osu will be a handful------plus, they get the transfers Mavunga, Calhoun, and Harper eligible. my prediction is maryland will take a back seat to osu for the next 2 seasons. it will be a battle, but, i think osu will pull it out.

Ever the optimist, I believe we will surprise people.  I know Coach has the women in great shape.  From what I understand, the women are all having a great time as well and team unity is good.  I believe some of the freshmen will play significant roles, especially Hannah Whitefish and, due to Blackburn's injury, Grace Mitchell.  I also personally believe it will be difficult to keep Nicea and RCJ off the court -- Nicea for her defense and RCJ for her offense.  November 6th cannot get here soon enough!

I would probably take your analysis a little more seriously if you actually knew the names w the players

What the heck is wrong with some good old fashioned optimism even if the pundits pick us in the lower echelon of the Big 10.  It sounds like the chemistry is better this year and even though we are very young and in a new system it can be fun watching a hard working team playing together win or lose.

btw, where do the pundits have the huskers in the big ten? only list i saw was on the big ten website and i only found it showing the top 3. just a guess, but, i would think they probably have huskers listed around the 10 spot?
