About The Event

The Nebraska women’s basketball team opens its 2015-16 regular season by taking on Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

A Look at the Lady Lions: Scouting Arkansas Pine Bluff
Coach Nate Kilbert brings Arkansas Pine Bluff to Lincoln trying to improve on a 7-22 season a year ago. The Lady Lions return three starters from a team that went 5-13 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in 2014-15. Senior Diamond Richardson is a leader for UAPB, as the 5-6 guard averaged 5.0 points and 3.7 rebounds per game last season.

Sophomores Destiny Brewton (8.3 ppg, 2.6 rpg) and Ajia Richardson (6.7 ppg, 2.9 rpg) added starting experience alongside Diamond Richardson in the backcourt.

Inside, 6-1 senior Attirah Munir averaged 2.0 points and 2.6 rebounds while also making a pair of starts last season for the Lady Lions.

While Arkansas Pine Bluff has some experience, the Lady Lions lost 10 letterwinners from last year’s team and feature eight newcomers. Junior college transfer Hannah Roberts leads that list. The 6-2 Roberts is the only Lion taller than 6-1. She spent last season as a sophomore at Southeast Community College in Nebraska, where she averaged 3.1 points and 4.8 rebounds for a team that finished 22-8.

Arkansas Pine Bluff’s group of newcomers includes four junior college transfers, three true freshmen and one redshirt freshman.

The Huskers own a 3-0 record in the all-time series with UAPB, including a 78-55 win over the Lady Lions on Nov. 21, 2013. NU added a 95-43 victory on Nov. 12, 2011, after opening the series with a 67-39 win on Jan. 2, 2008.
