Husker basketball starts today! The ladies tip at noon and the men at 7 pm. Check back here for game threads for both games.
The Husker volleyball team continues to dominate every oponents they face. The set
streak is up to 40. They haven’t lost a set since September. They are the only unbeaten team left in D1 volleyball after Texas lost two matches this weekend.
The football team played a tough game against USC but ultimately came up short. The loss was even bigger since Dylan Raiola suffered a season-ending leg injury. TJ Lateef will need to speed up his development curve and step into the QB1 role sooner than expected. He doesn’t have Raiola’s arm, but he is a lot more mobile. I hope Dana Holgerson is thumbing through a new section of the playbook to find some plays that take advantage of Lateef’s mobility.
