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

[Robert Christensen]

I am amazed at the number of Husker fans that seem oblivious to the 
success of the Lady Husker basketball team.  Even when I have been 
talking about the how much I enjoy watching them play, they will make a 
comment that is obviously regarding the men's basketball team.  Devaney 
should have been packed for all the Big XII season, yet it was only the 
last couple of games that were close to sellouts.  All I can say is they 
missed a great basketball season and a great bunch of Lady Huskers.

Nebraska had goose eggs in each category! Now they have a "1" in the Sweet Sixteen column.
