Nebraska to Host Three Sweet Sixteen Qualifiers
The Big Ten Conference has announced the 2022-23 slate of league games and Nebraska's schedule is loaded.
After going 24-9, making the Big Ten Tournament semifinals, and qualifying for the NCAA Tournament last year, the Huskers were handed a quality schedule to test them throughout the year. Eight contests will feature opponents that won at least one NCAA Tournament game in 2022.
"I think Nebraska could be one of the most dangerous teams in this league," Big Ten Network Women's Basketball Analyst Meghan McKeown said on the B1G Network women's basketball conference schedule reveal special as part of B1G Today. "They return a ton of starters from last season and they added some key pieces from the transfer portal."
Nebraska opens the conference season at Maryland on Dec. 4 and will then host the Terrapins Jan. 22. Maryland made the Sweet 16 last season, as did Ohio State while Michigan reached the Elite Eight.
Other home and homes include Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, and Northwestern. Home only opponents are Wisconsin, Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan State.
The regular season begins Oct. 30 against Washburn at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
