Q&A with Chandler Smith

Chandler Smith has overcome injury and adversity to play a significant role off the bench for Nebraska as a true freshman in 2014-15. The 6-0 guard from Brewster, Wash., missed 14 of Nebraska's first 15 games with a foot injury but returned to the court for NU's final 14 Big Ten regular-season games.

Smith made her first career start at Rutgers on Feb. 5, and the next game at No. 5 Maryland produced career highs of seven points and seven rebounds against the Terrapins.

Chandler took time out from her busy schedule to answer a few questions and give us a little more insight into her life off the court.
