A bit off topic here, but there's a lot of Husker connections. Sister Kalynn is on the Husker roster, mother Peggy played for Terry Pettit in the early 90s, and Kayla is, of course, Kayla.
Looks like Coach Banwarth is smartly maintaining those Nebraska recruiting ties.

This weekend starts 3 weeks of Friday/Saturday or Friday/Sunday matches. This is the first time the Huskers have had weekend only matches since the week of the Penn State match. Coach Cook has talked about how Wednesday matches effect the training schedule. Question: Do you think this will have a positive effect on the Huskers going forward to the tournament? Yes. But, probably not enough to overcome Wisconsin talent and experience. I personally believe Nebraska experience and talent is on par. Wisconsin plays better as a unit, is more steady, and plays the big points better.

Yes. But, probably not enough to overcome Wisconsin talent and experience. I personally believe Nebraska experience and talent is on par. Wisconsin plays better as a unit, is more steady, and plays the big points better. I think the Huskers traditionally play better than the sum of their parts. In the lead up to big matches, it seems like I often read comments such as, "almost all of Opponent XX's players are much better than Nebraska's, so the Husker's don't have a chance", only to see Nebraska prevail. That hasn't been true this year. This team is generally under performing, even though some (or most) players are playing very well. My point is that there is still a lot of possibility for improvement this year. Optimistic me believes that this is a top-4 team. Pessimistic me believes it won't happen without a key player change.

The common opinion on VT was that their seeds should have been reversed.

It's not the main point of my post, so I'll admit an error on that detail. In 2017 Kentucky was the higher seed at 4 vs 5, had a higher RPI of 3 vs 6, and had home court in the Lexington Regional.
That being said, I remember looking at the bracket that year and thinking that it was the easiest bracket in the tournament, even before Colorado knocked off the #12 seed Baylor. In the end, Nebraska had to play 2 SEC teams in Kentucky and Florida and a Penn State team that Nebraska had swept in their only other meeting on their way to the championship.

Very well. I've removed the reference to Kentucky v Nebraska.
