Our Wednesday night visitors from soggy Seattle dampened Nebraska’s senior day defeating the Huskers 83-62. Now, the Huskies hope to dampen Gopher senior night and their quest for an NCAA tournament bid. Fortunately, fewer of us remember the last meeting between Washington and Minnesota on March 18, 2006 in the NCAA first round. Not only did the Huskies prevail 73-69 in Nashville, but Gopher future hopes were also dampened by an exodes of key players in the following days.
If Minnesota is going to stay on the right side of the tournament bubble, they must deal with one of the Big Ten’s leading scorers,
Elle Ladine. The 5’11” junior guard averages 19.1 points and 4.4 rebounds in 33.2 minutes. Ladine dropped 28 against the Huskers and 28 versus Rutgers warming up for Nebraska.

The second leading scorer is
Sayvia Sellers. The 5’7” sophomore guard averages 15.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 32.1 minutes. Sellers scored 24 points against Southern Cal three games ago when Washington gave up a late 12 point lead to the Trojans.
If that’s not enough, there’s
Dalayah Daniels. The 6’4” graduate forward averagesv14.2 points and 7.6 rebounds in 30.9 minutes. Daniels smoked Nebraska for 21 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals.

When rolling, Washington are believers in the extra pass and attacking off the rebound. It’s shaping up as a memorable night for more than just the seniors.
