(Lots more information on Game Page)
• Kansas enters the game with a 7-0 record after back-to-back home wins over UMKC (63-48) and Arkansas (71-60) last week. The Huskers (5-3) also posted back-to-back home wins over UMKC (80-60) and Arkansas (80-69) in mid-November.
• Nebraska features one of the youngest lineups in the Big Ten with freshmen Taylor Kissinger (14.0 ppg) and Kate Cain (10.6 ppg) leading the Huskers in scoring through eight games. Sophomores Hannah Whitish (8.6 ppg) and Nicea Eliely (7.6 ppg) rank third and fourth in scoring, respectively, for second-year Nebraska head coach Amy Williams.
• The Husker roster includes three players from the state of Kansas (Emily Wood, Salina; Rachel Blackburn, Leavenworth; Grace Mitchell, Wellington). Wood is coming off the best performance of her career with 12 points on 4-of-8 three-point shooting in a win over Arkansas Pine Bluff. The former walk-on also tied career highs with four rebounds and three steals while making her third start of the season.
• The Jayhawks are off to an unbeaten start despite playing without their top returning scorer from a year ago, Jessica Washington, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in preseason practice. Washington, a 5-8 senior guard, averaged 17.1 points and 4.1 rebounds per game last season.
• As a team, Kansas owns a plus-17.8 points per game scoring margin (72.4-54-6) and a plus-11.7 team rebounding margin (46.9-35.1). However, the Jayhawks have a minus-0.6 team turnover margin. KU is shooting 43.3 percent from the field, including 33.3 percent from three-point range. The Jayhawks have hit 68.1 percent of their free throws and have outscored their opponents by 4.4 points per game at the line.
