Scouting Nebraska (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten)
The Huskers enter the intrastate battle with the Bluejays sporting an unblemished record for the second consecutive season.

Nebraska opened the season with three straight home games, besting Oral Roberts (90-61 on Dec. 4), Idaho State (64-51 on Dec. 6), then defeating Illinois (78-72 on Dec. 10) to open Big Ten action.

Nebraska has played just eight players to this point and has only 11 on its roster. The smaller rotation seems to have helped the Huskers as Nebraska enters the game with Creighton shooting 42.0% as a team. More impressive is the Huskers ability to rebound as Nebraska is averaging 50.3 boards per game.

Leading the way on the offensive end are the trio of Sam Haiby (17.7 ppg), Isabelle Bourne (14.7 ppg) and Annika Stewart (10.3 ppg).

Defensively Nebraska has equally been impressive with just under eight steals per game with 23 in three contest (7.7).

Scouting Creighton (1-3, 1-0 BIG EAST)
Creighton found their offensive rhythm in the BIG EAST Conference opener at Butler on Dec. 6, scoring 88 points in the most lopsided Bluejay win since joining the conference. Making her season debut, senior point guard Tatum Rembao finished with 10 points, one rebound and three assists. Beyond her personal stats, Rembao's presence allowed her teammates to settle into normal roles. The result was 20 assists on 30 made baskets, including 15 treys. Five Bluejays closed the game in double-figures, led by 16 points from freshman Morgan Maly.

Keys To the Game on Monday, Dec. 14

Battle of the Boards: Nebraska has collected 58, 46 and 47 rebounds in the first three games. In each
contest the Huskers have grabbed double-digit offensive rebounds.
Three-Point Shooting: Last season the Bluejays limited Nebraska to just 3-of-16 (18.8%) from long range, while connecting on 14-of-32 (43.8%) themselves.
Points in the Paint: Nebraska held a 46-10 edge in the paint last season, including 18 points from Kate Cain. This season the Huskers have score 94 of their 232 points in the paint (40.5%).

First Time Since 2018, Five Bluejays in Double Figures
Five Bluejays reached double figures, led by 16 from freshman Morgan Maly, in Creighton's 88-41 win at Butler on Dec. 6. Joining Maly was Rachael Saunders with 12 as well as 10 points from Temi Carda, Molly Mogensen and Tatum Rembao.

The last time five Bluejays reached double figures in the same game was on Feb. 2, 2018 in a 77-67 loss at DePaul. In that contest the quartet of Bluejays in double figures were Sydney Lamberty (14), Audrey Faber (13), Jaylyn Agnew (12), Temi Carda (12) and Ali Greene (12).

Win at Butler (88-41) is Bluejays' Most Lopsided Result Since 1993
The gap of 47 points in Creighton's win at Butler on Dec. 6 marked the Bluejays' largest margin of victory under head coach Jim Flanery. The last time Creighton posted a win by more than 40 points was against Marist on Nov. 15, 2015 (89-46).

The last time Creighton posted a larger margin of victory goes all the way back to Dec. 30, 1993 when the Bluejays defeated Delaware 106-44. Ironically Creighton's largest loss in BIG EAST play also involved Butler, falling 75043 to the Bulldogs on Jan. 20, 2019.
