Emily Wood will be returning to her home state and playing in an arena where she has spent a good amount of time when the Nebraska women’s basketball team plays Kansas in historic Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, on Wednesday.
“I think it will be a really fun opportunity to play at KU,” said the Husker senior guard from Salina, Kansas. “That’s a pretty historic gym, and so just to get to play there and all the tradition that’s there will be really neat.”
The Husker roster includes three players from the state of Kansas, with sophomore forward Rachel Blackburn from Leavenworth and sophomore forward Grace Mitchell from Wellington joining Wood.
