Bulldogs Drop Heartbreaker to Huskers
November 26, 2022 | Women's Basketball
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – The Bulldogs dropped a heartbreaker to Nebraska in overtime Saturday, 73-65, in the final game of the Puerto Rico Clasico. Mississippi State leaves San Juan with a 1-1 record on the island and a 6-2 overall record.
Mississippi State and Nebraska traded punches from the opening tip as neither team could break away at any point in the contest. Trailing by three with just seconds remaining, true freshman Debreasha Powe drilled a triple from the wing as the buzzer sounded to tie the game at 57 and send the contest to overtime.
Entering overtime, Nebraska was 8-for-24 (33%) from behind the arc; however, the game flipped when the Huskers' Jaz Shelly hit three triples in 60 seconds in overtime and four in the extra period. She ended the game with a game-high 32 points. The Huskers' largest lead in the game was 10 points, earned with 22 seconds left in the OT period.
Game Notes:
• Powe hit her second buzzer-beating triple in the last three games. Powe ended the game with 7-points
• The Huskers' Shelly and Isabelle Bourne combined for 50 of their 73 points
• Jessika Carter led the Bulldogs in scoring with 15 points. JerKaila Jordan and Asianae Johnson each had 10.
• State shot 36% from the field compared to Nebraska's 46%.
Quoting Coach Purcell
"There is a different vibe about us when we make shots, make layups. We went so hard this was just one of those night where we didn't finish, but with all that being siad, I'm so proud of my squad. I absolutely love them and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. I'm just heartbroken because I know how badly they wanted this one."
Up Next
Mississippi State will be back inside The Hump on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. against ULM.
