Hail Varsity article on this season...

nice job!

on coach:

"This was perhaps Amy Williams’ best coaching job to date as the leader of this Nebraska program. She had teams that were 21-11 and 17-13, so from a record standpoint, there have been more successful seasons, but Williams deserves a tremendous amount of credit and recognition for the work she had to do this year." 

 

"Consistency was nowhere to be found, not in her rotation, not in her practice availability. And yet Nebraska looked like one of the toughest teams in the league for a month stretch mid-year."

 

on Cain: 

"But… if she wanted to use the extra year of eligibility given by the NCAA, the ceiling next season could be pretty high for Nebraska. 

Factor in another year of development for Bourne and Stewart, health for Bella Cravens, and incoming freshman center Alexis Markowski, and Nebraska could have a deep and talented frontcourt."

on Haiby:

"People who have watched Sam Haiby game in and game out know how impactful she can be. When defenses aren’t loading up to wall her off, she’s as good a one-on-one scorer as there is in the conference. 

The only flaw in her game entering the season was her perimeter shot. She could hit 3s, but the consistency was still something of a work in progress.

This season she has shot 39% from 3. She’s hitting off-the-dribble 3s. She’s reseting when defenders go under the screen and rising up with confidence. Haiby’s first step is so quick and her ability to flip shots up and in in the lane means most defenders are going to go under the screen. If she continues to hit those 3s, she’s going to become a serious problem to guard."
