Huskers Return to Big Ten Road Action at Purdue Thursday

The Nebraska women’s basketball team goes in search of a third straight Big Ten Conference road win when the Huskers take on Purdue Thursday in West Lafayette, Ind.

Tip-off between Nebraska (15-5, 6-3 Big Ten) and the Boilermakers (7-13, 0-9 Big Ten) at Mackey Arena is set for 6 p.m. (CT) with a live video stream available to B1G+ subscribers.

Nebraska fans can listen across the Huskers Radio Network, including 107.3 FM in Lincoln, Huskers.com and the Huskers App. Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch will be on the radio call with pregame beginning at 5:30 p.m. (CT).

The Huskers had their five-game Big Ten winning streak snapped with a narrow 72-66 loss to No. 12 Ohio State on Sunday in Lincoln. Nebraska led throughout the first half before the Buckeyes surged to a six-point lead at the end of three quarters. Nebraska cut the margin to 65-64 with two minutes left, but OSU made the plays down the stretch to improve to 19-1 and 8-1 in the league.

Three-time All-Big Ten center Alexis Markowski put up double-figure points for the seventh straight game with a team-high 18 points to go with six rebounds against the Buckeyes. The 6-3 center from Lincoln is the only Husker to start all 20 games and leads the team in scoring (14.7 ppg) and rebounding (8.1 rpg). Last year in Nebraska's 77-65 win at Purdue (Feb. 17), Markowski produced one of the biggest games in Husker history with 20 points and 21 rebounds.

Markowski has increased her career rebounding total to 1,118 to move ahead of Emily Cady (1,114) into the No. 2 spot on the Husker all-time list.

Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year candidate Britt Prince continues to surge in conference play. Prince was the USBWA National Freshman-of-the-Week (Jan. 21). The 5-11 point guard from Omaha is averaging 15.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.0 steals over the past six games. She ranks fifth among Big Ten freshmen in scoring overall on the season with 13.3 points, while adding 4.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 steals on the year.

Sophomore power forward Jessica Petrie has continued to step up her play in place of injured 2024 Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year Natalie Potts. Over the past four games, Petrie has averaged 11.5 points and 7.0 rebounds while hitting 17-of-28 shots (.607) from the field, including 7-of-13 three-point attempts (.538). Potts, who was lost for the season with a knee injury in the fifth game of the season, was Nebraska's leading scorer (14.4 ppg) and rebounder (7.4 rpg) at the time of her injury.

Husker Hot Takes

• Nebraska's five-game Big Ten regular-season win streak (MSU, Jan. 8 - WIS, Jan. 20) was its longest since winning five straight conference games (Jan. 16-Feb. 1, 2018) during the 2017-18 season. The Huskers did win five consecutive games against Big Ten foes in 2021-22 with three wins in the final regular-season conference contests before adding two wins in the Big Ten Tournament. Both the 2018 and 2022 teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament under Coach Amy Williams.

• All five of Nebraska's losses this season have come to NET Top 35 teams, including four true road games - at No. 4 UCLA, at No. 5 USC, at No. 20 Georgia Tech and at No. 33 Creighton - along with the Big Red's first home loss of the year to No. 14 Ohio State.

• Nebraska's three Big Ten losses have to come to the conference's top three teams (AP No. 1 UCLA, No. 4 USC, No. 8 Ohio State) which have a combined league mark of 24-1. Nebraska owns wins over fourth-place No. 16 Michigan State and fellow fifth-place team Minnesota. Maryland's three league losses have also come to UCLA, USC and Ohio State, while Oregon (6-3) has lost to USC and Ohio State but has not played UCLA. Minnesota plays at USC and UCLA this week, while Michigan State plays UCLA, USC and Ohio State in the last five games of the season.

• In seven games away from Pinnacle Bank Arena this season, Husker freshman Britt Prince is averaging 16.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.9 steals. All four of her 20-point performances have come on the road, while two of her three career-high eight-rebound efforts have been away from PBA.

• Lisa Leslie Award candidate Alexis Markowski has averaged 17.3 points and 8.7 rebounds over the last six games for Nebraska, upping her team-best season averages to 14.7 points and 8.1 boards per game. The only Husker to start all 20 games this year, the 6-3 center scored a career-high 28 points in NU's 85-80 win over No. 20 Michigan State (Jan. 8). Markowski owns a school-record 47 career double-doubles, which ranks fourth among active NCAA Division I players. Her most recent double-double came with 14 points and 14 rebounds at Rutgers (Jan. 12).

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 recent success was made more significant after fourth-year guard Allison Weidner suffered a season-ending right leg injury in practice on Jan. 11. It was Weidner's third season-ending injury. Weidner, a 5-10 guard from Humphrey, Neb., was coming off her best game of the season with 11 points and six assists in Nebraska's 85-80 win over No. 20 Michigan State (Jan. 8), which followed a win over Penn State. 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 followed up with 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 10 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 third among the Huskers in Big Ten scoring (8.2 ppg) and fourth in rebounding (4.4 rpg). Over the past four games, Petrie has averaged 11.5 points and 7.0 rebounds.

• Freshmen Amiah Hargrove and Petra Bozan also have stepped up to honor Potts. Hargrove has scored in double figures five times in the last 14 games, including her first career double-double with 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in the win at Iowa.

• Bozan has played a major role in support behind Markowski at center while adding flexibility. The 6-5 center is averaging 5.7 points and 3.5 rebounds, including her first Big Ten double-figure scoring effort with 10 points on 4-for-4 shooting in the win over Wisconsin. She also provided significant contributions in Big Ten wins over Minnesota (9 points, 5 rebounds), Penn State (8 points, 6 rebounds) and Rutgers (8 points, 4 rebounds).

• Kendall Moriarty erupted for a career-high 17 points to go with four rebounds, three assists, a block and a steal in the win over Wisconsin. Moriarty, who tied a career best by hitting 3-of-4 three-pointers, had scored just 16 total points in the previous nine games.

• Alberte Rimdal dished out a career-high eight assists in the win over Wisconsin. Rimdal, a 5-9 guard from Koge, Denmark, owns Nebraska's best assist-to-turnover ratio (2.27) and has 17 assists and just five turnovers (3.40-to-1) over the last four games while averaging 4.3 assists per game.

Husker Numbers to Watch

• Markowski (1,118) 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.

• Alexis Markowski (47) owns the top spot on Nebraska’s career double-doubles list, seven more than first-team All-Americans Kelsey Griffin (40, 2006-10) and Jordan Hooper (40, 2011-14).

• Markowski (1,657) ranks No. 12 on Nebraska’s all-time scoring list. She needs 16 points to match first-round WNBA Draft pick Lindsey Moore (2010-13) at No. 11 on the NU all-time scoring list with 1,673 points.

• Callin Hake (490) needs 10 points to reach 500 in her career.

• Amiah Hargrove (97) needs three points to reach 100 in her career.

• Britt Prince (90) needs 10 rebounds to reach 100 in her career.

Scouting the Purdue Boilermakers

• Fourth-year Purdue head coach Katie Gearlds leads a hungry Boilermaker bunch in search of their first Big Ten win. Purdue went 7-4 in non-conference play but has struggled to an 0-9 conference mark following a 74-38 loss at Illinois on Monday night.

• The Boilermakers have been affected by injuries to 2023-24 contributors Alaina Harper, Mila Reynolds and Jayla Smith, the 2021 Indiana High School Player of the Year.

• The injuries have left the Boilers searching for a starting five, largely from a new group of players.

• Two-time transfer Destini Lombard, who began her career at LSU before starring at Stephen F. Austin, is the only Boilermaker to start all 20 games this season. Lombard, who was the WAC Defensive Player of the Year, leads Purdue at both ends of the court averaging team bests of 11.5 points, 2.3 steals, while adding 3.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Lombard is also Purdue's most consistent three-point threat, knocking down a team-best 34 threes (.425).

• Freshman forward Lana McCarthy has been thrust into a starting role with injuries inside to older Boilermaker teammates. The 6-3 McCarthy has started 19 games, averaging 6.7 points and 5.0 rebounds in 18 minutes per game. McCarthy has committed a team-high 57 fouls and a team-high 47 turnovers while hitting just 29 percent (9-31) of her free throws.

• Fifth-year guard Ella Collier has made 17 starts in her first season after transferring from NAIA Marion (Ind.), where Gearlds served as her head coach during her freshman season. Collier, who was a four-time All-American and two-time NAIA Player of the Year, ranks second among the Boilermakers with 23 three-pointers (.383). She is averaging 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

• Senior transfer Reagan Bass has been a regular starter for the Boilers. The 6-2 forward, who spent her first three years at Eastern Illinois, is averaging 8.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

• McKenna Layden has earned three recent starts. The 6-2 sophomore is averaging 3.5 points and 3.4 rebounds after missing much of the early portion of the season with a foot injury.

• Sophomore Rashunda Jones, who was one of the most explosive freshmen in the Big Ten a year ago, also has moved into the starting five on a part-time basis. Jones is averaging 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and a team-best 3.1 assists.

• Another impact freshman for Purdue a year ago, Sophie Swanson has made six starts. The 5-10 sophomore is averaging 6.1 points per game but has hit just 22-of-82 threes (.268). Swanson hit 39.4 percent of her threes a year ago including seven on the way to a career-high 25 points in a loss to Nebraska in the Big Ten Tournament in Minneapolis (March 7).

• Kendall Puryear, a 6-3 freshman, has been a reliable contributor off the bench averaging 6.1 points and 3.6 rebounds while hitting a team-best 51.5 percent of her shots from the field.

• Amiyah Reynolds (2.2 ppg, 2.5 rpg), Mahri Petree (3.3 ppg, 1.7 rpg) and Jordyn Poole (2.8 ppg) also have been regular contributors this season. Poole was carried off the floor with a foot/ankle injury late in the loss at Illinois.

Husker Freshmen Featuring Efficiency
• Britt Prince is the leader of a talented freshman trio for Nebraska. While Prince has earned headlines by starting at point guard and putting up some of the best numbers in history by a Big Red rookie, fellow freshmen Amiah Hargrove and Petra Bozan have been dynamic inside.

• Hargrove produced her first career double-double and fifth double-figure scoring effort of the season with 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in a career-high 28 minutes in an overtime win at Iowa (Jan. 16). She hit 3-of-4 shots including 2-of-3 threes and both free throws against the Hawkeyes while adding a career-high two blocks.

• Hargrove erupted for a career-high 13 points in a win over Tarleton State (Dec. 11). She hit 5-of-6 shots, including a three-pointer, while adding three rebounds and a steal. She also led Nebraska with 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting at No. 1 UCLA (Dec. 29). She also had 10 points and eight rebounds in a Big Ten-opening win over previously unbeaten Minnesota (Dec. 8).

• The 6-1 forward from Christopher, Ill., added 10 points and seven rebounds in a win over Kansas City (Nov. 26). She made back-to-back starts against Chattanooga (Dec. 15) and No. 17 Georgia Tech (Dec. 21). Hargrove also played a major role in NU's win over No. 20 Michigan State (Jan. 8) with seven points and six rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench.

• On the season, Hargrove has produced per 40 minute averages of 14.2 points and 10.7 rebounds while hitting 48.5 percent of her shots from the field, including 47.8 percent of her threes (11-23).

• Bozan, a 6-5 center from Croatia, owns four-double digit scoring efforts, including 12 in an opening-day win over Omaha and 11 against Southeastern Louisiana (Nov. 9). She went a combined 9-for-11 from the field, including 4-for-4 from three-point range in those two games. Bozan added 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting in a win over Lindenwood (Dec. 3), before getting her first double-digit effort in Big Ten play with 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting in a win over Wisconsin (Jan. 20). She also had nine points and five rebounds in her Big Ten debut against Minnesota (Dec. 8). She added seven points at UCLA (Dec. 29), as the Husker freshmen provided three of NU's top four scorers against the top-ranked Bruins. Bozan pitched in eight points and six rebounds in just 11 minutes to help the Huskers push past Penn State (Jan. 5). She added another big effort with eight points and four boards in 12 minutes off the bench in Nebraska's Big Ten road win at Rutgers (Jan. 12).

• On the season, Bozan has produced per 40 minute averages of 19.0 points and 11.6 rebounds while hitting 50 percent of her shots from the field, including 33.3 percent (6-18) of her threes.

Big Red Spreads Scoring
• Nebraska has put at least five players in double figures in six of its 20 games this season, including back-to-back Big Ten wins at Iowa (87-84 OT, Jan. 16) and over Wisconsin (91-60, Jan. 20). In three 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 20 games is that all six 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 win over Wisconsin (Jan. 20), five Huskers put up double figures, including Kendall Moriarty-17, Jessica Petrie-15, Britt Prince-14, Alexis Markowski-12 and Petra Bozan-10.

• In the win at Iowa (Jan. 16), five Huskers put up double figures, including Britt Prince-22, Alexis Markowski-19, Logan Nissley-13, Jessica Petrie-13 and Amiah Hargrove-10.

• In the opener with Omaha (Nov. 4), six Huskers produced double-digit points, including Alexis Markowski-14, Natalie Potts-14, Petra Bozan-12, Logan Nissley-12, Allison Weidner-11 and Britt Prince-10.
