I don't see how we end up #10? We don't lose much, have most of our scoring back, and are adding some talented freshmen.

Me either! I think we under-performed last season, most likely because of inexperience, relying a lot on the new recruits, compounded by injuries to seasoned players (think Senior transfer Kristian Hudson, who was injured early-on and did not play). Some players weren't able to duplicate their prior year's productivity for whatever reason; overachieving the prior season, slump or maybe other teams figuring out how to better defend us had something to do with it.

We had several close calls last season, games where we could have won, and some we should have won. Our inexperience (there was only one Senior on the team, Maddie Simon) contributed to our inability to close-out close games.

This season we'll have Three Four Seniors (including Kristian Hudson who was granted another year of eligibility), and Two Juniors, along with the returning class of Four Freshmen, now seasoned Sophomores, and an incoming class of three highly-regarded recruits (plus well-regarded Grand Island walk-on Whitney Brown. oops, apparently a 2020 recruit). I think we are poised to over-achieve this season, improving on last years 14-16 record (9-9 in conference), and could return to Post-Season play.

Not much mention about Nebraska; But, I think we may surprise a few folks!

What to know about Big Ten women’s basketball in 2019-20

The Megan Gustafson era is over, but is Iowa really out of contention? Plus, Maryland, the Michigan schools and more are poised to have outstanding Big Ten seasons — if they can get past tough non-conference opponents unscathed.
