Seattle - Britt Prince's three-pointer with seven seconds left lifted Nebraska to a 66-65 road win at Washington on Sunday at Alaska Airlines Arena.
Prince, a 5-11 sophomore point guard from Omaha, finished with a game-high 22 points while adding team highs of six rebounds, six assists and three steals in a tremendous all-around effort to help the Huskers snap a six-game losing streak all against NCAA NET top-25 teams.
The Huskers improved to 17-11 overall and 6-11 in the Big Ten, while NCAA NET 29 Washington slipped to 19-9 and 9-8 in the conference.
Nebraska trailed 63-57 with 4:16 left, before the Huskers answered with a 6-0 run that included back-to-back layups by Amiah Hargrove to tie the game at 63 with 1:17 left. Hargrove, a 6-2 sophomore forward from Christopher, Ill., finished with 14 points, four rebounds and two blocked shots.
Washington national player-of-the-year candidate Sayvia Sellers stopped the Husker run with a driving layup with 16.5 seconds left to give the Huskies a 65-63 lead. But after a Husker timeout to advance the ball and a foul by Sellers to help Washington diagnose the Nebraska set play, Prince dribbled Sellers into the key before stepping back for a three-pointer over Sellers with seven seconds left.
Washington called timeout to advance the ball and got three shots at the rim, but the last one fell harmlessly to the floor to set off a celebration for the Huskers.
Jessica Petrie put three Huskers in double figures with 11 points, four rebounds and two steals off the bench, while Logan Nissley contributed eight points, including a pair of three-pointers for the Big Red.
Nebraska hit 42.6 percent (26-61) of its shots for the game, including 5-of-16 threes (.313), while sinking 9-of-12 free throws, including a pair from Prince in the fourth quarter to start NU's 6-0 run. The Huskers won the turnover battle, 17-11, and outscored UW 19-6 in points off those turnovers.
The Huskers held Washington to just 39.7 percent (27-68) shooting from the field, including just 5-of-26 threes (.192). It was the first time in February that Nebraska's defense held an opponent under 50 percent from the field. UW also sank 6-of-8 free throws. The Huskies dominated the glass, 46-28, including 17 offensive rebounds. The Dawgs turned the boards into a 17-5 edge in second-chance points but it was not enough to overcome NU's 13-point edge in points off turnovers.
Sellers led Washington with 14 but committed six turnovers, including a pair in the closing minutes. Freshman post Brynn McGaughy added 14 points and nine rebounds, while Avery Howell added 13 points and 10 boards.
Sellers scored seven points in the third quarter to help turn the tide in favor of home-standing Washington, as the Huskies carried a 51-47 lead to the fourth period.
Nebraska took a 35-32 lead to halftime after building a 17-12 lead at the end of one quarter. Prince led the Big Red with 10 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals in the half, while Hargrove added eight points and two boards.
The Huskers hit 15-of-34 shots but just 2-of-8 threes in the half, while holding UW to 14-of-35 shooting, including 3-of-14 threes. NU won the first-half turnover battle, 9-5, and outscored Washington 10-2 in points off turnovers.
Nebraska, which led by nine in the first quarter, took its biggest lead of the half at 24-12 with 7:38 left in the half, before Washington started chopping away at the Husker advantage. Howell and McGaughy each scored eight points to lead the Huskies in the first half. Hannah Stines, who finished with nine points, eight rebounds and seven assists, added a strong half for UW with seven points, five rebounds and four assists.
The Huskers held Sellers to just two points with two fouls and four turnovers on 1-of-5 shooting.
Nebraska will enjoy the midweek off from competition before returning to Pinnacle Bank Arena for its final game of the regular season when the Huskers play host to Rutgers on Saturday, Feb. 28. Tip-off between the Big Red and the Scarlet Knights on Senior Day is set for 1 p.m. (CT) with tickets available now at Huskers.com. The game can be heard live across the Huskers Radio Network, including Huskers.com and the Huskers App, and a live video stream will be available to B1G+ subscribers.
