INSIDER: WBB wins secret scrimmage at Nebraska

[ChrisMWilliams]

The ladies traveled to Lincoln today for their secret scrimmage and won 71-49, which is pretty impressive if you ask me.

Sounds like there weren't a ton of surprises. Jadda, Seanna and Bridgett led the way.

Fennelly went very deep. Nine Cyclones played 13 minutes or more...

Ok based on that they should be able to easily beat every one on the non-conf schedule with the exception of Iowa and Miss St. Win one of those two and come into big 12 play with only one loss. Right?? Anybody else feel this way??

 

[NWICY]

Well it certainly looks like we will have more depth than last year. I would like to see the ladies finish in the top 4 of the B12, and get out of the opening weekend of the NCAA's.

Is Nebraska in disarray after firing Connie Yori? In other words, was this a good test for our team?

They are in rebuild mode. No games yet with their new coach. Natalie Romeo transferred and they lost two of their 2016 commits. I wouldn't read anything positive or negative about this scrimmage. Good opportunity to play against another team before exhibitions.

NU is unknown quantity as a team, but it is a power five team and they do have 6'4" Jessica Shepard who is a pre-season conference honoree. She would have been a good test for our front line.

I'm sure the expense is minimal, but it seems a little odd they wouldn't have "carpooled" with the men and play in Ames.

With only one road game (at Iowa) in the non-conference schedule I am sure they took this as an opportunity to get the team exposure to what a road trip is like.
