The Nebraska Cornhuskers women’s basketball team started the week as a new arrival in the Top 25. They rewarded the pollsters who put them there by roaring out to another blowout win on Tuesday night.
Britt Prince pumped in a game-high 24 points, and Amiah Hargrove added her first double-double of the season with 13 points and a game-high 10 rebounds, helping No. 25 Nebraska beat North Carolina A&T 76-35 on Tuesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Nebraska improved to 3-0, while North Carolina A&T slipped to 1-2 on the young season. Prince erupted for 14 first-quarter points, including 11 straight capped by three consecutive three-pointers to fuel Nebraska's 15-1 outburst to start the game. She finished the quarter with her fourth triple to give the Big Red a 20-6 edge after the first 10 minutes. She added two points amid a 10-0 Husker run to open the second period, pushing the margin to 30-6 with six minutes left in the half.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers closed out the 41-point win behind eight fourth-quarter points from freshman Maddi Stewart.
Nebraska Cornhuskers men’s basketball preps for another win
Fred Hoiberg and his squad were also new additions to the AP Top 25, and they’ll look to move even higher when they take on Lindenwood on Thursday night.
The Huskers are 2-0 after beating Providence at the Mohegan Sun. That win gave them the boost they needed to climb to No. 25 and start another run like Hoiberg’s squad had last year.
