Lincoln - Nebraska has announced its women's basketball tip-off time for its final regular-season home game. The Huskers will face Northwestern on Senior Day, Sunday, Feb. 28, at Pinnacle Bank Arena at 3 p.m. (CT).
Nebraska, which is 16-7 overall and 7-5 in the Big Ten, will cap its regular season with what is expected to be an important game with postseason implications against the Wildcats. The Huskers also will be looking to avenge an early season conference loss to the then-No. 14 Wildcats in Evanston on Jan. 3.
