Alexis Markowski had 16 points and six rebounds in sixth-seeded Nebraska’s close 61-59 victory over No. 11 Texas A&M, which put the Huskers into a second-round game Sunday against third-seeded Oregon State. The 6-foot-3 Lincoln native will face 6-foot-4 Beavers center Raegan Beers in a showdown of bigs. Markowski was averaging a team-leading 15.

Nebraska’s Darian White, Alexis Markowski, Callin Hake and Jaz Shelley, from left, react to a call in the tema’s favor during the second half of a first-round college basketball game against Texas A&M in the women’s NCAA Tournament in Corvallis, Ore., Friday, March 22, 2024. Nebraska won 61-59. Nebraska guard Jaz Shelley reacts after scoring a basket against Texas A&M during the second half of a first-round college basketball game in the women’s NCAA Tournament in Corvallis, Ore.

But when asked if she’s been gathering momentum at the right time, Markowski deflected the question and turned to her teammates. The 6-4 forward was able to stand on her own and limped to the locker room. Beers later returned to the bench but did not play again. “We had plenty of opportunities down the stretch to really get over the hump, or execute, and we couldn’t quite make that game-winning play,” Williams said. “We learned as much from that game as we probably did the Iowa game.”Nebraska guard Jaz Shelley is familiar with Oregon State because she’s played them before — as a Duck.
