Galligan frustrated with losses,
hopeful for NCAA tournament
By Trevor Parks
Staff Reporter
With all the injuries and losses the
Nebraska women’s basketball team
has suffered, probably no player is
more frustrated than Kate Galligan.
Galligan is averaging 10.9 points
a game, only 0.1 points per game
above last year’s 30-game total.
Galligan has 71 assists, down from
last year’s total of 89. She also has 93
turnovers, just nine shy of last year’s
total.
Her field-goal percentage also has
dropped from 41.2 percent in 1993
94 to 37.7 this year.
The 5-foot-8 junior guard said the
first part of the season went well, but
the last month she had been very
inconsistent.
“I don’t think I’ve been giving
what the team needs me to give,”
Galligan said. “All the losses on top
of that aren’t fun either.”
Now Galligan said she was hoping
the Comhuskers, 11-12 and 2-8 in
the Big Eight, could start to have fun
in the final three regular-season games
of the year.
But for Nebraska those are three
road contests — at No. 3 Colorado,
Missouri and Iowa State — before
going to the Big Eight Tournament
March 4-6 in Salina, Kan.
“In order to get a decent seed in the
Big Eight Tournament, we need to
win,” Galligan said. “We were hop
ing to win the last three out of four
and the loss to Oklahoma hurt.”
The Huskers lost to Oklahoma 85
83 on Sunday, and Galligan shot two
air balls in a last-minute rally at
tempt.
*■ The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native
said it was hard to lose to the Sooners
after having a 16-point lead in the
second half.
“It was more tough because we had
such a big lead on them,” Galligan
said. “It just typifies our season. We
play well; we just don’t play well
enough.”
Nebraska also lost at Oklahoma
63-62 earlier this year in Norman,
Okla.
If the Big Eight season were to end
today, the Huskers would get a third
chance at the Sooners.
That’s a chance Galligan can’t
pass up.
“They know that they have kind of
itched by us twice,” Galligan said. “I
think it is kind of good for us too,
because we should be confident
against them.”
Nebraska would be a seventh seed
and would be hoping to follow in the
footsteps of Missouri last year.
The Tigers were a seventh seed
last year and went on to win the
conference tournament to gain the
Big Eight’s berth into the NCAA
Tournament.
Galligan said with the craziness of
this season, she said the Huskers could
surprise some teams in the tourna
ment.
“The way this year’s gone, I think
anything is possible,” Galligan said.
“You just never know how this team
is going to do.”
One area in which the team is not
doing so good is free-throw shooting.
Galligan’s statistics are also down
from the free-throw line.
Although she is second on the
team with a free-throw percentage of
72.3, she shot 81 percent last year.
The Huskers as a whole are shoot
ing 59 percent, lowest in the Big
Eight.
Galligan said that was a major
problem.
“It’s definitely hurting us,”
Galligan said. “We need to step up to
the line like, ‘that’s too bad you fouled
me I’m going to nail these.’ Instead
we get up there and say ‘oh my gosh,
I can’t miss.’”
Although this year has been a
struggle for Galligan and the rest of
the Huskers, she said the experience
should bring the'team closer together
for next year.
“You can do nothing but leam
from a season like this,” Galligan
said. “It can be a positive thing. Un
fortunately it’s kind of like one of
those good losses. If there is one.”
