Nebraska Looks to Snap Skid at Washington in Big Ten Clash SEATTLE (Interstat) — The Nebraska women’s basketball team aims to halt a six-game losing streak when it visits Washington for a Big Ten Conference matchup Sunday at Hec Edmundson Pavilion. The Cornhuskers (16-10 overall) are in a late-season slump, with their last win coming Jan. 28 against Northwestern. Their most recent loss was 80-76 at Oregon on Thursday. Nebraska’s offense has struggled during the skid, failing to reach 70 points in four of the six losses. Washington (19-8), meanwhile, looks to rebound after an 82-67 loss at UCLA on Thursday. The Huskies have been inconsistent in conference play but boast a stronger overall record and have shown resilience, including a double-overtime win at Maryland and an overtime victory at Wisconsin this month. The game features a compelling backcourt matchup. Nebraska will lean on guard Britt Prince, who is coming off an 18-point, five-assist performance against Oregon. Over her last eight games, Prince is averaging 16.1 points and 4.1 assists. She will be countered by Washington’s versatile Avery Howell. Howell is capable of explosive performances, evidenced by a 34-point, 14-rebound effort in the win at Wisconsin on Feb. 8. She logged 40 minutes and scored 17 points in the loss to UCLA. For Nebraska, support for Prince will be crucial. Logan Nissley (15 points, five assists vs. Oregon) and Jessica Petrie (12 points) were productive in the last outing. Washington counters with a balanced attack; freshman Brynn McGaughy scored 19 points against UCLA, and guard Sayvia Sellers averages 14 points and 7 assists from that game. The Huskies hold the edge in the standings and will have home-court advantage in Seattle. Nebraska, seeking a critical win to stabilize its postseason resume, must find answers for its recent offensive droughts and contain Howell’s multifaceted game. Tip-off is set for Sunday afternoon. Nebraska’s next game is at home against Rutgers on Feb. 28. Washington travels to face Oregon on March 1.
