Final stretch of season starts at No. 5 Ohio State

The Nebraska women's basketball team's final three-week push to win enough games to make the NCAA Tournament begins with a game that would give the Huskers’ resume a huge boost.

Nebraska plays at fifth-ranked Ohio State on Thursday. A win would give the Huskers a second win against a top-25 team in the final part of the season, after the Huskers upset No. 17 Michigan State on Sunday.

NU coach Connie Yori said the Huskers need to continue to build on what they were able to do against Michigan State, when they played better defense and got 51 points combined from Natalie Romeo and Jessica Shepard.
