I don't see NU getting Wisconsin in their region as bad luck. It's just the way the seeds fell. Wisky has pretty solidly been the #7 seed for the last couple of weeks, and when Nebraska sealed their fate as the #2 seed with the loss to PSU, Wisconsin/ Nebraska was pretty much a done deal. The only way it wouldn't have if if they'd dropped NU to #3, put Wisc above Creighton or dropped them below SMU (neither makes sense). Sure, any of that puts them in different regions, but they're still on the same side as PSU and just traded Wisconsin for Creighton and possibly Texas, too. I'm not sure that would be better. Bottom line is that if they had beaten Penn State, they'd be #1, and the brackets would look wildly different with them getting the #8/9 seed to get through.
I like the idea of Nebraska sweeping Wisconsin 3 times.
They need to set the ball higher. It gives Merritt the chance to hit her cross body shot that works. That was the change in the Maryland game

Although Hawaiʻi is very young, when they are on, they can beat TCU.
