Moving on and moving up
Two more wins since we last talked for the women’s basketball team. A 89-47 drubbing of Texas Tech in Lubbock and a 80-64 win over Colorado in Boulder. The Tech win was a significant one because it was Nebraska’s first victory in Lubbock in 7 tries. Plus, though 6 games in the Big 12 they have won 4 of their 8 scheduled road games. From here on out Nebraska will play 6 home games as opposed to 4 on the road.
Nebraska continues to move up in the polls as they are 6th in the AP poll and an astonishing #4 in the Coaches poll. Nebraska will most likely move up two spots in the AP poll as both Ohio State and Tennessee lost in the previous week (Nebraska was ahead of both in the Coaches poll) A move up in the Coaches poll is not likely this week but possible.
A big two game stretch faces Nebraska at home this week. On Wednesday it is against #17 Oklahoma State. OSU is the #2 team in the Big 12 and Nebraska could really themselves some good by putting some distance between them and 2nd place in the conference. Another huge road block comes to Lincoln when Texas A&M comes calling. And that road blocks name is Danielle Adams. The 6-1, ”Barkley-esque” player has already logged a triple double this year and will be a big challenge for the Huskers down low. Nebraska has shown they can win when the inside game and Kelsey Griffin are hampered (Baylor win) , but this will be another test for Connie Yori’s Huskers.
