Nebraska WBB: All-Conference Honors and Tournament Update

Hannah Whitish is the only Husker to earn all-conference recognition as she leads the Huskers into tournament play on Thursday

The Nebraska women are officially the #6 seed in the conference tournament. They tied with three other teams who also had a 9-9 conference record, but earned the tie-breakers over Michigan State, Minnesota, and Northwestern.

Maryland, Iowa, and Rutgers were the top three seeds, in that order. Nebraska went 0-5 against those three teams during the regular season. Michigan was the #4 seed – the Huskers split the season series with the Wolverines.

Ohio State finished as the fifth seed. Nebraska defeated Ohio State way back on December 31. Ohio State is likely to be the Big Ten’s auto-bid for the WNIT (the highest seed that is not invited to the NCAA tournament). The auto-bid is extended regardless if a team has a .500 record or not, while at-large berths are only extended to teams that are at least at .500.
