Story by NU Athletic Communication

Champaign, Ill.&nbsp;- Nebraska led 31-30 at halftime, but home-standing Illinois took control in the third quarter and held on for a 77-68 win over the Husker women's basketball team on Sunday afternoon at the State Farm Center.

Nebraska slipped to 17-9 overall and 8-7 in the Big Ten, while Illinois notched its eighth consecutive victory to improve to 21-5 overall and 11-4 in the conference.

Alexis Markowski tied her career high with 28 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter to help the Huskers stay within three points of the Illini at 63-60 with three minutes left in the game. Markowski had 17 in the second half, including NU's first nine points in the opening 2:30 of the fourth quarter.&nbsp;

Illinois answered with a huge second half from Adalia McKenzie, who had 17 of her team-high 23 points after halftime including a three-point play with 2:35 left to put Illinois back up by six. Another three-point play for McKenzie just over a minute later extended the Illini lead to nine points at 71-62. McKenzie added eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals on the day.

The Huskers refused to quit but could not overcome the execution and free throw shooting of the Illini down the stretch.

Nine different Huskers scored in the game, but Markowski was the only player in double figures for Nebraska. The 6-3 center also grabbed eight rebounds in a strong performance. Britt Prince added nine points and matched her career high for the second straight game with eight assists, but she was injured in the closing minutes when she landed on McKenzie's foot on a late three-point attempt.

Alberte Rimdal managed seven points off the bench, while Jessica Petrie contributed five points and a team-high nine rebounds. Logan Nissley and Kendall Coley both contributed five points, while Amiah Hargrove added four points and six rebounds off the bench.

Kendall Bostic helped Illinois to victory with 19 points and 11 rebounds for her 51st career double-double, while Berry Wallace added 15 big points off the bench in place of injured starter Jasmine Brown-Hagger who left the game late in the first quarter with a leg injury.

Genesis Bryant managed 12 points and four assists while helping Illinois seal the win at the line down the stretch.

For the game, Nebraska hit 25-of-63 shots from field (.397), including 6-of-18 three-pointers (.333), but Illinois held the Huskers down from long range in the second half, as Rimdal hit NU's only shot from beyond the arc with 16 seconds left. The Huskers were 12-for-16 at the free throw line and won the rebounding battle, 40-38, but Illinois took the turnover margin 10-7.

Illinois hit 28-of-62 shots (.452), including 6-of-17 threes, while going 15-of-22 at the free throw line.

In a back and forth first half, Nebraska fought to a 31-30 halftime lead thanks to a late three-pointer from Coley.&nbsp; It was NU's fifth three-pointer of the half and it capped a 5-0 run to end the period after Illinois had matched its biggest lead of the half at 30-26 with a 10-0 run.

The Huskers, who led 16-13 at the end of the first quarter, claimed their biggest margin of the half at 26-20 after a three-pointer from Nissley with 5:14 left in the half, before NU went more than four minutes without scoring during the Illini run.

Markowski led the Huskers in the first half with 11 points and seven rebounds, while Nissley and Prince each added five first-half points. Wallace led the Illini with 10 points off the bench, including a pair of three-pointers. Bostic added seven points for Illinois but missed much of the second quarter with foul trouble.

Nebraska hit just 11-of-31 shots from the field, but connected on 5-of-11 threes and all four of its free throws with all four coming from Markowski. The Huskers held Illinois to 11-for-32 shooting, including 4-of-11 threes, while Illinois hit 4-of-6 free throws. The Big Red out-rebounded Illinois, 21-20, but lost the first-half turnover battle, 6-3.

The Huskers return to Pinnacle Bank Arena for their final home stand of the season beginning with Oregon on Wednesday night. Tip-off between Nebraska and the Ducks in their first-ever trip to Lincoln is set for 7 p.m. with tickets available now at Huskers.com. A live video stream of the game will be available to B1G+ subscribers, while live audio coverage will be provided by the Huskers Radio Network, including Huskers.com.

Swansen Carries Huskers on Emotional Night

Story by NPCC Athletic Communications

North Platte, Neb. – North Platte stretches win streak to eight games with a 74-51 win over Central Community College on Saturday.

Neveah Golden led the Knights with 21 points for her tenth double digit performance of the season. Jada Thompson followed with 11 points, while Dezirae Gonzales and Madison Cheleen chipped in nine points apiece.

"What an amazing turnout, there was so much energy in the gym this afternoon," said head coach Jeff Thurman. “We are extremely grateful for the kids and community support.”

A baseline jumper by Kateria Gooden helped North Platte jump out to a 12-4 lead. A quiet 6-1 rally cut the margin to three inside the final three minutes, but the Knights closed the quarter on an 8-2 run to stretch their lead to 21-12.

The margin drifted to 25-14 in the opening two minutes of the second quarter. Knights continued to hold a double-digit lead as the margin was pushed to 38-21 on a layup by Nariah Golden. Central answered by scoring five straight points but still faced a 12-point halftime deficit.

I’m proud of our effort on the defensive end," said Thurman. “We fought through some early foul trouble and got some good minutes from our bench.”

Strong defensive limited the Raiders to just nine points in the third quarter. North Platte would not slow down scoring 19 in the frame as they widen their advantage to 55-35.&nbsp;

The black and gold had a shooting battle in the fourth quarter but managed to outscore the Raiders 17-16 to remain unbeaten in Region IX play.

Knights (18-10, 4-0 Region IX) will host Northeastern Junior College on Friday. Tip is scheduled for 5 p.m. inside McDonald-Belton Gymnasium.

<a>The following statement is from the family of Greg Sharpe, Huskers Radio Network’s Nebraska play-by-play voice for football and baseball since 2008: &nbsp;</a>

Today we are saddened to inform you of the passing of Greg on Friday. A wonderful husband, father, brother, friend and of course broadcaster. While his passion and energy on the call of Husker football and baseball brought joy to so many for the past 17 seasons, it comforts us to know that his legacy will live on through these same moments that he narrated and through the relationships that he built.

While the public knew him for his booming voice and infectious personality, those closest to him knew him for his loyalty and dedication to them.

Over the last 12 months Greg has fought a very public battle with pancreatic cancer. Even though it was a grim diagnosis at the time, Greg chose to live and not to fear. He leaned into his faith, family and of course his professional calling of broadcasting Husker athletics. Without the support from the University of Nebraska, Playfly Sports and of course the best fans in college athletics, Husker Nation, he may not have been able to continue to fight and live the way that he did.

The love shown to him during this difficult time truly touched Greg and our family. We are forever grateful to Husker fans everywhere for the letters, gifts and of course prayers.

We are all better for having had Greg in our lives.

Nebraska Director of Athletics Troy Dannen provided the following statement on Sharpe’s passing:

“On behalf of everyone in the Nebraska Athletic Department, I would like to share our deepest condolences with the family of Greg Sharpe. This is a tough day for everyone. Not only those who were close to Greg and those who had the opportunity to work with him, but also for Husker fans who have fond memories of Greg’s calls of iconic moments in Nebraska history.

“Greg was an incredible person and was a friend to everyone. Simply put, he defined what it meant to be a Husker, and he will always be a Husker.”

Sharpe, 61, first served as Nebraska football’s play-by-play voice for the final three games of the 2007 season, then took over in a permanent role beginning with the 2008 season. Sharpe handled the football duties for the next 17 seasons, while also leading the Husker baseball broadcast team since the 2008 season. Sharpe was recently honored as the 2024 Nebraska Sportscaster of the Year, the second time he has won the prestigious honor. &nbsp;

Sharpe and his wife, Amy, are the parents of three daughters, Emily, Campbell and Taylor. &nbsp;

Details on arrangements will be forthcoming. &nbsp;
