Nebraska and Oregon State have the opportunity to make the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament today.
After strong performances in the first round of the women’s college basketball NCAA Tournament, third-seeded Oregon State and sixth-seeded Nebraska are a win away from the Sweet 16. In the first round, the Beavers took care of business, winning by 22 points, but could be without star Raegan Beers who left the game early with an ankle injury. The Cornhuskers survived a tough, hard-fought defensive game against Texas A&M (61-59) to advance. This will be another contrast of styles with the Beavers coming in as one of the best defensive teams in the country and the Cornhuskers looking to get up and down the floor with an explosive offense.

This season the Cornhuskers are 22nd in the country in three-pointers per game (8.5) and have 12 games this season making at least 10 three-pointers. In the first round they went just 5-21 and will look to splash home more deep balls to crack a tough Beavers defense.
Alexis Markowski finished with 16 points and six rebounds in the win to lead the Cornhuskers. Logan Nissley also scored 16 points, going 4-6 from three to crack the defense and lead them to a hard-fought win.
For the Beavers, they got off to a slow start until the defense kicked into high gear allowing 12 points or less in the final three periods to cruise to a 73-51 win. Beers led the way with 19 points on 8-11 shooting, nine rebounds and three steals before leaving with an ankle injury. If Beers is able to play, the matchup with her and Markowski in the paint could be the highlight of the second round.
