USC delivered a statement road win in the Big Ten, knocking off previously unbeaten No. 20 Nebraska 74–66 at Pinnacle Bank Arena for its first road victory of the season. A dominant third quarter fueled by Londynn Jones and strong all-around play from Jazzy Davidson and Kennedy Smith proved to be the difference, as Nebraska’s late push fell short despite defensive pressure and trips to the free-throw line. We break down how foul trouble, defensive intensity, and Davidson’s brief injury scare shaped the game, why USC left the door open late, and how Nebraska couldn’t capitalize in the final minutes. Plus, a full look around women’s college basketball: Michigan outlasts Oregon in a double-overtime thriller, Maryland overwhelms Wisconsin behind Oluchi Okananwa’s career night, Notre Dame rolls with Hannah Hidalgo’s historic scoring and steals pace, and North Carolina dominates Boston College. To close, we tackle a growing conversation in the sport: is NCAAW getting less national attention this season? From Cori Close’s postgame comments to ranked matchups hidden behind streaming paywalls, we dig into the visibility, media coverage, and “storyline” debate surrounding the game right now.      Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
