Nebraska's Natalie Potts captured her conference-leading seventh Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week award of 2023-24 when the league announced its honors on Monday, Feb. 26.
- Potts, a 6-2 forward from O'Fallon, Mo., averaged 15.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals to help power Nebraska to a pair of home wins last week. In a 75-50 victory over Northwestern on Tuesday, Potts produced her fourth double-double of the season with game highs of 18 points, 10 rebounds and three steals. She closed out the week with 12 points, seven rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot in a 70-51 win over Minnesota at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Saturday.
Natalie Potts brought home her eighth Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week award of the 2023-24 season, when the conference announced its honors on Monday, March 4.
Potts, who won eight of the 15 weekly honors, was the conference's most consistent freshman from start to finish this season. She captured the first and last freshman awards of the year and won at least one weekly award in all five months of the season. Her eight weekly honors matched the total by Nebraska's most recent Big Ten Freshman of the Year Alexis Markowski in 2021-22. No other conference freshman has claimed more than three weekly honors this season.
