Last Time Out: Five Utes had at least 10 points to lead Utah to a 73-56 victory over Denver in its regular season opener on Nov. 8. Utah outrebounded Denver, 38-28, and enjoyed a 17-10 edge in assists to go with an 11-of-12 performance from the free throw line, while Denver was 12-of-19.
Plouffe Leads Utes: Senior forward Michelle Plouffe (Edmonton, Alberta) knocked down five of her last seven shots to finish with 15 points on Nov. 8 against Denver. Plouffe went 7-for-13 against the Pioneers and just missed a double-double as she collected nine rebounds to go with four assists.
Plouffe In the Utah Record Books: Plouffe is second in career blocks (127) and in career defensive rebounds (659) and is just 15 away from tying Utah's Director of Community Relations, Kim (Smith) Gaucher, who had 674 from 2002 through 2006. Plouffe is fourth in rebounding average (8.3), and fifth in scoring average (15.1). Plouffe is already sixth in Utah history with 874 career rebounds and needs just three more rebounds to tie Sandy Kovach (877 from 1979-83) for fifth place in school history. Plouffe is also seventh in school history in field goals attempted (1,415), ninth in 3-point field goal attempts (394) and career scoring (1,581). She needs 109 more to tie Mikki Kane-Barton (1,690 from 1989-93) for eighth. She stands 10th in school history in offensive rebounds (215).
Youth Movement: The Ute freshman class combined to score 35 points in their respective career debuts on Nov. 8 against Denver. Freshman guard Malia Nawahine (Springville, Utah) turned in 10 points and two rebounds, while freshman guard Devri Owens (Plano, Texas) added nine points after a 3-of-6 effort from 3-point territory for nine points.
Potter Impressive in Debut: Freshman forward Emily Potter (Winnipeg, Manitoba) scored a game-high 16 points and a game-high three blocks to go with a pair of rebounds. She was 5-of-6 from the field and 6-for-6 from the foul line.
Two of A Kind: Utah's starting guard tandem of senior Ciera Dunbar (Elko, Nev.) and sophomore Danielle Rodriguez (Downey, Calif.) each went 4-of-7 from the floor for 10 points and distributed a game-high six assists apiece in the Nov. 8 season opener against Denver.
Winning: Utah is listed 10th in the `All-Time By Percentage' rankings of the NCAA Division I Winningest Teams section of the 2013-14 Division I Women's Basketball Record Book. The Utes own an all-time record of 826-345 (.705).
Home in the Huntsman: Utah's home, the Jon M. Huntsman Center, continues to provide one of the biggest home-court advantages in NCAA Division I Women's Basketball.
Since the program's first season in 1975-76, the Utes have gone 453-74 on their home floor for a 85.96% winning percentage, which ranks ninth among the nation's toughest places to play.
Freebies: The Utes were 11-of-12 from the free throw line in the season opener against Denver. Potter was a perfect 6-for-6, while Malia Nawahine was 3-for-4.
All-Time Series: Utah has won all three previous meetings with Nebraska. The Utes won the initial game 71-57 in a neutral-site game on Dec. 4, 1976. Utah won the only other meeting in Salt Lake City on Dec. 1, 1978 by a 56-52 count. The last meeting between the schools was played on a neutral court on Nov. 24, 2007 with the Utes coming away with a 56-44 victory.
