D.P. out for the day.

We have a few minutes here, and so I want to give Hermann an opportunity to kind of preview this team as, again, first match with James Madison coming up here, January 16th. So just over a month away, you're just telling me James Madison, a pretty good program. What is Nebraska throwing out there this year? as far as your roster goes. Yeah, we're excited. We're excited. I think this year we're bringing a new addition in January,

and then we have eight players that were here this fall, and we're really excited about this group. You know, they're working hard, and they're eager. You know, they're a very united group, so I'm excited to just see what we bring every day, you know, to matches. And we play a pretty good schedule this spring, you know, Our non-conference, they will be challenged quite a bit. I mean, it started off, I think, James Madison, the first match of the year.

They're a pretty solid team. You know, they're a team that finishes, you know, second or third or close to winning in. The Sunbelt, and Sanbel is a strong conference. And, yeah, so we're excited for the challenge. And then we're a little more on the road on non-conference this year. We got to KU, and KU was an Encelblade team, you know, their number one was a lower American, good team. the host case stay here we go to Wichita

which it's another strong program and so yeah we're excited you know we would like to challenge our team and non-conference too and so we're doing that but also hopefully prepare us well for big 10 play yeah it's interesting during the break and

I know it's not this way in every sport I asked you how much say you had in the non-con in setting that up you said you have full controls so yeah that's very cool is that something that you do like one year in advance or how quickly these things come together? Yeah, I mean, sometimes we try to do a home-on-home with quite a few teams. You know, so if we don't, then we try to bring teams here and then we try to bring a couple

teams over and then they play us and somebody else and then we play both of those teams. And then, yeah, I have full say on the non-conference and we try to challenge our team. We try to play maybe similar to some big-ten schools. We would like to see different teams that we don't see, you know, often. So I think it's good, you know, to play all that. And then sometimes coaches that are, you know, that we get along, you know, and then we work well together. So that's helpful.

And then, yeah, we try to do a home home with some of them. You know, that's what we're doing with Kansas and Wichita. You know, we're actually going to their place this year. They come to us the following year. And then we'll try to kind of keep that going. And then we'll try to, you know, go to places where we usually don't go. I think one match is on the schedule. I think we're going to college of Charleston Southern.

I think in the end of February, it just kind of confirmed actually this morning on that. I talked to the coach and, you know, trying to go play outside a match and a team that they actually, they usually win every year to their conference pretty easily. So I think they're going to challenge us and just being an outside match for the first time in the spring. it will be a challenge to get adjusted to that so we'll go there and try to prepare

before a big 10 play so yeah it's exciting it's you know sometimes you schedule a couple years in advance in a few matches and sometimes

a year before sometimes we go depending how that team is doing you know if they're doing well or no and then you know you do want teams that are kind of doing well

so it can help you you know and then depending on the roster you have kind of how you want to challenge yourself or no so we I usually reserve one or two open dates to kind of see what we got

and then we go us, you know? Does it factor in like an RPI or strength of schedule, you know, being in the Big Ten, I know you've got some pretty tough battles there regardless. Absolutely. We don't really have an RPI in tennis. Okay. Or we don't have kind of one of those strength of schedule rankings and all that.

But it matters to us a little bit because we know that, hey, if those teams are going to be doing well, you know, in their conference and they're going to be ranked higher than sometimes maybe you do want to play them, you know, because if you beat them, then you'll help your ranking. Okay. So it does, you know, help us. But also you want to balance, you know, between, you know, our big tennis is very strong, you know, so we, you also want to schedule a few, maybe a few matches that will kind of

help your team develop that, you know, the toughness or develop, you know, like how learning how to win or learning how to compete and, you know, all that. So we have a good balance, you know, in non-conference between, you know, a little bit of everything. And then once you get to the Big Ten, you know, it's tough, you know. So it's good. It's excited. Well, again, the tennis and women's tennis is just over a month away. So looking forward to the start of that.
