DURHAM, NC — Since jumping out of his chair on Sunday night when he saw his team included in the Women's NCAA Tournament field for the third consecutive season, Richmond head coach Aaron Roussell has been watching a whole lot of film on Nebraska. And as Roussell studied the Spiders’ March Madness opponent, it was a little bit like looking in the mirror. “That's what we used to look like.
That's how we were constructed last year, a little bit this year,” Roussell said Tuesday. “You look at the makeup of them — everybody on that team can shoot, everybody has a high IQ, can move, they're athletic, they push the pace. It's a really enjoyable style to watch.
Maybe not the most enjoyable to prepare for on a short notice, but it's been great to watch them. It's definitely going to be a daunting task for us. ” The Cornhuskers and the Spiders will square off in the first game of the 2026 Women’s NCAA Tournament on Wednesday night in Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Richmond and Nebraska tip off at 7 p. m. ET on ESPN.
