Nebraska vs Creighton Women's Basketball

Tim, Tony and I went to the Nebraska-Creighton girls basketball game this morning at the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln. We had to park under the "0" street viaduct so it was a pretty long walk to the Arena but well worth it. I had a reserved ticket thanks to one of the Seward "Old Guys" so I sat with the 3 that were able to go. Tim and Tony got tickets across the court. The new Arena is really a great place. Emily Cady scored 14 points and Jordan Hooper added 15 rebounds as No. 19 Nebraska downed Creighton 63-38. The Huskers led at the half by eight points (35-27) and went on a 10-0 run after the break to stretch the lead to 18. Creighton did not score for the first six minutes of the second half, missing 12 attempts until Sammy Jensen made a 3-pointer. Hailie Sample scored 13 points for Nebraska (8-2) and Brandi Jeffery came off the bench to shoot a perfect 4-4 from the floor and made both her free throws for a total of 11 points.  Alyssa Kamphaus a former Seward HS started for Creighton so with Emil Cady and Hanna Tvrdy playing on the Nebraska team, we enjoyed seeing 3 of the girls play that we cheered to State Championships when they were here in High School. We stopped at "Buzzard Billy's" on the way back to the car to eat and give this old guy a walking break.
