Nebraska heads to Wisconsin looking to rebound from a disappointing 76-68 loss to Purdue on Wednesday at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Huskers dug themselves a 39-18 hole midway through the second quarter, before producing a massive 25-point swing to take a 63-59 lead with 4:30 left in the game. However, Purdue responded with an 11-0 run to regain control over the next three minutes.
Senior guard Nicea Eliely continued her strong play with 15 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals for the Huskers. She scored five straight points midway through the fourth to shoot Nebraska to its four-point lead.
Senior Hannah Whitish makes her final homecoming as a Husker to Wisconsin. Whitish was the 2016 Wisconsin Miss Basketball at Barneveld High School. In two previous trips to Madison as a Husker, Whitish has averaged 12.5 points and 5.5 assists per game but is 0-2.
Scouting The Wisconsin Badgers
• Wisconsin is led by sophomore Imani Lewis. The 6-1 forward is averaging team bests of 15.2 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, including 18.5 points and 11.9 boards in Big Ten play. She had 18 points and 10 rebounds in the first meeting with NU in Lincoln.
• Senior Abby Laszewski, a 6-3 forward, has added 11.1 points and 6.7 rebounds on the season. The Huskers held Laszewski in check with just three points and two rebounds in the first meeting.
As a team, Wisconsin is averaging 64.9 points per game while shooting 41.2 percent from the field, including 29.4 percent from three-point range. UW is averaging 4.6 threes per game.
• UW owns a plus-1.8 rebound margin on the season but a minus-0.7 turnover margin.
• Wisconsin is holding opponents to just 38.6 percent shooting from the field, including 30.8 percent from long range.

(22) Nicea Eliely is 22 points away from 900 in her career.
