Connie Yori's Nebraska women's basketball team seems to be on track for another shot at the NCAA Tournament at part of March Madness.

Coach Yori's team made quick work of the Indiana Hoosiers Thursday night at Assembly Hall in Bloomington.

Rachel Theriot led the way with 14 points while former Seward Bluejay Emily Cady and Jordan Hooper added 11 each for the Big Red.

Nebraska built a 20 point halftime lead at 37-17 and never looked back winning their second Big Ten contest.

Ranked 23rd in the coaches poll and just outside of the Top 25 in the AP, the Huskers have perhaps their toughest challenge moving onto Happy Valley to take on the 8th ranked Penn State Nittany Lions Sunday afternoon on ESPN2, so this game will be "big time."
