Connie Yori felt as though she kept repeating herself this season when she addressed her Nebraska women’s basketball team with the scouting report for the next opponent.
Week after week, the NU coach kept telling the Huskers an opposing player was "One of the best players in the country.” That wasn’t a fib. The Big Ten Conference has some star power this season.
This week's league tournament in Indianapolis will showcase that talent. The Huskers open tourney play Thursday at 5:30 p.m. against Rutgers.
The Big Ten isn’t a great league top-to-bottom this year. Not every team plays great defense, Nebraska being one example.
