USC Women Stall Out At South Point Shootout, Fall 67-54 To Nebraska
November 29, 2019 | Women's Basketball, Features
Angel Jackson has a career-high 13 points for the Trojans in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS, NEV. — After hanging tough with Nebraska for three quarters tonight, the USC women's basketball team went cold in the fourth and saw the Cornhuskers secure a 64-57 win over the Trojans at the South Point Shootout. USC goes to 3-3 overall with the loss, while Nebraska improves to 6-1.
The lead traded hands 10 times in the first half with the teams staying neck-and-neck until the Trojans hit a cold snap in the second quarter. After leading it 22-20 after 10 minutes of action, USC stumbled and scored just nine points in the second frame while Nebraska stayed the course and manufactured a 6-0 run to storm into the lead. A late 3-pointer by the Huskers had USC in a 39-31 hole hat halftime. Nebraska was shooting at a 51.6 percent clip to that point, while the Trojans had slumped to 34.2 percent.
USC fired off an 8-0 run to open the second half and lock even at 39-39 thanks in part to 3-pointers nailed by Endyia Rogers and Aliyah Jeune. Nebraska answered back and edged ahead by five with a 46-41 lead at 5:20, only to see the Trojans reel the Huskers back in again. A jumper from Angel Jackson knotted it at 50-50 with 2:10 to go in the third and earned the freshman the distinction of the first Trojan in double digits on the night. Jackson struck again a minute later, and USC had its first lead since the second quarter with a 52-50 advantage before Nebraska got the equalizer in the final minute to make it 52-52 entering the fourth. In that frame, USC failed to score from the floor for the entire stretch, hitting only two tosses from the stripe while Nebraska worked out ahead for a 67-54 win.
USC finished out the game going 32.8 percent from the floor while Nebraska wrapped at 46.0 percent. USC knocked down seven 3-pointers and had a season-high 13 assists, and also outrebounded Nebraska 37-34, but untimely shooting woes plagued the Trojans throughout. USC was led in scoring by freshman Angel Jackson's career-high 13 points to stand as the only Trojan in double figures. Nebraska was paced by Leigha Brown's 16 points and also received 12 points from Nicea Eliely and 10 from Kate Cain, while Ashtyn Veerbeek had 10 rebounds for the Huskers.
NOTABLES:
- FR C Angel Jackson set a new career high with 13 points — her second double-digit outing as a Trojan
- USC's 13 assists matched USC's single-game season high
NEXT:
USC now turns to finish out the South Point Shootout with a night clash against Alabama tomorrow (Nov. 30) at 8 p.m. at the South Point Arena.
