Getting your player ready...
LINCOLN, Neb.—Nebraska coach Connie Yori says her team could legitimately challenge for the Big 12 championship in women’s basketball this season.
Yori said Tuesday that the Big 12 appears a bit down after losing some of its star players from a year ago. And with six players with starting experience returning, Yori says she figures to have her best team in her eight years at Nebraska.
The Huskers were 15-16 overall last season and tied for seventh in the Big 12 at 6-10.
Yori said the Huskers might have the best post players in the conference with the return of Kelsey Griffin from a foot injury. Griffin averaged 20 points and 9 rebounds a game as a junior.
