The shade from Cook at the end was so uncalled for considering Nebraska would not have made it this far without Beason

[@Elle253]

I think, instead of bringing up Asia O’Neals “over practices “ Nebraska need to reflect that some of their players just didn’t play well and way too many aces were had.

[@megan631]

sensing a bit of salt from coach cook lol. texas set the bar by showing everyone having superior serve and pass is what wins games. thats it. he's acting like NEB was some ragtag group of girls and not the number 1 seed going into this tournament. so what if texas is a more experienced team? neb faced experienced teams the entirety of the regular season and post season. they swept a pitt team with like 2 or 3 6 year seniors like 3 days ago. nebraska lost because they got outplayed, plain and simple.

[@hey33333]

I kinda expected that when Nebraska lost they were gonna pull the “these girls are young” card.

[@zackd2852]

Harper Murray definitely was a sore loser here during this post-press conference. You can tell in her tone. She needs alot of media training to lose with Grace and Dignity. Lexi Rodriguez held herself here the best among the other two. John Cook shouldn't talk smack against Asjia O'Neal. Be more professional.

[@redninja1133]

Coach acting like he doesn’t recruit top recruits every year automatically

[@jayalakshmilezama3311]

You have to be humble to win. No, international experience does not show you how to serve aggressively, practice does… Asjia wasn’t serving an international level serve, she was just being intelligent and fearless. Don’t diminish their strategy with “international experience”.

[@danielenriquez8316]

ewwww that last comment by coach cook was so sad lmao. like sir let’s not act like you don’t use the transfer portal as well 😂🤡 also funny how 2 Nebraska players have left Nebraska to go to Texas and we possibly have a 3rd on the way. Texas gets nat’s and Nebraska stays mad 😂 the transfer portal is apart of the college game now John. either utilize right, or just get beat every year.

[@mad4sports]

Classless coach reflects on the team. No reason for Cook to mention that last statement about transfers and experienced players for Texas when your team loses. Reality hits you hard

[@mattttt808]

That ending tho. So salty coach.

[@Ciiennaaa]

harper’s sportsmanship and media training is hot garbage. when she is the player who shanked that serve… Lexi was right there.

[@joshvillegas6068]

Good job Nebraska! I know it sucks but you guys are AMAZING. Such a talented and driven team! I know you guys will come out strong next year! Just know you ladies paved the way for many young players and the sport of Volleyball. ❤

[@brenwilliams03]

seeing becca after the game broke my heart truly feel and love for these girls

[@kiaram8688]

The same thing that happened to Sarah Franklin with passing against Texas happened to Harper Murray. Everyone cut these girls slack. Texas was just the better team.

[@petepedersen6138]

Congratulations on a great year, it was a fun ride, we will get that CHAMPIONSHIP next year, GBR

[@elijah8867]

Tough loss. Still a great year of great volleyball by a great team. Keep your heads up and bring it again next year. We're all looking forward to it. You will get a national championship. Just not today.

[@jerrywoosley6345]

Coach, before you complain about Asjia playing her 5th year, try to remember she underwent open heart surgery her freshman year!!!

[@W4TSKY]

Apparently 2 open heart surgeries = extra practice 😂😂😂 what a clown. After this presser I’m glad Cook lost 🤡 feel for the players though. So much great young talent.

[@NESig]

Still a wonderful, wonderful year. Winning the Big 10 is never easy. Get 'em next year! Go Big Red!!!!!!

[@darinaria]

The best thing about this championship game was beating Nebraska. Et beating John Cooke. He's so classless. Dissing Ajshia O'Neal in this venue is inexcusable. He's such a slimeball.
