Nebraska Cornhuskers to Face Penn State Lady Lions at Bryce Jordan Center
As the Nebraska Cornhuskers prepare to face off against the Penn State Lady Lions at Bryce Jordan Center, fans are eager for insights into what could unfold on January 21st. The Cornhuskers' recent performances suggest a team that is finding its rhythm, albeit with some areas in need of sharpening.
In their last outing on December 21st against the Kansas Jayhawks, NEB struggled to find their shooting touch. They posted a field goal percentage of just 29 percent and were outrebounded by the Jayhawks. Despite these challenges, they showed tenacity in defense with nine steals and two blocks. However, this defensive effort was not enough to overcome their offensive shortcomings as they fell short with 52 points against Kansas's 69.
Contrastingly, NEB's performance on December 17th showcased their potential when firing on all cylinders. Dominating Southern University Jaguars with a convincing scoreline of 76-51 at Pinnacle Bank Arena reflected what this team can achieve. Their field goal percentage improved dramatically to 44 percent and three-point shots were falling at an impressive rate of 44 percent as well.
The most recent game data from December 9th further solidifies NEB's capabilities; they secured an away victory over Michigan State Spartans scoring an impressive total of 80 points. Their shooting was efficient from both inside and outside the arc, hitting half of their two-point attempts and maintaining a strong three-point percentage of around 44 percent.
However, it would be remiss not to consider PSU's home advantage at Bryce Jordan Center where crowd support can often inspire teams to punch above their weight class. The Lady Lions will undoubtedly look to capitalize on any lapse in concentration from NEB; thus it is imperative for Nebraska Cornhuskers' defense to remain vigilant throughout all four quarters.
Looking ahead towards January 21st’s clash, if NEB can replicate the form shown against Southern University Jaguars and Michigan State Spartans while tightening up defensively as seen in parts against Kansas Jayhawks – there is every reason for optimism among fans.
The upcoming game promises excitement and is scheduled for a tip-off at Bryce Jordan Center in University Park at precisely six o'clock in the evening local time. Fans unable or preferring not to attend can follow along through various broadcast networks yet unannounced but sure to provide comprehensive coverage of this thrilling encounter between Nebraska Cornhuskers and Penn State Lady Lions.
