Shelly will play on the 2021 Aussie National Team in the Asia Cup late this month and early Oct.

 

She was of course already on the Aussie teams since 2015, and she was on the gold medal team that upset the USA team at the 2016 FIBA under 17 team.

She had 23 pts in a upset semi final game against the USA.

 

Really looking forward to her playing for the Big Red...she may well be a difference maker this season. Just get her on the court and let her play...she knows the game. 

 

....and she's only a sophomore... :)

Pretty sure this is the same Australian team is largely pro level players. I think a couple are WNBA, and most of the rest are Aussie pro team players. Only a couple are college players, one of which is Shelly.  She's one the youngest on their team. And she played for Oregon last year.  Maybe it can be said she has the most high level experience than anyone coming into the team for a long tine. 

 

Said it before, don't want to wear it out, ..... but just have the feeling she going to be huge for this Husker team.

Shelley has become arguably NU’s first true point guard since Rachel Theriot. Hannah Whitish and Haiby have capably filled the role since, but Haiby in particular is a natural scorer. Shelley can do that — she’s shooting 54% from the floor and 3-point range — but she’s equally comfortable in the distribution role. Shelley can run the floor when needed or gear back into a half-court offense, which is one reason her assist-to-turnover ratio is 5-to-1.

Thank NU leading scorer Isabelle Bourne for that. She and Shelley were close friends on the Australian club basketball circuit, and remained so even when Shelley began her career with the Ducks. When Shelley decided to leave UO — where she was the lone Australian — Bourne stumped hard for the Huskers, whose coaching staff had tried to lure Shelley two years before.
