2025 NCAA Tournament - Regional Final: Huskers vs Texas A&M

Since that’s Andi’s spot in the rotation, she was handicapped a few times into having her serve.

Crazy the junior class is 99-6 and has regressed one game in the tournament each season.

They may be the best class ever to never win a title. I honestly do not see them winning the title next year unless they get some new blood in the program. For whatever reason they have not been able to get over the hump.

Under 2 coaches. But A&M had 9 seniors. Maybe they just need that last thing to get them through. RA and HM were hitting. But the blocking wasn't the best. Most of it went out of bounds.

Jackson was lobbing shots like she was scared of getting blocked rather than hitting her slides and adjusting.

Maybe they were all getting sick. That happens.

But that's the 3rd team in 3 years I've seen that look like they juat wanted it more than Nebraska. And like you said, each coming a round earlier each year.

I really thought they would have the momentum after that set 4 comeback.

DBK is the coach NU needs. I think she pulls together her team and builds something special

You’re replacing Allick and Landfair.

They could be just fine.

Allick was the heart and soul of this team and had her best season yet. And the junior class has been a lot of hype and has won a lot of matches but cannot seem to get over the hump in the post season. In my mind they need a killer transfer to come onboard.

Laney can absolutely step into that role, and MO is likely better than RA with another year of development.
 
Ya gotta hand it to aTm, as much as I don't want to - I hate them, coming into Lincoln and winning like that. Rebekah waving goodbye to The Bob for the final time was as hard to watch as the match. Watching Rebekah go into beast-mode the last few years will be forever great memories.

It'll be interesting to see if we have any transfers out. If we don't we look like we'll be very formidable again in '26.
 
Not having the backup available for Bergen hurt us. Not being available to even rest her was monumental and of course not having Allie to at least give A & M something to think about was a big deal. This team has avoided the opposition going on big runs all season, until today and that was hard to watch.
 
Lots of fans frustrated with Andi sitting the entire 5th set. I am all for sititng a star for a bit but not for the entire 5th set. The lineup decisions this entire match were suspect. Check out the comments.

The lack of quality BIG competition is what hurt this team the most. It prevented them from growing and being ready for tough post-season matches. The BIG was down this year and the SEC has 3 of the best teams in the country.

This is stupid. She was hitting .100, missing blocks, dinking balls instead of hitting, hitting out of bounds. You find someone playing better. Her replacements weren't good enough to win it, but better.

A freshman came in and blocked the middle. Disappointing all around, but they still almost won because of BA willing it.

DBK will be an even better coach when she gets a group motivated like those who played in last years championship game.
