You can measure the height of a basketball player, and Nebraska senior guard Emily Wood is listed at 5-foot-5 on the roster.
That can make it more difficult to make it on a college basketball team, but Wood has done so, first as a walk-on, and then as a scholarship player. And now she’s making her biggest contributions during her final season.
Due to some players starting the season injured, or being injured since then, Nebraska has used a few different starting lineups. Wood has started the Huskers’ past two games, the first starts of her college career.
