Inside the Husker Lineup
• Britt Prince, who was named to the Nancy Lieberman Award Midseason Top 10 on Feb. 2, is one of the nation's most efficient guards. The 5-11 point guard out of Elkhorn North High School in the Omaha metro area, is hitting 55.2 percent (185-335) of her field goals, 46.1 percent (35-76) of her three-point attempts and 92.3 percent (84-91) of her free throws. Prince, who also leads the Huskers in assists (119) and steals (43), leads the Big Ten and ranks third in the nation in free throw percentage (.923). She owned a school-record streak (men's or women's basketball) of 56 straight made free throws before missing her first attempt of the Big Ten season (54-54) against Iowa on Monday (Feb. 16). She is 64-of-66 (.970) in league play. Nebraska's leading scorer, Prince ranks 11th in the Big Ten in scoring (17.5 ppg) and 13th in assists (4.3 apg). She owns nine 20-point efforts, including a pair of 30-point games this season. Prince has produced double figures 25 times this season.

• Fellow sophomore Amiah Hargrove is emerging as a star in the conference. A contender for Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year, Hargrove ranks second on the team in scoring (12.5 ppg) while leading the Huskers in rebounding (5.6 rpg). She had 24 points and six rebounds in her second start in place of Jessica Petrie (illness) at Ohio State (Feb. 1). It followed Hargrove's second double-double of the year with 13 points and 11 rebounds in her first start of the year in a win over Northwestern (Jan. 28). The 6-2 forward from Christopher, Ill., opened Big Ten play with a career-high 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting (4-5 3FG) at Penn State (Dec. 6). She added 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting at No. 15 Michigan State (Jan. 15). Hargrove is shooting 54 percent from the field, including 41.2 percent from long range and 79.7 percent from the free throw line. She has hit 52.8 percent (19-36) of her threes in league play.  She missed the loss at No. 14 Iowa (Jan. 1) after suffering a mild concussion late in the loss to No. 17 USC (Dec. 29). She has produced double figures 20 times this season.

• Junior Jessica Petrie has provided consistency and leadership. The 6-2 forward from Gold Coast, Australia, ranks third on the team in scoring (11.4 ppg) and second in rebounding (4.6 rpg), but missed the first games of her Nebraska career with illness in the win over Northwestern (Jan. 28) and a loss at No. 11 Ohio State (Feb. 1). She returned in a somewhat limited role off the bench at No. 8 Michigan (Feb. 4). Petrie, who has produced double figures 17 times, has scored at least seven points in all 26 of her games this season. She also leads Nebraska with a career-high 27 blocks and owns a career-high 28 steals this season after getting 12 total steals her first two years.

• Junior Logan Nissley has made 15 straight starts. The 6-0 guard from Bismarck, N.D., has averaged 12.3 points on 46.3 percent (37-80) shooting over the last nine games. She erupted for a career-high 22 points and a career-best 6-of-12 three-point shooting against Maryland (Feb. 7). She opened the seven-game stretch with 15 points in a win over Illinois (Jan. 24) and struck for 15 more along with five rebounds and five assists at Oregon (Feb. 19). She hit for 14 points on four threes in a win over Northwestern (Jan. 28). Nissley, who had 11 points at No. 11 Ohio State and pitched in 12 points and four assists at Minnesota (Feb. 12), also ranks high on the efficiency scale. She has hit 46.8 percent (75-163) from the field, including 43.3 percent (55-127) from three-point range and 89 percent (24-27) of her free throws. Nissley is averaging 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists with a 1.7 assist-to-turnover ratio. She ranks No. 7 in Nebraska history in three-pointers made (169).

• Callin Hake provides veteran leadership and an emotional heartbeat for the Big Red while joining Prince, Petrie and Nissley as returning starters from a year ago. Hake, a 5-8 senior guard from Victoria, Minn., is averaging 7.2 points and 3.8 assists while hitting 34.2 percent (38-111) of her threes. Hake, who has added 38 steals, also leads the Big Red with 28 charges drawn through 28 games. She has scored double figures eight times, including a season-high 17 in a win over Omaha.

• Senior transfer Eliza Maupin provides another starting option for the Huskers. The 6-3 forward from Webster Groves, Mo., is averaging 7.9 points and 4.4 rebounds over 24 games with 10 starts. She notched her second double-double of the year with 13 points and a career-high 13 rebounds at Wisconsin (Jan. 21). She had her first Husker double-double with 12 points and 11 boards at Iowa, before getting 11 points, six boards, three assists, two steals and a block against Iowa (Feb. 16). She did not play at Washington after suffering a lower leg injury in the first half at Oregon (Feb. 19).

• Nebraska plays a deep rotation that includes 6-3 sophomore Petra Bozan (15 starts, 6.8 ppg, 3.4 rpg), 6-0 graduate guard Hailey Weaver (13 starts, 2.8 ppg, 2.0 rpg), 5-8 sophomore Claire Johnson (3.3 ppg), 5-4 redshirt freshman Kennadi Williams (2.5 ppg, 2.4 apg) and 6-0 junior Emily Fisher (1.8 ppg, 1.5 rpg).

Potts Announces Plan To Redshirt, Return in 2026-27
• Nebraska redshirt sophomore Natalie Potts will not return to the court in competition this season as she continues her rehabilitation from injury.

• Potts, who made the announcement on Thursday, Jan. 29, plans to return for her fourth year at Nebraska in 2026-27 with up to three years of eligibility remaining.

• “I am making slow but steady progress, and I appreciate the thoughts and encouragement of Husker fans everywhere,” Potts said. “I love my teammates and coaches and will give them my full support as we push for the postseason. I really want to be out there fighting to win with them, but I am just not in position to do that yet.”

• Potts, who was the 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, suffered a knee injury in the fifth game of the 2024-25 season against North Alabama (Nov. 19). The 6-2 forward from O’Fallon, Mo., underwent surgery Dec. 4, 2024, and was eligible for a medical redshirt last season.

• She hoped to return to practice midway through the 2025-26 season, but her participation has been limited while she regains strength.  Potts has recently returned to active participation in Nebraska game-day shoot-arounds, but she will not return to competition this season.

• Potts, who earned a spot on the preseason top 20 list for the Katrina McClain Award, will be eligible to take a redshirt this season.

• “Natalie is working diligently and progressing with her rehabilitation,” Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said. “At this time, we believe that it is in the best interest of her long-term health to give her more time to continue to progress and gain confidence with her return to full participation.”

• In 2023-24, Potts was a unanimous choice to the Big Ten All-Freshman team from the conference coaches and was an honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection by the league media. Potts started all 35 games for a Nebraska team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after working its way to the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game. She averaged 10.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game on the season.

• Through the first four games of her sophomore season, Potts averaged 17.5 points and 8.0 rebounds, before suffering her injury 10 minutes into the game with North Alabama at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.

• In 2023-24, Potts led all Big Ten freshmen in rebounding (5.2 rpg) and field goal percentage (.489), while ranking second among league freshmen in scoring (10.2 ppg) and free throw percentage (.829) in 2023-24. She started all 35 games for the 23-12 Huskers, who advanced to the Big Ten Championship Game and the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

She added 16 points and a team-high rebounds at No. 8 Michigan (Feb. 4).

• Junior Jessica Petrie has totaled 296 points through 26 games, surpassing her previous season-best total of 210 points (2024-25) in 67 fewer minutes.
