Nebraska will play six of its nine home Big Ten games against 2025 NCAA Tournament qualifiers, the Huskers announced on Wednesday, April 30 with the conference’s release of its home and away plays for the 2025-26 women’s basketball season.
The Huskers, who earned their second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament, will play a loaded 18-game schedule again in the coming season, including home games against fellow 2025 NCAA qualifiers UCLA, USC, Iowa, Maryland, Illinois and Indiana. The Big Red will round out its home Big Ten schedule against Rutgers, Purdue and Northwestern.
Nebraska’s road schedule also features six battles with 2025 NCAA qualifiers, including Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Oregon and Washington, along with trips to Minnesota, Penn State and Wisconsin. The Huskers will be making their first Big Ten trips to both Oregon and Washington during the regular season.
In 2024-25, Nebraska finished with a 21-12 overall record that included a 10-8 Big Ten mark. The Huskers also won two games at the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis before taking on Louisville in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Fort Worth, Texas.
Nebraska returns 2025 Big Ten All-Freshman and honorable-mention all-conference point guard Britt Prince, along with 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Natalie Potts, who missed Nebraska’s final 28 games a year ago after suffering a season-ending injury in the fifth contest.
Potts and Prince will return as sophomores to lead the Huskers along with fellow sophomores Petra Bozan and Amiah Hargrove, who both played in all 33 games for Nebraska in 2024-25. Junior Logan Nissley, a 2024 Big Ten All-Freshman selection, and fellow junior Jessica Petrie also return after successful seasons as starters last season. Senior Callin Hake, another returning starter, joins Allison Weidner and redshirt freshman Kennadi Williams in Nebraska’s group of returning players, alongside newcomers Emily Fisher, Eliza Maupin, Alanna Neale and Hailey Weaver.
