8 games, 8 wins for the Nebraska women's basketball team. 8 more contests are ahead, though, before a conference champion is crowned.

"We have a long season ahead of us," head coach Connie Yori said. "We want to keep plugging away and doing what we're doing."

Nebraska holds a 2-and-a-half game lead in the conference race. The Huskers' edge seems quite comfortable, knowing that their schedule appears to get easier during the second half. Only two ranked opponents remain on the Big Red schedule.

Nebraska returns to action Wednesday at Kansas.
