Iowa is in the midst of its first three-game losing streak since 2018. The Hawkeyes have lost to Maryland (74-66), Illinois (62-57) and Indiana (74-67), and as a result, have dropped out of the Association Press top 25 and sit in 13th place in the Big Ten.

Nebraska, meanwhile, has followed a three-game skid with a run of three consecutive wins, highlighted by a home victory over No. 20 Michigan State.

The Huskers are second in the Big Ten in 3-point percentage (.348).

Alexis Markowski is averaging 14.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, and has posted 47 double-doubles in her career.

Lucy Olsen leads Iowa in scoring at 16.4 points per game, followed by Hannah Stuelke (12.8) and Addison O’Grady (12.5).

O’Grady leads the Big Ten in field-goal percentage (.676) and is fourth nationally in that statistic.
