Husker women's goal of repeating last season's magic falls short

Related Topics: Nebraska, WNIT, magic

The Nebraska women’s basketball team didn’t achieve one of the goals it had to start the season when it didn’t want to be a one-hit wonder.

Nebraska had made the NCAA Tournament in 2018 by having the best one-season turnaround in the country, from seven wins in 2017 to 21 in 2018.

But that didn’t happen this year, and Nebraska had a 14-16 record this season and missed the NCAA Tournament and the WNIT.

Now Nebraska will go back to work and hope that the experience gained by four freshmen, and the blending of the old and new players as the season progressed, will have the Huskers ready to make another big improvement next season and return to the postseason in 2020.
