Changing Choice To Nebraska 'Best Decision Ever' For Hall Of Fame Inductee Ivy

Think about the history of Nebraska basketball with no Maurtice Ivy.

Had Ivy had her say, the Omaha native would've left for the west coast and played for San Diego State. She loved the coach, his style of basketball and, well, the perfect weather.

"It was super enticing," Ivy said.

In her mind, Ivy had decided on the Aztecs over Georgia, Kansas and Iowa, as the Omaha Central star had collected 245 offers.

"I didn't even realize there were that many schools in the country," Ivy said.

OK, so what about Nebraska?

"Nebraska wasn't even really in my Top 10," Ivy said, noting the program was in a building phase, and she wanted to play for a championship team.
