Nebraska (10-3) comes out of the holiday break with a big one against No. 14 Michigan (11-1) tonight at PBA. Nice crowd flowing in on this Wednesday night. After a collision last week against No. 20 Kansas, Allison Weidner is in a hefty knee brace that will keep her out. Her brace looks very similar to the brace Kenzie Knuckles wore when she tore her ACL, so Weidner could have a similar injury.
On paper, this is certainly a winnable match up for the Huskers who've made the most three-pointers in the Big Ten. The Wolverines are anchored by their defense as they only give up 57.1 points per game which is second in the conference while also being the top free throw shooting team in the Big Ten with a 79.6% from the charity stripe.
I'm expecting Alexis Markowski to be a big factor like she always is. Michigan has the perimeter star power with former Husker Leigha Brown, Emily Kiser and Laila Phelia, but they struggle to rebound with 37.5 rebounds per game which is 11th in the Big Ten.
