There was some big news released yesterday about women’s basketball. Associate Head Coach Chuck Love is suspended from the program. No other information was provided and the athletic department indicated that no other comment will be made.

You will also notice below that Ashley Scoggin does not appear on the roster anymore. Allison Weidner is projected to draw the start in her place. Scoggin has been a two year starter for the Husker program and transferred in from Salt Lake Community College prior to the 2020-21 season.

Nebraska will be shooting for its second 20-win season under Coach Amy Williams, joining the 2017-18 squad that finished with 21 victories. NU has a total of 17 20-win seasons in program history.
