Nebraska sees season end following loss to Louisville in opening round of NCAA Tournament The No. 10 seed Nebraska Cornhuskers (21-12) opened up the NCAA Tournament on Friday night against No. 7 seed Louisville (22-10). Both sides traded blows in a fierce defensive battle, making it anyone's game heading into the final minutes. In the end, the Cardinals finished on top 63-58. The Huskers led by four with four minutes left in the game, but Louisville took a one-point lead in the final minute. Nebraska held an opportunity to retake the lead, but a charging foul on the Huskers put the game away for the Cardinals. Turnovers cost the Cornhuskers the game. They made 24 in total, which led to 27 points for Louisville. This overshadowed Nebraska's performance on the evening. The team shot 23-of-52 from the floor and 8-of-20 from the three-point range. The Huskers also kept Louisville to 25-of-67 and 4-of-19, respectively, and even held them scoreless for over seven minutes at one point. Alexis Markowski led Nebraska with her school-record 53rd double-double, scoring 12 points and hauling ten rebounds. Big Ten All-Freshman Britt Prince scored 14 points in the loss and secured a team-high six assists. Fellow freshman Amiah Hargrove scored 10 points off the bench and snatched nine rebounds, almost earning her second double-double of the season. Logan Nissley racked up nine points on the night, landing a team-high 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. Nebraska finishes the year with its 20th 20-win season in school history and its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the past four seasons.
