Nebraska volleyball notebook: Huskers didn't handle expectations

Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook said the Huskers didn’t handle expectations after going into last weekend tied for first place in the Big Ten Conference and being ranked No. 3 in the country.

Nebraska went 0-2, with losses to then-No. 9 Minnesota on Friday and No. 16 Wisconsin on Saturday.

“The pressure got to us a little bit and we didn’t play our best, so we've got to learn from that and move forward,” Cook said Monday. “Hopefully there is some great lessons to be learned. (In) this conference, if you’re off a little bit, you’re going to get beat.
