The Husker women's basketball team reaped their reward for an exceptional season when they were selected as the #1 seed for the Kansas City regional in the 2010 NCAA Women's basketball tournament. Full bracket is available here.
UConn, Tennessee and Stanford are the other top seeds. UConn is currently riding a gazillion (or 72, if you're picky) game winning streak, while Stanford's only loss this season was to UConn. Then there's perennial powerhouse Tennessee, who happens to be on the same side of the bracket as UConn. The two teams used to play regular season match ups, but stopped that practice, so you know that ESPN would love to see a UConn - Tennessee match up.
Nebraska will face Northern Iowa at Williams Arena ("The Barn") on the University of Minnesota Campus on Sunday, March 21st. The game will be on ESPN2. The entire women's tourney will be available on ESPN360 online.
Northern Iowa is making their first NCAA tourney appearance, and got in by virtue of being the Missouri Valley Conference champions. Should the Huskers advance past UNI, they'll face the winner between UCLA and North Carolina State.
Looking at the brackets I'd have to say that the Huskers stand a pretty decent shot at a Final Four berth. Granted, anything can happen, but the highest seeds in the Kansas City regional are #2 Notre Dame, #3 Oklahoma, and #4 Kentucky.
Mrs. Corn Nation and I have already purchased tickets. I'm looking forward to heading over to Williams Arena and screaming my brains out for the Husker women. Look for an extremely loud guy wearing a Corn Nation t-shirt, and say hello.
No, that's not me, but instead it's sexy man-beast Klaus Bierbauch. He's wearing my shirt, though, so look for those shirts come Sunday.

You'll Get Your Money's Worth, Jon
I’ve been to several of their games at the Devaney Center. They’re fun to watch. They play together and they play hard.
It’s a pretty sure bet you’ll have plenty of people yelling with you. You know damn well Husker Nation will represent!!
"No 00:01 Chances!!"
that's true
I remember being stopped by a vendor at the Metrodome when I was wearing Husker garb. He wanted to know when Nebraska was going to come back and play in Minnesota again, regardless of the sport. He said he always appreciated Husker fans because they traveled well, were pretty courteous, and he made a lot of money. :)
So….. I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of Husker fans, yeah!
Go Big Red Nebraska!

Go Lady Huskers!!!
Watched them play OU in Norman a couple of weeks ago and they are pretty good. They shouldn’t have any trouble making the sweet 16, after that it usually goes to whomever has the better night, unless you are UCONN. Hopefully they learned from the loss to the Aggies and come back hungry and ready to play. But, I am afraid everyone is playing for second place behind the Lady Huskies. But you never know in a one and done. If we were to meet up with them (I think it would have to be the final game not sure) as good as we shoot the three pointer you never know.
