[Husker] NU women's basketball

[Tony lambert]

I not buying it yet Not much depth at the 3,4,5 spots so one better hope 
that injuries pop up. I think the number 5 seed in the Big 12 might be a bit 
high. you have Baylor,OU, OSU,aTm, ISU and maybe KSU with more experience.

> Kelly is still a great all-around player
> Moore is still a great point guard and has stepped up her scoring
> Redmon has stepped up, especially scoring
> Burke has come back from an injury to be a solid second guard
> Hooper, just a freshman, looks great and although she can't make

> J Hooper  32  6-13  4-7   6-6     0  6   0   1   1   4  4  22
> C Redmon  34  7-8   0-0   0-0     5  13  1   0   1   4  3  14
> D Kelley  31  7-10  0-0   11-13   1  9   5   1   0   5  4  25
> K Burke   26  3-3   2-2   0-0     0  2   3   1   0   2  2  8
> L Moore   39  8-11  2-4   4-6     0  2   9   2   0   7  1  22
> The turnovers were bad, but when you score 99 points and shoot
