“We’re excited about the opportunity to play a top-25 team like Nebraska,” said Roos head coach Jacie Hoyt. “It’s a great test for our team, and we’re looking forward to seeing how we stack up.”

Analysis and Impact

The Roos will be facing a significant height disadvantage against Nebraska. The Huskers have three players who are at least 6-foot-5, while the Roos’ tallest player is 6-foot-2.

“We’re going to have to be smart about how we play against their size,” said Hoyt. “We’re going to have to box out well and make sure we’re getting our rebounds.
