Nebraska Women’s Basketball Hammers Wisconsin, Wins Fifth Straight
Nebraska women’s basketball left no doubt Monday night.
Despite the frigid temperatures outside, the Huskers were red-hot inside Pinnacle Bank Arena in a 91-60 shellacking of Wisconsin. NU improved to 15-4 on the year and 6-2 in the Big Ten Conference while UW fell to 10-9 overall and 1-7 in the league.
Nebraska started the game iffy on the offensive end, needing to scrap in the back-and-forth affair. But a 6-0 run put the Big Red up late in the first quarter.
Wisconsin started the second quarter with back-to-back buckets, tying the game at 18. That’s when Nebraska unleashed hell on the visitors.
The Huskers rattled off an 18-1 and held the Badgers scores for a five-minute stretch. The game was never in doubt the rest of the way as the Big Red cruised to the 31-point victory.
The biggest difference in the game came from beyond the arc, as Nebraska fired off a barrage from deep. NU made 16-of-32 3s while the Badgers managed just 3-of-17 from deep.
Eight different Huskers made a triple in the contest, with Jessica Petrie, Britt Prince, and Kendall Moriarty all making a trio of shots from deep.
Nebraska shot 54.2% for the game, adding 11-of-12 free throws. Wisconsin made 37.9% of their shots, chipping in 7-of-11 from the line.
Moriarty scored a team-high 17 points off the bend. Also coming off the bench, Petrie added 15 points, seven rebounds, and three assists.
In total, Nebraska scored 35 bench points. The Huskers also had assists on 27 of their 32 made shots.
Big Ten Freshman of the Week Prince scored 14 points, adding seven rebounds, three teals, two assists, and no turnovers in 25 minutes of work.
Alexis Markowski grabbed seven rebounds, passing All-American and Husker Hall of Famer Jodan Hooper (2011-14) for No. 3 on Nebraska’s career rebound list. Markowski is up to 1,112, just two shy of Emily Cady (2012-25) for No. 2 on the list. The record holder is Janet Smith (1979-82) with 1,280 rebounds.
Nebraska stays home Sunday to host No. 12 Ohio State. Tip from Pinnacle Bank Arena is slated for 2 p.m. CST on B1G+.

DHS urges Wisconsin ‘sanctuary’ county to keep illegal immigrant accused in elderly sexual assaults jailed
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Homeland Security is urging “sanctuary politicians in Wisconsin” not to release a Nicaraguan national who was arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting an elderly victim, according to a statement Wednesday.
Julio Cesar Morales-Jarquin, 31, is in local police custody after being charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault of an elderly victim, DHS said.
He was arrested last month after a residential care facility in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, reported to police that an employee may have assaulted vulnerable residents, according to local outlet WKOW.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer request on April 27 asking that Morales-Jarquin remain in custody.

DHS on Wednesday called on Dane County officials not to release Morales-Jarquin, accusing the county of being a “sanctuary jurisdiction” that refuses to honor ICE detainers.
The agency said the county has previously given ICE as little as 30 minutes to take custody of individuals in its jail.

According to DHS, Morales-Jarquin entered the United States in 2023 under the Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program for Nicaragua. Although the program was later ended, DHS said he remained in the country unlawfully.
“This illegal alien is charged with two counts of sexual assault of an elderly victim at an assisted living facility,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in the DHS statement. “This dirtbag was released into the country by the Biden Administration. DHS is calling on sanctuary politicians in Dane County, Wisconsin to NOT release this criminal from jail back onto the streets to commit more crimes.”

“We need Wisconsin sanctuary politicians to cooperate with us to remove criminals from our country,” she added.

EAA AirVenture 2025 opens with aircraft of every description
EAA AirVenture 2025
USA TODAY readers voted two Wisconsin events among the nation’s best for thrills and excitement – and one got a No. 1 spot.
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh was voted the Best Air Show, ranking first on a list of 10 air shows across the country.
Oshkosh annually becomes a landing pad for around 10,000 aircraft of all shapes and sizes, in what’s considered the world’s biggest fly-in convention. In 2025, EAA had record-breaking attendance, with around 704,000 visitors. This year, the air show will be held July 20-26.
Also highlighted on the most recent USA TODAY 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards, released Wednesday, May 6, was the Sports Car Club of America National Championship Runoffs in Elkhart Lake, which ranked sixth in the Best Motorsports Race category.
The SCCA National Championship Runoffs are an annual competition between top amateur road racers, frequently held at Road America.
The event was held annually at Road America from 2009 to 2013, then returned in 2020 and again for the 2024-2026 competitions. It also rotates to other sites across the United States. In 2027 and 2028, it will be held at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
The SCCA National Championship Runoffs will take place Sept. 28-Oct. 4.
The Best Air Show and Best Motorsports Race lists were among 10 lists in the overarching category “Thrills ‘n’ Wheels & Fishing.” Other lists include Best Boat Show, Best Car Show, Best Fishing Charter and Best Rodeo. The full list of winners can be found online at 10best.usatoday.com/awards.
To determine its lists, USA TODAY 10Best invites a panel of industry experts each week to nominate their favorite points of interest, in categories like food, drink, travel and lifestyle.

MADISON – When Alie Bisballe committed to the Wisconsin women’s basketball program during the summer of 2023, she had an scholarship on the table from Michigan State.
After the 6-foot-4 forward entered the transfer portal last month, the Spartans came calling again. This time she accepted their offer.
Bisballe announced her commitment to the Spartans May 5. The move puts her about two hours from her hometown of Lake City, Michigan.
She has two years of eligibility remaining.
Bisballe, who announced the news on Instagram, played in 36 games for Wisconsin in two seasons and averaged 1.3 points per game. She averaged one point and 0.8 rebounds per game this past season.
At Michigan State, she’ll joined another former Badger. Carter McCray, who played for UW in 2024-25, is transferring to Michigan State after one season at West Virginia.
Four Wisconsin players entered the portal last month. Rising senior Kyrah Daniels withdrew her name, but guard Breauna Ware signed with Wake Forest. Jovana Spasovski, a 6-0 wing with two years of eligibility remaining, has not announced a commitment.
