Nebraska WBB Falls to Wisconsin in the Final Second

A buzzer beater by the Badgers buries Husker hopes

This one hurts. An NCAA tournament bid was already out the window for the Husker women (barring a conference tournament championship run) but this loss is starting to make even a WNIT bid look like a long shot. The Huskers slipped to 4-5 in the Big Ten and 9-11 overall, while Wisconsin improved to 11-10 and 2-7 in the league.

The Badgers are a better team than their record indicates, but this is still one that Nebraska should have won. The Husker defense has been somewhat resurgent the past few games, but they allowed the Badgers, averaging just 59 points per game in B1G contests, to score 70.

The freshmen were somewhat quiet in the scoring department as all the usual suspects from the 2017-18 season were the ones carrying the offensive load. I’m not sure what is next for Amy Williams’ crew, but this team still feel like it lacks an identity and not everyone is sure of their roles. We’ve seen Coach Williams go through this before and come out better on the other side. Fingers crossed.
