Senior Kate Cain will lead her team through a 23 game schedule starting on December 4. The first two games are non-conference home games (Oral Roberts and Idaho State).
Starting on December 10, Nebraska will jump into its 20-game regular-season conference schedule at home with the first of two regular-season Big Ten games against Illinois. The game at Pinnacle Bank Arena between the Huskers and Fighting Illini will mark the earliest game for Nebraska against a conference opponent since 1981, when the Big Red faced Iowa State at the Devaney Center on Nov. 24. That was the last season prior to the Big Eight Conference adapting a standard regular-season schedule for women’s basketball in 1982-83.
