Husker Hot Takes
• With a win over No. 4 UCLA, the Huskers would advance to a fourth game at the Big Ten Tournament for the second straight season after advancing to the 2024 Big Ten Championship Game at the Target Center in Minneapolis. NU also played three Big Ten Tournament games in 2022, falling to Iowa in the tournament semifinals in Indianapolis.
• Nebraska owns six NET Top 50 wins over No. 21 Michigan State, at No. 25 Maryland, at No. 27 Iowa, over No. 31 Illinois, No. 38 Minnesota and over No. 40 Oregon along with top-100 wins over No. 91 Penn State and No. 95 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. 18 Ohio State, No. 27 Iowa, No. 28 Michigan and No. 43 Washington.
• Alexis Markowski continues her solid play with team bests of 16.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The four-time All-Big Ten center ranks second in career points (1,879), rebounds (1,206) and double-doubles (52) among the national center-of-the-year finalists, trailing only Kansas State's seventh-year center Ayoka Lee.
• Lisa Leslie Award finalist Alexis Markowski has averaged 21.8 points and 9.2 rebounds over the last nine games while hitting 15-of-29 three-pointers (.517). Markowski produced 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 52 double-doubles, which ranks fourth among active NCAA Division I players. Her most recent double-double came with 19 points and 10 rebounds against Rutgers in the Big Ten Tournament first round (March 5).
• 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 (3.6 apg) and steals (1.8 spg), which ranks 12th 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 14 games away from Pinnacle Bank Arena this season, Husker freshman Britt Prince has averaged 15.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 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 26 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 21 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 ranked 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). She added 11 points, five rebounds and two blocks in Nebraska's second-round Big Ten Tournament win over Illinois (March 6), when she led a Husker comeback with nine fourth-quarter points.
• Freshmen Amiah Hargrove and Petra Bozan also have stepped up to honor Potts. Hargrove has scored in double figures seven 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). She also tied her career high with 13 points in Wednesday's Big Ten Tournament win over Rutgers.
• Bozan, a 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), Rutgers (9 points, 3 rebounds/8 points, 4 rebounds) and Penn State (8 points, 6 rebounds). She added her sixth double-figure scoring effort of the season with 11 points in Thursday's Big Ten Tournament win over Illinois, after getting nine points on 4-of-4 shooting in an opening-round win over Rutgers (March 5).
Husker Numbers to Watch
• Alexis Markowski (1,879) ranks No. 7 on Nebraska's career scoring list. She needs 21 points to reach 1,900 in her career.

• Markowski (139) has moved to No. 3 on Nebraska's career conference tournament scoring list with 28 points through the tournament's first two games.
• Markowski (102) produced her 102nd game scoring in double figures with 19 points and 10 rebounds in a Big Ten Tournament-opening win over Rutgers (March 5).

• Prince (50) recorded her 50th steal of the season with two steals in the win over Rutgers. She became the first Husker freshman since Nicole Kubik (1996-97) to record 50 steals. Prince needs eight steals to match Amy Stephens (58) for the fifth-best steals total by a freshman in NU history.
