BATTLE OF THE MOST IMPROVED TEAMS
The Scarlet Knights and Huskers are vying to become the nation's most improved team as both squads have dramatically turned the page from last season. RU which ended 2016-17 at 6-24 matched last year's win total in December and already picked up 11 more wins than a year ago. Nebraska, meanwhile, played to a 7-22 record last year and comes to the RAC with six more wins and a 13-6 record with 10 games to go, including Sunday's contest.
Rutgers will be looking to put behind Thursday's 70-67 setback at Penn State. The Scarlet Knights roared back from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit and held a one-point lead with 39 seconds to go. Penn State, however, went to the line in the final second of the contest to hit 4-of-5 attempts for the win.
Redshirt junior forward Stasha Carey collected her second-straight double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Junior KK Sanders had a season-high 14 points, while redshirt junior guard Tyler Scaife poured in eight of her 10 points in the fourth quarter.
ABOUT NEBRASKA
The Cornhuskers come to the East Coast with a 13-6 overall mark and 4-2 record in Big Ten play and will be facing their third-straight Top 25 opponent in the Scarlet Knights.
Nebraska has been winners in four of their last five games with the lone setback being a 69-64 overtime loss to No. 23 Michigan last Saturday. The Huskers rebounded though with a 74-65 upset of No. 20 Iowa on Tuesday night.
Four Cornhuskers are averaging double figures led by sophomore guard Hannah Whitish at 14.0 points per game. Whitish is third in the Big Ten in assists averaging 5.3 helpers per game and is ninth in the conference in 3-point shooting connecting at .398 percent.
Freshman guard/forward Taylor Kissinger checks into Sunday's contest at 11.8 points per game, while junior forward Maddie Simon is averaging 10.9 points per outing along with a team second-best 5.8 rebounds per game.
Rounding out the double-figure scorers is freshman center Kate Cain at 10.7 points per contest while also hauling in a team-leading 6.8 rebounds per game. Cain leads the Big Ten in blocks with 3.6 rejections per contest and is sixth in the league in shooting hitting at a .578 clip.
Nebraska also ranks third in the conference in field goal defense limiting the opposition to shooting .370 from the floor. The Huskers rank right behind Rutgers in blocks averaging 5.4 per contest.
