I agree that Parker, Reed, and White in particular played really well, and are likely to continue to improve during the season, One more name to add to the praise is Weiskerscher. She brings great leadership to the mix and looks as if she is having a lot of fun as well. I suspect her personality is something which carries over.It's a really nice win, had to be really satisfying for Rose and the team.
First they won without Kaitlin Hord who is probably going to be an All-American. She is a dominant player offensively and defensively and they managed this without her.
Secondly they won a rugged, physical, ugly match and they won because they had a little more gas in the tank and a little more composure than Nebraska (and no doubt the home crowd helps)
Got lots of contributions from a lot of players. Made a lot of mistakes, but they really fought they really competed and that is the thing that Rose wants the most. He wants his teams to fight and scrap.
Last year's team had an enormously talented senior class with Washington and Frantti and Lee but this team might have more potential because they are really tough defensively. Kendall White is such a force. Taylor Leath is a super versatile player, the two freshmen stars (Parker and Gray) look ready to play, and Nia Reed, who has been hampered by injuries for so much of her career, is 100% and finally reaching her enormoush potential. Reed if she can stay healthy could be All-B1G or maybe AA, the way she played in this match.
Just such a pity that so few matches are televised. It's going to be a fun year to see how much this team can grow and what they can accomplish in December.
