[Husker] Women's basketball

[Tony lambert]

Steve, have you looked at the web site real time rpi ? This site has 
nebraska's RPI at 4 with a SOS of  19.
http://www.realtimerpi.com/rpi_Women.html I think sagarin is a bit off on 
his SOS. The coach for the catamounts said she thought that the huskers 
could be a final 4 team and along with that an ESPN talking head says 
Nebraska is the second best team only behind Baylor in the Big 12. Also you 
did a nice job of reviewing the game from last night.
