Ty needs to be appreciated and thanked for all he has done throughout his career at Nebraska IMO.
He showed flashes young and he stayed the course here at Nebraska and developed into a complete Beast and difference maker!
We will miss him I’m sure. He was a great example for our program!

Thank you and good luck in your future NFL career!

Basketball Britt Prince named National Freshman of the Week


Prince Captures National Honor
Huskers.com

Lincoln - Nebraska women's basketball point guard Britt Prince was named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Team of the Week when the organization announced its award winners on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

The 5-11 point guard from Omaha was named the USBWA's Freshman of the Week for the first time following her 22-point performance in Nebraska's 87-84 overtime win at Iowa (Jan. 16). The two-time Nebraska High School Player of the Year at Elkhorn North connected on a career-high five three-pointers, including a clutch step-back three to tie the game at 75 in the closing minute to help the Huskers erase an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit against the Hawkeyes.

She added two free throws with 2.8 seconds left in front of 15,000 hostile Hawkeye fans to send the game to overtime. Prince added seven rebounds and a career-high six steals against the Hawkeyes in a tremendous all-around performance.

Prince, who was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday, followed with an impressive 14-point, seven-rebound effort in Nebraska's 31-point win over visiting Wisconsin at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln on Monday night.

During Nebraska's current five-game Big Ten winning streak, Prince is averaging 16.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.0 steals to help Nebraska move to 15-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten. The only conference losses for the Huskers have come at No. 1 UCLA and No. 4 USC in back-to-back games over the holiday break.

Prince, who has scored in double figures 14 times in her 18 starts including four 20-point performances, is averaging 13.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and a team-leading 1.9 steals for the Huskers.

Prince earned Nebraska's first USBWA Freshman-of-the-Week award since current senior Alexis Markowski captured the honor on Jan. 11, 2022. In between, Markowski (2022) and Natalie Potts (2024) were named Big Ten Freshmen of the Year for the Huskers.

Nebraska puts a Big Ten-best 15-game home winning streak on the line Sunday when the Huskers play host to No. 12 Ohio State in Pack PBA. Tip-off with the Buckeyes is set for 2 p.m. (CT), with tickets available now at Huskers.com.
