Nebraska volleyball starts Big Ten play tonight against Northwestern. Coach says that starting the Big Ten season is the start of a whole new season. The tricky part, though, is that the same team that played, or didn’t play, on Saturday against Louisville is still moving forward into this “whole new season”.
That team has to believe they are moving forward and not taking the baggage that weighed them down into conference play. In other words, can they shake off three straight losses?
The psychology of sport is on display when we watch a highly talented team, like this 2021 Husker volleyball squad, lose as big as they did on Saturday when the wheels absolutely fell off the bus.
