The No. 20 Nebraska women’s basketball team shoots for just the second double-digit winning streak in school history while trying to secure the No. 2 seed at next week’s Big Ten Tournament when the Huskers take on Wisconsin Thursday night in Madison.

Tip-off between the red-hot Huskers (21-6, 11-3 Big Ten) and the Badgers (11-16, 3-11 Big Ten) is set for 7 p.m. (central) at the Kohl Center, as Nebraska shoots for a season series sweep of Wisconsin.

Nebraska will try to close out Big Ten road action with a six-game road winning streak – the second-longest in school history. A win would give NU a 7-1 Big Ten road mark, which would be the second-best conference road record in school history, trailing only Nebraska’s 2010 Big 12 championship squad that finished a perfect 8-0 away from the Devaney Center.

Nebraska stretched its overall winning streak to nine games with a 66-46 run past Iowa in Lincoln on Sunday. Rachel Theriot poured in a career-high 19 points, including 15 in the second half. All-America candidates Jordan Hooper and Lindsey Moore both added double figures in the win, which completed a season sweep of the Hawkeyes. Nebraska held its third straight Big Ten foe to a season-low point total, as the 46 scored by Iowa joined the 39 allowed to Ohio State (Feb. 14) and Michigan (Feb. 21).
