Amy Williams admits she sounds like a broken record when she talks about the increased confidence level of her Nebraska women’s basketball team.
That’s somewhat ironic given her comments Tuesday night came after her Huskers missed 18 of 35 free-throw attempts against a ranked Iowa team.
Teams aren’t supposed to beat ranked opponents – or very many opponents, period – when shooting 48 percent on free throws.
Somehow, Nebraska did.
So Williams, rightfully so, credited her Huskers for finding a way, for believing, for remaining confident.
It’s a 180-degree turn from last season’s seven-win team, and a major reason why Nebraska (13-6, 4-2 Big Ten Conference) is on track for postseason play in only Williams’ second season as head coach.
