Nebraska Women’s Basketball heads to Wisconsin to face the Badgers
LINCOLN, Neb. (Nebraska Athletics Press Release) – The Nebraska women’s basketball team will hunt for its second Big Ten road win when the Huskers travel to Wisconsin to battle the Badgers on Thursday night.
Tip-off between the Big Red (10-3, 2-0) and the Badgers (7-5, 0-2 Big Ten) at the Kohl Center in Madison is set for 8 p.m. (CT).
The game will be televised live by the Big Ten Network with Jason Ross Jr. and Christy Winters Scott calling the action. A live stream also will be available on the Fox Sports App.
Nebraska fans can listen across the Huskers Radio Network, including B107.3 FM in Lincoln and 590 AM in Omaha, the Huskers App and Huskers.com, as Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch team up for their 23rd season. Pregame starts at 7:30 p.m. (CT).
NCAA NET No. 27 Nebraska improved to 2-0 to open Big Ten play for the second straight season by posting an 87-81 win over 2023 NCAA Elite Eight qualifier Maryland on New Year’s Eve in Lincoln. It marked Nebraska’s first-ever home win over the Terrapins, but its second victory over the Terps in the past three meetings.
The Big Red got big contributions from their big three – Alexis Markowski, Jaz Shelley and Natalie Potts – against Maryland, as all three stars recorded double-doubles. It was the first time in nearly a decade that three Huskers posted double-doubles in the same game.
Alexis Markowski posted her Big Ten-leading eighth double-double of the year with 20 points and 10 rebounds against Maryland. The two-time Lisa Leslie Award candidate has scored in double figures in 13 straight games, including four 20-point performances. The preseason first-team All-Big Ten pick leads the league in rebounding (9.8) and ranks fifth in scoring (17.5 ppg). Through two Big Ten contests, she is averaging 16.5 points and a conference-best 13.5 rebounds.
Two-time Ann Meyers-Drysdale Award candidate Jaz Shelley has added 13.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and team bests of 5.2 assists and 1.5 steals after putting up 13 points and 11 assists in the win over Maryland. The 5-9 guard from Moe, Australia, is the first Husker in history to record multiple career triple-doubles after getting 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a win over UNCW (Dec. 5). Shelley ranks fourth on Nebraska’s career three-point list with 188 and ninth in career assists (433) despite playing just two-plus seasons as a Husker.
Three-time Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week Natalie Potts is leading all conference freshmen in scoring (11.3 ppg) and rebounding (6.2 rpg) after erupting for 17 points and a career-high 13 rebounds against Maryland. The two-time Missouri MaxPreps High School Player of the Year out of Incarnate Word Academy put up 13 points, 12 rebounds, two steals and a block in the second half alone against the Terrapins. In Big Ten play, she is averaging 13.5 points (24th) and 9.0 boards (5th).

How to milk a cow as seen at the Wisconsin State Fair
There’s more to milking a cow than you might think. In this archived video at the Wisconsin State Fair, a Journal Sentinel reporter gave it a try.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel files
Wisconsin Republicans had a field day when the state Democratic Party celebrated the start of National Dairy Month with a post featuring male cattle that don’t produce milk.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin initially posted a “Happy Dairy Month” graphic on Facebook, Instagram and X showing two brown and white cattle with horns and no visible udders.
The party later posted a corrected version, featuring two black-and-white spotted Holstein cows. T-bone steaks with halos and wings floated above them – presumably, where the male cattle had gone.
“We regret that our Dairy Month tweet contained an error. We have ‘taken care’ of the issue, if you catch our drift,” the party wrote June 1.
Side note: Many dairy cattle, including females, naturally have horns. In most cases, they’re removed to prevent injuries to farmers and cattle themselves. But udders are visible only on female cattle, a.k.a. cows.
Tom Tiffany, the leading Republican candidate for governor, jumped on the mistake, posting a video touting his experience growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm.
Tiffany and other Republicans also criticized Democrats for celebrating the start of Pride Month, which recognizes LGBTQ+ communities and begins June 1 alongside National Dairy Month.
“I regret to inform [Wisconsin Democrats] that you cannot milk a bull. But considering they think men can get pregnant, I guess thinking you can milk a bull tracks too,” Tiffany wrote on X.
Tiffany also said June 1 that, if elected governor, he would no longer fly the Pride flag over the state Capitol in June – a practice started by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in 2019.
Evers also celebrated June Dairy Month with a video message, in part criticizing President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and cuts to federal programs supporting farmers.
Wisconsin is home to about 5,000 dairy farms – more than any other state – and has about 1.27 million cows. National Dairy Month originally started in 1937 as National Milk Month.
