[Husker] Sweet Sixteen --- Kansas City here we come!

[Lynette Tillner]

Can't believe that Women are in the Sweet Sixteen for the first time EVER and no comments! 

At work, there is a Husker Alum who tells me "Lynette, I keep telling you, I don't watch women's basketball. I'd rather watch paint dry!" 

Very sad because this year's team has been extremely entertaining. I do think they play "rough." Lots of bumping and contact. 

We were down to UCLA by 9 and up to 11 points early in the game and came back to lead by 5 at the half and win by 14 or 16 points! This team just finds a way to win. 

So telling when the TV announcers posted the matrix of the number one seeds, previous Sweet Sixteen appearances, Final Four appearances and National Championships - UConn, Stanford and Tennessee have numbers in each category. Nebraska had goose eggs in each category! Now they have a "1" in the Sweet Sixteen column. 

Connie Yori called the Huskers a "Cinderella" team. That's true. Even though they are a number one seed. They are making history for themselves and the UNL Women's Basketball program. 

You guys are missing a LOT of fun! 

Go Big Red - Women's Basketball team - all the Way!
