We are down to the last three regular season games for Husker women’s basketball. The team sits at 12-14 and 7-8 in the Big Ten. The Huskers are currently 10th in the conference and one game away from 5th place. Staying out of the bottom four seeds will keep the Huskers from having to play on the first day of the conference tournament. Rising to one of the top four seeds would give them a double bye - but I’m not holding my breath on that one. It is mathematically possible, but extremely doubtful.
Northwestern is the stingiest defense in the conference (even better than Rutgers which is saying something) in holding opponents to 60.
