The Nebraska women's basketball team laid the foundation for growth in Coach Amy Williams' first season with the Huskers in 2016-17. Now the Big Red are ready to see some improved performance on the court.
Nebraska has plenty of room to climb after tying for 11th in the 14-team Big Ten Conference last season and finishing with a 7-22 record.
Although Nebraska must overcome the loss of a 2016-17 starting frontcourt that combined for 25.5 points and 15.1 rebounds per game while starting every contest last season, Williams and the Huskers are optimistic.
While the frontcourt took heavy losses, the starting backcourt returns intact and adds a pair of experienced Division I transfers and two talented freshmen.
