The Huskers commenced the 2024 portion of the season with a road game against Wisconsin. Nebraska pulled away from the Badgers in the first half, building a 38-27 lead heading into the locker rooms. Even with Wisconsin pulling within one point by the fourth quarter, the Huskers managed to snuff out the spark and secured a 69-57 win.
A duo led Nebraska in scoring. Freshman Natalie Potts and Alexis Markowski combined for 29 points and 16 rebounds in the outing. Potts led the way with 16 points, going seven-of-ten in total shooting and earning a season-high three steals.
Markowski scored 13 points in the win and secured 11 rebounds to earn her ninth double-double of the season. The win also saw a Husker reach a big milestone. Maddie Krull surpassed 700 career points right at the start of the game, becoming the 60th Husker to earn the achievement.
Nebraska is now 11-3 and will face its next big test, No. 14 Indiana, at home on Sunday afternoon. Tipoff is set for 1:00 p.m. and can be viewed on the Big Ten Network.
