The Nebraska women’s basketball team competes in the 2022 NCAA Tournament this weekend. They were selected as a No. 8 seed to play against No. 9 seed Gonzaga in the first round.
Head Coach Amy Williams said the Gonzaga Bulldogs have athletes who’ve played college basketball for many years already.
“They start super seniors, seniors, juniors. They’re [a] little more veteran and experienced roster, so I think that’s what makes them tough and challenging - is they are very poised,” Williams said. “They don’t get rattled easy. When they’re down, they just continue to play at their pace and they make big plays like veterans do.”
Nebraska makes its 15th all-time appearance in the NCAA Tournament and its first since 2018. The Huskers play the Bulldogs on Friday at 2:30 p.m. Central time in Louisville, Kentucky. If Nebraska advances, they play the winner of No. 1 seed Louisville and No. 16 seed Albany on Sunday.
