Great group of team focused athletes. Enjoyed watching them. Injuries hurt some, but so did playing two years with scrambled positions. Difficult for the young talents to settle in and really develop. Played hard all year, no doubt.

This team never lived up to the press clippings. They never embraced getting to Omaha like passed teams did. What a disappointment! this is harsh. and unnecessary. and past* lol |

Sense some negativity. Understandable I guess. Lots of shifting roles this season. IMO the biggest weakness was never finding consistent play at setter at a level needed for a final 4 team.
Then they lost Kenzie and Nicklin appeared to be hurt in the tournament to the extent that it visibly hindered her play IMO. I suspect possibly a chronic back injury issue.
Plenty of things to build on. Three very good sophomore hitters that all look 6 rotation capable. Great libero. Two very capable freshman middles, both with potential to be great. Maise is a capable DS and SS. Hayden has potential, but playing behind those 3 sophmores. And 5 very talented freshman joining in January.
Interested to see if there are any players transfer out, and if so what the transfer portal may provide. My opinion, highest priority is setter. If not either Orr (currently inconsistent) or Reilly (a freshman) will need to step up.
Doubt we will see much 6-2 in 2023.
The 2022 team gave us some great matches and play. Enjoyed the season, although late they struggled a bit versus very good teams. They played hard thru injuries and adversity IMO. Good season, not great, but good. Definite future potential for great.
Thank you lady Huskers for your hard work and exciting play. GBR!

Hi everyone! I just upgraded my tickets for the National Semifinal, so I now have 2 tickets that I am selling. I bought them on verified resale for $187/ea, but I am only asking for $120/ea. They are Section 215 Row G. Let me know if you are interested!

The silver lining is that I now get to focus on Brazil in the World Cup.

Though the season was a bit of a disappointment; I love this team; they had a lot to of hurdles to get over! Starting with the transfers of two key players; the recoup of a star setter and key injuries toward the season's end; and they still finished 2'nd in the B1G; & made it to the sweet 16! Go Big Red! |

Is it too early to fire up the 2023 thread? I now really need something to look forward to.

The biggest disappointment of the year was having a free ball and then an overpass to our 6-5 middle both on match point and not converting on either. Thus the year ends and how it will be remembered. I am sure Evans (poor set on the free ball) and Hord will be replaying those points for ever. It's all history now.
Safe to say we lost every match to teams that will end up above us in the polls, beat every team that ends up below us. Ended the year in a match we played well in and to a good team. An improvement at setter, by the kids we have or new kids, is the priority I am sure in the off season. If that happens and the hitters improve like I expect they will, could use this as a springboard into 2023.

My favorite Nicklin play. She could always fire it up in the playoffs despite frequent criticism. Wish she won one of those two finals.

I felt like the 2023 thread was exactly what the Nebraska fan base needed to move on.
I see now this thread is needed to continue to move through the grieving process in a healthy manner, while not bogging down the new thread with its messiness.
All of us sports fans have been there. I'm just glad it's you guys going through this misery this year rather than me after your team upset mine last season. It's a nice luxury to be able to follow a program that's always going to be in the hunt year after year to some extent, so there's that to be grateful for. And I know the vast majority of you are.
