Nebraska opens play in the 2025 TIAA Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament by taking on Rutgers Wednesday in Indianapolis.

Tip-off between the No. 10 seed Huskers (19-10, 10-8 Big Ten) and the No. 15 seed Scarlet Knights (11-18, 3-15 Big Ten) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse is set for approximately 5 p.m. (CT) - 25 minutes after the conclusion of Wednesday's first game between No. 12 Washington and No. 13 Minnesota, which begins at 2:30 p.m. (CT).

Live video coverage will be provided for Peacock subscribers with Sloane Martin and Kim Adams on the call.

Nebraska fans can listen across the Huskers Radio Network, including 107.3 FM in Lincoln, 590 AM in Omaha, Huskers.com and the Huskers App. Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch will be on the radio call with pregame beginning at 4:30 p.m. (CT).

The Huskers, who have won two of their last three games, head to Indianapolis following a 98-77 win at Northwestern to close the regular season Sunday. The 98 points were the most by the Huskers against a Big Ten opponent since joining the conference in 2011-12 and marked the fourth time in the last 11 games that the Big Red reached 90 points.

The Huskers are led by four-time All-Big Ten center Alexis Markowski, who is surging down the stretch for the Big Red. The Lisa Leslie Award midseason finalist averaged 24.0 points and 9.8 rebounds over the last seven games of the regular season to increase her team-leading averages to 16.8 points and 8.1 boards. The 6-3 center from Lincoln finished with 30 points on 13-of-19 shooting against Northwestern. Two games earlier, she erupted for a career-high 35 points and a season-high 15 rebounds while tying a career high with six three-pointers in a win over Oregon (Feb. 19).

Markowski, who owns a school-record 51 career double-doubles, has notched double-doubles in four of the last seven games.

The Huskers also welcomed the return of Big Ten All-Freshman selection Britt Prince to the starting lineup against Northwestern. Prince, who missed games with Oregon (Feb. 19) and Washington (Feb. 23) with a lower leg injury suffered in the closing minutes of a loss at Illinois (Feb. 16), had 15 points and six assists against the Wildcats. The 5-11 point guard ranks second among the Huskers in scoring (13.0 ppg), while leading the Big Red in both assists (3.5 apg) and steals (1.8 spg). She also ranks third on the team in rebounding (4.4 rpg).

Husker Hot Takes
• Nebraska will secure its third 20-win season in the last four years, if the Huskers can earn a first-round Big Ten Tournament win over Rutgers.

• The Huskers will be looking to advance to a second game at the Big Ten Tournament for the fourth time in the past five years, including three wins a year ago to advance to the Big Ten Championship Game at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

• Nebraska owns five NET Top 50 wins over No. 21 Michigan State, at No. 25 Maryland, at No. 28 Iowa, over No. 36 Minnesota and over No. 40 Oregon along with top-100 wins over No. 92 Penn State and No. 94 Southeastern Louisiana.

• All 10 of NU's losses have come to NET Top 50 teams, including five true road games - at No. 5 UCLA, at No. 6 USC, at No. 29 Georgia Tech, at No. 30 Creighton, at No. 31 Illinois and at No. 39 Indiana - along with home losses to No. 17 Ohio State, No. 27 Michigan, No. 28 Iowa and No. 43 Washington.

• Alexis Markowski continues her solid play with team bests of 16.8 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The four-time All-Big Ten center ranks second in career points (1,851), rebounds (1,192) and double-doubles (51) among the national center-of-the-year finalists, trailing only Kansas State's seventh-year center Ayoka Lee.

• Lisa Leslie Award finalist Alexis Markowski averaged 24.0 points and 9.8 rebounds over the last seven games while hitting 12-of-23 three-pointers (.522). Markowski has produced double digits in 14 of the last 15 games, including a career-high 35 points and a season-15 rebounds in a win over Oregon (Feb. 19). She added 30 points at Northwestern (March 2), after going for then-career highs of 28 points in NU's 85-80 win over No. 20 Michigan State (Jan. 8) and at Illinois (Feb. 16). Markowski owns a school-record 51 double-doubles, which ranks fourth among active NCAA Division I players. Her most recent double-double came with 19 points and 12 rebounds against Washington (Feb. 23).

• Britt Prince claimed a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team and honorable-mention All-Big Ten honors from both the coaches and the media when awards were announced by the conference on Tuesday, March 4. Prince ranks second among the Huskers in scoring (13.0 ppg), while leading the Big Red in assists (3.5 apg) and steals (1.8 spg), which ranks 10th in the Big Ten.

• Prince, who was the USBWA National Freshman of the Week (Jan. 21), is the most recent of four 2024-25 Huskers to earn Big Ten All-Freshman honors, including Alexis Markowski (2022 Freshman of the Year), Natalie Potts (2024 Freshman of the Year) and Logan Nissley (2024).

• In 12 games away from Pinnacle Bank Arena this season, Husker freshman Britt Prince has averaged 15.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals. All five of her 20-point performances have come on the road, while two of her three career-high eight-rebound efforts and both of her career-best eight-assist performances have been away from PBA.

• Nebraska is in position to earn its third NCAA Tournament bid in the last four years despite playing the past 24 games without 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Natalie Potts, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against North Alabama (Nov. 19). Potts was averaging team bests of 17.5 points and 8.0 rebounds through the first four games prior to her injury.

Huskers Dedicate Season to Injured Teammates

• The Huskers have dedicated their performances the rest of this season to injured teammates Allison Weidner and Natalie Potts, who suffered season-ending knee injuries.

• Nebraska's five-game winning streak (Jan. 5-20) was made more significant after fourth-year guard Allison Weidner suffered a season-ending right leg injury in practice on Jan. 11. It was her third season-ending injury. Weidner, a 5-10 guard from Humphrey, Neb., was coming off her best game of the year with 11 points and six assists in NU's 85-80 win over No. 20 Michigan State (Jan. 8). Despite the injury occurring just hours before the Huskers traveled to Rutgers, the Big Red responded with its first win in Piscataway since 2018. The Huskers added their first win in Iowa City since 2018 and a 31-point home win over Wisconsin (Jan. 20).

• Sophomore Jessica Petrie has provided the most production in place of Natalie Potts, starting 19 games since the injury to the 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, which occurred in the second quarter against North Alabama (Nov. 19). Petrie ranks second on the team in Big Ten rebounding (5.4 rpg) and fourth in scoring (7.4 ppg). Petrie produced her first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds against Washington (Feb. 23), before going for 11 points, eight rebounds and a career-high seven assists in a win at Northwestern (March 2).

• Freshmen Amiah Hargrove and Petra Bozan also have stepped up to honor Potts. Hargrove has scored in double figures six times since the injury to Potts, including her first career double-double with 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in the win at Iowa, and 11 points at Indiana (Feb. 2).

• Bozan has played a major role in support behind Markowski at center while adding flexibility. The 6-5 center averaged 5.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in conference play, including Big Ten double-figure scoring efforts at Indiana (12) and in a win over Wisconsin (10). She also provided significant contributions in Big Ten wins over Northwestern (9 points, 6 rebounds), Minnesota (9 points, 5 rebounds), Penn State (8 points, 6 rebounds) and Rutgers (8 points, 4 rebounds).

Husker Numbers to Watch
• Alexis Markowski (101) produced her 101st game scoring in double figures with 30 points at Northwestern (March 2). She has scored double digits in 25 of 29 games for the Huskers this season, after getting double figures in 32 of 35 games a year ago. She scored 10 or more points 21 times as a freshman and 23 times as a sophomore.

• Markowski (1,192) passed Emily Cady (1,114, 2012-15) at No. 2 on Nebraska's all-time rebounding list with six rebounds against Ohio State (Jan. 26). Janet Smith (1,280, 1979-82) owns the top spot on NU’s career rebound chart. Markowski needs eight rebounds to become just the second Husker in history with 1,200 career boards.

• Alexis Markowski (51) owns the top spot on Nebraska’s career double-doubles list, 11 more than first-team All-Americans Kelsey Griffin (40, 2006-10) and Jordan Hooper (40, 2011-14).

• Markowski (1,851) ranks No. 9 on Nebraska’s all-time scoring list. She needs eight points to match Anna DeForge (1995-98) at No. 8 on the NU all-time scoring list with 1,859 points. DeForge was a WNBA All-Star with the Indiana Fever. Markowski needs 16 points to catch Nicole Kubik (1997-2000) at No. 7 on the Husker career chart (1,867). Kubik was a first-round WNBA Draft pick.

• Kendall Coley (134) is third on the Husker all-time list in games played. Sam Haiby owns the school record with 139.

• Kendall Moriarty (105) played in her 105th consecutive game Sunday at Northwestern.

• Britt Prince (338/114) owns 338 points and 114 rebounds as a true freshman point guard for the Huskers. Nebraska's WNBA first-round draft picks Lindsey Moore and Nicole Kubik did not achieve either 300 points or 100 rebounds as true freshmen starting point guards at Nebraska.

Scouting the Rutgers Scarlet Knights
• Coquese Washington is 2-1 as the Scarlet Knights head coach against Nebraska. She also owns three wins over her former Penn State team, but just five regular-season wins against the rest of the Big Ten since taking the reins of the Rutgers program. She did lead Rutgers to a 63-59 first-round Big Ten Tournament win over Northwestern in 2023.

• The Scarlet Knights secured a trip to Indianapolis with a 75-70 win over Penn State Sunday in Piscataway - the second win for Rutgers over the Lady Lions this season. Destiny Adams led five Scarlet Knights in double figures with 19 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists for her 14th double-double of the year. Lisa Thompson and Mya Petticord each added 13 points, while JoJo Lacey pitched in 12  and Zachara Perkins contributed 10 points.

• Adams, a 6-3 graduate forward, is averaging 17.6 points and a team-best 9.6 rebounds while leading the Scarlet Knights with 26 blocks and 72 steals. She averaged 18.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.0 steals in Big Ten play. Adams had 12 points, 10 rebounds and seven steals in 35 minutes before fouling out in a 69-62 loss to Nebraska in Piscataway (Jan. 12).

• Freshman Kiyomi McMiller led Rutgers with 33 points on 14-of-28 shooting with five threes in the regular-season meeting with Nebraska. McMiller led RU in scoring with 18.7 points per game in 21 games with 19 starts. She has not played for the Scarlet Knights since scoring 14 points in 33 minutes in a loss at Indiana (Feb. 6).

• JoJo Lacey has joined Adams as a consistent presence inside. The 6-1 graduate forward from Boston College is the only Scarlet Knight to start all 29 games this season, averaging 9.6 points and 5.3 rebounds, including 10.2 points with a team-best 29 three-pointers (.358) in league play.

• Newcomer Zachara Perkins, a 6-3 freshman, has pitched in 4.8 points and 2.1 rebounds while making 24 starts. She was scoreless in the first meeting with Nebraska.

• Another veteran, 6-3 graduate center Chyna Cornwell has started nine games including Sunday's win over Penn State. Cornwell is averaging 6.3 points and 7.4 rebounds on the year, but had just two points and three rebounds in 18 minutes against the Huskers in the first meeting. Cornwell has hit a team-best 56.2 percent of her field goals. She had seven points and eight rebounds in last year's Rutgers win in Lincoln, after getting eight points and 12 boards in a 57-45 win over NU (Jan. 7, 2023).

• Sophomore guard Lisa Thompson (5.0 ppg) has made 12 starts for Rutgers, including Sunday's win over Penn State.

• Junior Mya Petticord (6.3 ppg) and sophomore Janae Walker were the only other Scarlet Knights to play in a seven-player rotation in Sunday's win over Penn State. The duo combined for two points and eight fouls in 38 minutes off the bench in the first meeting with the Big Red.

• As a team, Rutgers is averaging 67.4 points, while allowing 71.3 points per game. RU has been nearly even on the glass (-1.3 rpg)  and the turnover department (+0.2 pg). The Scarlet Knights are shooting 39.9 percent from the field, including 29.7 percent from three-point range. Rutgers is also hitting 67 percent of its free throws.

• In the regular-season meeting with Nebraska, Rutgers won the turnover battle, 18-10, but the Huskers dominated the glass, 49-32. Nebraska trailed 57-55 in the fourth quarter at Jersey Mike's Arena, but Prince scored 10 fourth-quarter points to help the Huskers pull away for a 69-62 win. Nebraska hit just 3-of-22 threes against the Scarlet Knights.

Nebraska vs. Rutgers Series History

Husker Freshmen Featuring Efficiency

The Huskers put five in double figures in back-to-back Big Ten wins at Iowa (87-84 OT, Jan. 16) and over Wisconsin (91-60, Jan. 20). In four other games, NU has put four players in double figures with the fifth-highest scorer adding nine points.

• Perhaps the most amazing part of the double-figure scoring performances for the Big Red through 29 games is that all seven games have featured a different group of scorers that have ultimately included all 12 players on the active roster at the start of the season.

• In the victory at No. 17 Maryland (Feb. 13), six Huskers scored double figures, including Alexis Markowski-20, Alberte Rimdal-15, Britt Prince-13, Logan Nissley-11, Jessica Petrie-11 and Callin Hake-10.
