Nebraska heads into the Michigan game well rested after enjoying a bye weekend from Big Ten action. The rest was well-deserved, after the Huskers notched an epic 93-89 triple-overtime victory last Thursday at No. 15 Purdue. Nebraska's Jordan Hooper, who was added to the State Farm Wade Trophy Watch List Tuesday led the Huskers with 27 points and seven boards against Purdue. She leads NU with 20.0 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.

Junior point guard Lindsey Moore scored eight of her 26 points in the third overtime to help shoot the Huskers to victory in their first-ever meeting with Purdue. Moore's second three in the third OT also made her the 27th Husker in history to cross the 1,000-point plateau for her career. Moore enter's the Michigan game averaging 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.3 steals.

Freshman Emily Cady produced the first double-double of her career against Purdue with 11 points and career highs of 12 rebounds and seven assists. Cady's miraculous off-balance three as time expired in the second overtime gave the Huskers a chance at victory. The 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., is averaging 13.4 points and 6.7 rebounds in Big Ten play to increase her season averages to 10.0 points and 6.2 boards on the year.
