knapplc Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The Big Ten announced their end-of-year honors today.

She's already a hero to the team - and was before stepping in for the suspended Cook - but outside the program she's a relative unknown. Her contributions to the team cannot be overstated. We've been lucky to have her. Nebraska tied Penn State with three first-team selections, and led the Big Ten with five overall selections to first-team or honorable mention. Quote Link to comment

markhusker05 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey Lara..we still love ya! You are a champ in our eyes. And why didnt Morgan make it on the Big Ten team? She deserves more than honroable mention. Great news on Root! She deserves some of the spotlight. Hopefully she gets to play some in the tournament. It doesnt hurt to have Lauren sit on the bench.
