game inside the Devaney Center from 1976-77 through 2012-13, winning nearly 75 percent (388-130) of its games.

The 1988 team established the early standard for success at Nebraska, running to a 22-7 record that included an 11-3 Big Eight mark under second-year coach Angela Beck. Ten of those former Huskers are expected to return to the Devaney Center Sunday.

Maurtice Ivy, the 1988 Big Eight Player of the Year and NU’s first 2,000-point scorer, headlines the group, along with Husker great Amy Stephens. A current Husker assistant, Stephens scored 1,976 points in her four-year career. CoSIDA Academic All-Americans Stephanie Bolli and Ann Halsne, who also starred in softball for the Huskers, are expected to return along with Kim Harris, Sabrina Brooks, Amy Kramer Bullock, Pam Fiene Dubas, Melissa Sanford and Deb Hoffman. Long-time NU assistant coach and administrator Theresa Becker is also expected to attend, while Coach Angela Beck will have a special video message.

In addition to on-court recognition and HuskerVision presentations, NU will honor the Big Eight champions by donning throwback 1987-88 replica uniforms – with some added length to the shorts.
Nebraska’s white 1987-88 uniforms featured a script “Nebraska” across the jersey, with the outline of the state of Nebraska on the outside of the shorts that included a script “Huskers” and a star on Lincoln inside the state. The 1988 Huskers went a perfect 16-0 at home in their whites.

Tickets for the Utah game at the Devaney Center were not included in NU’s season-ticket package, but are available for single-game purchase at a special price of just $7 for reserved seats at Huskers.com or by calling 800-8-BIG-RED. Tickets will also be available at the Devaney Center Sunday starting at 11 a.m.

The Devaney Center was renovated and reconfigured for volleyball prior to 2013-14, reducing capacity to 7,907. The game between the Huskers and Utes will be the first college basketball game at Devaney since the renovations, but Devaney did play host to 2014 boys and girls state high school tournaments.

Huskers Have History of Home-Opening Success
Nebraska owns a history of season-opening success on the Huskers’ homecourt. Nebraska improved to 39-2 all-time in home openers, including 2-0 at Pinnacle Bank Arena, with its 100-65 victory over Pepperdine on Nov. 15, 2014. The Huskers were 35-2 all-time in season openers at the Devaney Center.

From 1981-82 through 2004-05, Nebraska won 24 straight home openers before losing to South Dakota State on Nov. 19, 2005. NU’s only other home-opening loss came to Kansas (88-56) on Nov. 21, 1980.

Nebraska has been strong in its first six home games every season. In fact, NU is 207-34 over the past 41 years in its first six home contests (.859 winning percentage), including 35-6 in the second game of the season. The Huskers stretched their Game No. 2 winning streak to 15 games with an 83-49 win over Alcorn State on Nov. 16, 2014.

Game No. 3 has traditionally provided the toughest test among the first six home contests for the Huskers, but NU has won seven straight in Game No. 3 after a 78-55 run past Arkansas-Pine Bluff in Lincoln on Nov. 21, 2013. NU improved to 34-6 all-time in game No. 4 with an 87-64 win over Southern on Nov. 24, 2013. The Big Red improved to 35-5 all-time in home Game No. 5 with a 77-42 win over UMass-Lowell on Nov. 27, 2013. The Huskers had their 16-game winning streak in home game No. 6 snapped by Washington State, 76-72, on Nov. 30, 2013.

Scouting the Washington State Cougars
Coach June Daugherty brings her Washington State team into Wednesday night’s game on the rise. The Cougars, who went 17-17 overall and 9-9 in the Pac-12 to finish seventh in the conference standings last season, are receiving votes in this week’s Associated Press Poll after a pair of impressive weekend wins.

The Cougars, who earned a trip to the 2014 Postseason WNIT, knocked off No. 22 Dayton, 76-60, in Friday’s opener in Pullman. Junior guard Lia Galdeira led the Cougars with 21 points, despite going just 5-for-17 from the field and 2-of-8 from three-point range against the Flyers. She did hit 9-of-10 free throws, while notching eight rebounds, three assists and three steals.

Senior guard Tia Presley added 18 points and a team-high four steals, but went just 4-of-12 and 2-of-7 from beyond the arc. She hit 8-of-12 free throws.

Taylor Edmondson had nine points off the bench, while Pinelopi Pavlopoulou pitched in eight points and six rebounds in just 12 minutes to help the Cougars overcome 31.5 percent shooting from the field as a team.

In Sunday’s rout of Idaho State, Presley caught fire with a game-high 29 points on 11-of-16 shooting, including 6-of-10 threes. Galdeira added 24 points, seven rebounds and five steals, while going 10-of-13 from the field and 2-of-4 from beyond the arc.

While Washington State’s star guards have combined for 92 points in two games, the rest of the Cougar starting five has teamed to score just 29 points.

Presley, a 5-10 senior, is averaging 23.5 points, while the 5-11 Galdeira has added 22.5 points and team-bests of 7.5 rebounds and 4.0 steals through two games.

Mariah Cooks, a 6-1 junior forward, has pitched in 6.0 points and 3.5 rebounds, while 6-4 senior center Shalie Dheensaw has contributed 5.5 points and 7.0 rebounds.

Dawnyelle Awa, a 5-9 junior guard, rounds out the starting five averaging just 3.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. However, Awa was a major player in last year’s win over the Huskers. Awa scored 13 points, including a pair of three-pointers, while adding five assists to spread out the Huskers.

Edmondson, who is WSU’s top player off the bench, has pitched in 5.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals this season. The 5-11 junior guard pumped in 13 points with three threes against the Big Red last season. With Edmondson leading the way, WSU’s bench outscored the Nebraska reserves, 21-4.

As a team, WSU knocked down 12-of-25 threes while going 12-of-16 from the free throw line. The Huskers went just 4-of-18 from long range, but outrebounded WSU, 48-38, on the glass. Nebraska trailed by seven at halftime and by as many as 19 points in the second half before rallying to cut WSU’s lead to 66-65. Washington State’s win was the first ever by an opponent at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

All-American Jordan Hooper led the Huskers with 24 points and 14 rebounds, but she hit just 6-of-27 shots from the field, including just 2-of-8 threes. Emily Cady added a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds, while Hailie Sample added 11 points. Rachel Theriot and Tear’a Laudermill each pitched in 10 as all five NU starters produced double figures.

Nebraska vs. Washington State History
Nebraska owns a 4-1 lead in the all-time series with Washington State, but the Cougars came away with a win last season. NU won the first meeting in the series with a 64-56 victory on Dec. 4, 2003, in Pullman, Wash. The Big Red added a 78-61 win at the Devaney Center in Lincoln on Nov. 22, 2004. Five years to the day later, NU rolled to a 107-54 win back at the Devaney Center. The Huskers escaped from Friel Court with an 87-79 win over Nov. 22, 2010, before the Cougars picked up a 76-72 win last season at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.

• No player in Husker history has 1,000 points, 900 rebounds, 200 assists, 100 steals and 100 blocks.

• The best passing forward in the Big Ten, Cady’s 102 assists led all conference forwards in 2013-14. Her 1.5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio also led all players in the conference at the position. In Big Ten play, her 2.0 assist-to-turnover ratio was better than every starting guard except first-team All-Big Ten point guards Rachel Theriot (Nebraska) and Samantha Logic (Iowa).

#33, Rachel Theriot, 6-0, Jr., G, Middleburg Heights, Ohio (17.0 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 4.0 apg)
• Rachel Theriot claimed preseason All-Big Ten honors in 2014-15 from both the conference coaches and media. Theriot was chosen the No. 13 player in the nation by ESPN in rankings announced on Nov. 5. She was named a fourth-team All-American (one of nation’s top 20 players) by College Sports Madness in preseason rankings.

• Theriot averaged 17.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in Nebraska’s season-opening wins over Pepperdine and Alcorn State. She hit 14-of-18 field goals (.778), including both of her threes and all four of her free throws. She also had an 8-to-3 assist-to-turnover ratio.

• Theriot earned honorable-mention All-America accolades from the Associated Press as a sophomore. She joined Jordan Hooper (2nd Team) on the AP All-America squad, marking the second straight season the Huskers had produced a pair of All-Americans (Hooper, Lindsey Moore, HM, 2013).

• Theriot earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after ranking second among the Huskers with 15.6 points per game in conference play.

Overall, Theriot finished her sophomore season with 14.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.

• Theriot ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten and fifth nationally with 7.1 assists per game, including 7.3 assists per game in Big Ten play. She led the Big Ten in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.7-to-1) and ranked 17th nationally.

• Theriot finished with a Nebraska single-season record 234 assists in 2013-14, smashing the previous mark of 195 set by Meggan Yedsena (1991-92) and matched by Lindsey Moore (2012-13).
• Theriot’s 343 career assists rank eighth in Husker history. She needs 49 assists to catch Anna DeForge in seventh (392) on the career chart and 101 assists to join Nebraska’s career top five.

• Theriot produced four points-assists double-doubles in 2013-14, including 10 points and 12 assists in the Big Red’s first-round NCAA Tournament win over Fresno State. Her 12 assists were the most by a Husker in history in an NCAA Tournament game. It was the fifth time in 2013-14 she dished out 11 or more assists in a game. No other Husker has distributed 11 or more assists more than four times in a career.

• Theriot led Nebraska to its first conference tournament title as the Big Ten Tournament MVP. She averaged 18.7 points and a tournament-record 10.0 assists per game, with 30 total assists and just seven turnovers. She hit 56.4 percent of her shots, including 5-of-10 threes, and went 7-for-8 at the line.

• Theriot’s 30 assists in the Big Ten Tournament were a Nebraska single-season conference tournament record. She produced arguably the best passing game in Big Ten history in Nebraska’s Big Ten quarterfinal win over Minnesota March 7, dishing out a tournament-record-shattering 18 assists against just one turnover. The previous tournament record was 12 set by Helen Darling of Penn State against Illinois in 2000. The most assists by a Big Ten player against a Big Ten opponent came with 16 from Maggie Acuna of Illinois against Wisconsin in 2006.

• Theriot’s 18 assists were the second-most in a game in Nebraska history, trailing only 19 assists by Kathy Hawkins on Feb. 17, 1976 against Kearney State (now Nebraska-Kearney). Theriot’s assists are the most ever by a Husker against an NCAA Division I opponent, and the most in the last 37 seasons, covering nearly 1,200 games. Theriot’s 18 assists were the most in an NCAA Division I game in 2013-14.

• Over the final 15 games of 2013-14, Theriot produced six double-digit assist games. In the first 1,203 games in Nebraska history, every other Husker had combined to produce just 41 double-digit assist games.

• Theriot shot 50 percent from the field and 50 percent (25-50) from three-point range in Big Ten play as a sophomore. Her three-point shooting percentage led the Big Ten.

• Theriot finished with 25 double-figure scoring efforts in 2013-14. She now owns 32 in her career. She had a career-high 33 points in an overtime win over Minnesota (Jan. 16). She had 28 points at Utah (Nov. 15), when she added seven rebounds. She posted all six 20-point scoring games of her career in 2013-14.

• In Big Ten play, Theriot led the league with 39.5 minutes per game and her 1,204 minutes were the most played by a Husker in a season in school history, surpassing Lindsey Moore’s 1,170 in 34 games in 2012-13. Theriot went the distance 13 times in 33 games in 2013-14, including the full 45 minutes in both of NU’s overtime wins over Minnesota (Jan. 16) and Wisconsin (Feb. 5).

#1, Tear’a Laudermill, 5-9, Sr., G, Moreno Valley, Calif. (13.0 ppg, 1.0 rpg, 1.5 apg)
• Tear’a Laudermill emerged as a rising star for the Huskers to earn second-team All-Big Ten honors as a junior. She finished the season with career-best averages of 11.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game, while her 62 three-pointers ranked as the 10th-best season total in NU history.

• She averaged 13.0 points in just 17.0 minutes per game in Nebraska’s season-opening wins over Pepperdine and Alcorn State. She hit 10-of-19 field goals (.526) and 4-of-8 threes.

• Laudermill has produced double digits in 15 of her last 19 games, after managing double figures in just 11 of her first 77. She owns 26 career double-figure scoring games.

• Laudermill averaged 15.2 points per game over the last 17 contests of 2013-14, including the first five 20-point games of her career. She closed the season with 22 points against BYU, including 12 points in the final 2:30. She added 20 points in NU’s Big Ten semifinal win over No. 19 Michigan State and a career-high 27 points in the Big Red’s home win over No. 8 Penn State on Feb. 24.

• Laudermill tied a school record with seven threes in Nebraska’s 94-74 win over No. 8 Penn State Feb. 24, 2014. She hit her first six threes in the first half and closed the night 7-of-10 to lead Nebraska to one of the best three-point shooting nights (16-22, .727) in school history.

• Laudermill averaged 13.5 points in 2014 Big Ten play, while shooting a sizzling 44.3 percent from three-point range, which ranked fourth in Big Ten games-only. Her 2.4 three-pointers per game also tied for fifth in league action. She led the Big Red with 21 steals in conference action.

#3, Hailie Sample, 6-0, Sr., F, Flower Mound, Texas (7.5 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 1.5 bpg)
• Hailie Sample earned a spot on the 2014 Big Ten All-Defensive Team. She was Nebraska’s Defensive MVP in 2013-14 and joined Emily Cady as the Kathy Branchaud Most Improved Rebounder Award winner for the second straight season.

• She produced her third career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds in the 2014 NCAA second-round game against BYU on March 24. It was her second career double-double in the NCAA Tournament and her second double-double in a three-game span, joining 11 points and a career-high 15 rebounds in Nebraska’s Big Ten Tournament Championship Game win over No. 23 Iowa on March 9, 2014.

• Sample averaged 7.5 points and a team-leading 10.0 rebounds in the 2014 Big Ten Tournament. Her 30 total rebounds and 16 offensive boards led the tournament.

• Sample’s 15 rebounds in the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game were a Nebraska Big Ten Tournament record and tied Nafeesah Brown (vs. Kansas, 1993, Big Eight) for the second-highest rebounding total ever by a Husker in a conference tournament game. Only Shelly Block (16 vs. Oklahoma State, 1987, Big Eight) pulled down more boards in a league tournament game than Sample.

• In the 2014 NCAA Tournament, Sample averaged 8.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game to push her season averages to 6.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. She ranked 15th overall in the Big Ten in rebounding (6.4 rpg), while ranking seventh in the Big Ten on the offensive glass (2.5 rpg).

• Jeffery erupted for career highs with 19 points and eight rebounds in the season-opening victory over Pepperdine on Nov. 15. Her previous career scoring high came with 12 points against both Florida State and Mississippi Valley State in November of 2011.

• Jeffery’s regular-season start in 2014-15, mirrored her production in a pair of exhibition wins, when she averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 4.0 steals in 24.5 minutes.
