Packing the house and some punch
Its been about a week and a half but the Nebraska women’s basketball team has picked up two wins in that time frame. The most recent was in front of a near sell out crowd of 13,303 (official BDSC sellout attendance is just over 13,500) the women muscled their way past Kansas State 71-56. Of course dollar tickets didn’t hurt the attendance but the last home game drew over 7000, so its obvious that Husker Nation is taking notice. Before the Kansas State game the women picked up their third top 10 win of the year with a 65-56 road win over #9 Baylor. That win vaulted the women into the top 10 in both the AP and the coaches poll. And lets see you chew on this one, in his latest Bracketology update, Charlie Creme has placed Nebraska as a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Out of everything, that probably is the toughest to get your head around. Another little nugget since we last talked Wisconsin-Bay, Georgia and Notre Dame lost games so there are two undefeated teams in the nation, Nebraska and UConn.
This team, right now...is a legit Elite Eight contender and has a very good shot at going to the Final Four. But there is still a long way to go in the Big 12 season just yet. Just a quarter of the way through, Nebraska still has tough games @ Oklahoma (Feb. 24th), vs. Texas A&M (Feb 6th) and vs. Oklahoma State (Feb 3rd). The Oklahoma game presents the last major road block on the road. The OSU game is the next one at home and I encourage everybody to go out and check this team out.
