Wow the timing of this in her career is so similar to that of Allison.   Both during their Sophomore non conference season playing lights out following an outstanding freshman one.  It's just crazy how many women suffer torn ACL'S playing WBB.  I kind of understand a bit more why Amy plays as many players as she does.  Three players on our bench with 5 five of these injuries.

The amount of playing time has nothing to do with sustaining a major injury. We have seen over the years players play 35+ minutes for most of a season without having a major injury. With Allison we know what caused her first ACL injury. As I have read the chance of having a second ACL for women is higher than men. Allison second was in practice. I know I am looking forward to seeing Natalie on the floor next year.

I've noticed a number of issues with the painted area on the new court in both the men's and women's games. It seems like players' feet are getting "stuck" at an abnormally high rate in the lane causing issues like turned ankles. However this is the first serious injury I'm aware of.  Something to monitor.

I was referring to building depth in case of injuries not preventing them by playing individuals less minutes.

I noticed The projected Starting lineup For this afternoon Is the same as somebody suggested in the north Alabama Discussion.4 guards and markowski. I hope our guards can keep them off the the3 point line  Because their  MO lately has been creighton will hit 7 out of 8 three pointers in the 1st quarter while Nebraska will hit 1 out of 7 and we're way behind after the 1st quarter needing to slowly try to catch up for 3 quarters.

Tonight Markowski became the 6th Husker to record 1,000 rebounds. And had another double-double withy 26pts and 12 rebounds.  Prince had a great game with 20pts and 6 rebounds.

But the supporting cast just had issues providing the 3rd needed scoring effort (and rebounds) to make up for loss of Potts. Yes, to be expected probably.

Overall a great effort from Nebraska. Just not quite enough at the end. Like someone else said...have to defend the Creighton 3.

 

On another note, tonight been watching the NU's men's team beat the Creighton men.  Made them look bad. Hoiberg had his guys ready. A nice defensive scheme that worked really well.

Natalie is scheduled to undergo surgery on Dec. 4 and is expected to regain the season of eligibility.
Explain please on the eligibility.

My post came from what was posted on the pregame notes today on Huskers.com. I would guess they think Natalie will get a medical redshirt for this year which would give her 3 more years. Hopefully that holds true. 

Seems fair, but not automatic.

Medical red shirts Are not automatic They can request A medical red shirt for Potts after her senior year. It Will almost surely be granted If the request is made

i thought i read an article that stated she will surely qualify for a medical redshirt. however, i will wait until it is final.
