Im still in the boat to move her to L1 or at least consider moving Madi (even though that will probably mess up rotations) You’re operating from the assumption she will go over there and excel. We don’t know that. Also in order to do that you’re significantly weakening a strength, a strength that has really held Nebraska back last two seasons. She would have to be great over there to mitigate the loss on the right. I mean... her side out in R1 is significantly higher than what Ally/Sun has offered. I think we do know that. By keeping that strength, you're also keeping a way more important weakness. There are 0 rotations where the opposite is in a two hitter rotation.... OH1 has two of them. How many times has Nebraska bled points because they cannot side out when they aren't in system? (Answer: its a lot) Krause and Madi are our best OOS hitters. It's not a debate. Why are we overlapping their rotations (x2)? If you move Krause to OH1, you ensure that you have a capable arm to take a big swing if you need it (Ally and Lexi have not shown they can do this) every rotation. Lindsay has been effective in system.... OOS on the right side is another story. Her OOS approach is much better and more natural on the left where she can actually get swings. Part of Nebraska's problem the past two years was there was no one to take the OOS balls in the two rotations with Madi and Jazz... neither of them hit it well. that's changed. I don't think there is anyone hitting better OOS than Madi right now. Lindsay's been effective in system (but so was Jazz)

Lindsay's been effective in system (but so was Jazz) As far as her sideout in rotation 1 being “significantly” higher, I don’t know that, if you can verify that, I’d obviously concede that point. I still say that you’re operating from an assumption that she would be much better. Anyway, you’re talking about moving two players in November, and you’re just not going to see that happen. I respect your opinion, I see your argument, I just don’t agree.

Cook and Nebraska fans can't blame this wipe out on Lexi Sun Boring

(the wisconsin replay isn't even available for some reason) The OH1 literally hit negative... she is going to be better no matter what. It can't get worse Why not? Is the goal of this team not to get better before the tournament? The B1G title isn't likely. Not making a switch "because its November" is lame and asking for a regional final exit... again.

The thing that concerns me about moving Lindsey Krause from the Opp position to the left side with 9 matches remaining in the regular season is the harm it might cause to the balance of the Huskers. While Lauenstein is very talented, I don't think she has the consistency Lindsey has. I'm not convinced that trading consistency on the right for consistency on the left will be a net gain at this point. Maybe it's better to make a move like this in the spring or in fall camp.

I agree. I think making too many changes in one shot may mess up the dynamic they have already built with their current line-up. However, I have yet to feel like Ally is comfortable, making me think that putting Lexi in there instead would be the best move. The defenders are doing a good job for the attackers they are subbing for. This seems like the simplest line-up change to make. Make fun of me all you want for saying this but I do feel Lexi brings positive energy to the court and has good chemistry with the team. Their streak was broken last night but they still seem to be clicking way better now than 3-4 weeks ago. I am sure competition for the pin spots will continue to be strong the next few years with the ones returning next season plus Hayden Kubik coming in then the 2023s. GBR!

I totally agree that it’s worth a try to put Krause on the left if Sun is no longer a viable option to start for Cook.
We need to aim higher. Can’t be afraid to shake things up a bit

Our middle combo is as good as it gets offensively. Krause is getting better on the right despite some errors yesterday. When she went line, it was emphatic. We have all the pieces right now other than L1 to make a good run in the tourney. I actually feel good about their chances to make a run after last night. I do think Wisconsin is the more poised and mature team. 5 freakin’ super seniors for crying out loud!

I’m not saying she can’t be better, that wouldn’t be too tough right now. I’m saying we don’t know if she would be so much better to mitigate the loss of what really is a great strength. Also, that there is no way there aren’t some fairly significant growing pains if you alter line-up and roles, with some huge matches coming up. Last night was a disappointing effort from the team, but this line up has made them way more stable and productive, with Krause on the right being an enormous part of that. The move you’re suggesting would in my opinion be de-stabilizing at a crucial and brutal part of the schedule. I don’t believe the juice would be worth the squeeze. People tend to focus on solving the problem of the left without acknowledging that at best Krause as the solution is borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. It’s solving a problem and creating another one. Sun or Batenhorst has to play better and certainly we’ve seen Sun play much better.

Who is Cook to going bench next? I love how he is destroying the morale of this team. Well he’s certainly destroyed your morale, I’ll say that.

If their morale is destroyed then I nominate all of them for best actcress awards in a supporting role. Idk about this. Players know that if they don't look or act 100% supportive on the bench they'll get a talking to for that...no one wants to risk losing their chance of getting play time, looking bad to their teammates/coaching staff or losing their scholarship money. Plus, it looks really bad on camera when a benched player decides to sulk or look like they have a bad attitude about not being played...thousands of people watching form a poor opinion of players if they do that (not to mention the hundreds of thousands who might watch on Youtube later). It's also bad for Nebraska's image if that happens...Hunter and Foecke have told media in the past that Nebraska has hired sports psychologists that talk to them about growth mindset, how everyone on the team has a role to play, etc. They obviously train their players on how they're expected to act, what type of attitude they need to display and how to respond to questions in the media when asked about this stuff. Inside, some of these players are probably crushed (I would be too if I tried my best and never got played) but there's no way they'll let the world see that during a game.

I always agree with you but I do believe they have a shot at that B1G title. Is it my homerism? Haha keep me in check..

I was just going to post this same thing. The Nebraska players act the same way around Cook on the Nebraska bench like all the citizens of North Korea act when pictured around Kim Jong-un........smiling and crying in rapture around the supreme leader.
