Coaches try many different ways to get a team to practice hard and play hard, but it helps a whole lot when you get the results to back that up.
The Nebraska women’s basketball team has started to get the results with three straight victories following its 0-3 start to Big Ten Conference play.
NU coach Connie Yori said the Huskers have started to play harder and practice harder. With three first-year starters, the players didn’t understand how hard they must practice, Yori said.
“I’ve preached to them, we’ve tried to say it in a nice way, we’ve tried to say it in a more firm way, we’ve tried different methods to try to get kids to play hard, and we just haven’t played as hard as we’d like in our practices,” Yori said.
