AR Husker Fan Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Husker Runner, appreciate the link for the video feed. Living out of state, this will be one of the few times I get to actually see them play. Quote Link to comment
huskersrule95 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Kansas wins the first set 25-21. Nebraska did not play well at all and hit only .133 while Kansas hit .243. Quote Link to comment

This NU team puzzles me. They have the talent to be dominating but they just don't seem to know how to win and win like they should. There is a lot of game left but NU shouldn't drop a game to a team like KU. Especially at home. I wonder how mentally tough this team is? A lot of season left to tell. Quote Link to comment
huskersrule95 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Nebraska wins set 2 25-13. We played much better overall. Nebraska hit .464 in the 2nd set compared to .129 for Kansas. Quote Link to comment
Vince from ShamWOW Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Nice segment on Bridgette Root. It would be nice to see her get a shot at playng. However with her being a setter and the coaches daughter on the roster, her playing time looks less than....... even - equal. Quote Link to comment

It has nothing to do with Lauren Cook being the coaches daughter to why Bridgett Root wont play much, it is because Lauren Cook is really good and that is why she will play and not Root.

Vince from ShamWOW Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 In terms of the second and third games play, this type of domination has to be expected and exhibited of and from them no matter who the opponent is. Against any team they have the skills, but do they have the intestional fortitude? Quote Link to comment

Lauren Cook last year at UCLA won AVCA National Freshman of Year. I am pretty sure that is pretty damn impressive of an award to get and means she is a very good player. There is probably reasons why Root is 3rd string right now, probably isnt as good as the other 2 setters that play and I am sure it has nothing to due with Cook being coaches daughter.

Sure thing Dan Hawkins. Even he saw the what's what. It' took him three years - but he finally got it. There's hope, so don't quite yet. With this stated, we can drop it now as there's nothing more to add. Nice NU win. Not a great win, but a nice win. Quote Link to comment
