The Nebraska women's basketball team closes the first half of regular-season Big Ten Conference play by traveling to Ohio State for a Thursday night battle with the Buckeyes.

Tip-off between the Huskers (14-6, 4-3 Big Ten) and the Buckeyes (11-9, 1-6 Big Ten) is set for 7:30 p.m. (central) with live national television coverage on the Big Ten Network.

Nebraska hopes to continue building momentum after notching back-to-back Big Ten wins at Minnesota (84-63, Jan. 20) and over No. 25 Michigan State (59-54, Jan. 24) last week. The Huskers enjoyed their first weekend bye and will head to Ohio State shooting for their first win in Columbus since 1990.

Jordan Hooper (18.2 ppg, 8.8 rpg), Lindsey Moore (15.3 ppg, 5.5 apg, 2.0 spg) and Emily Cady (9.8 ppg, 7.6 rpg) provide the Huskers with three legitimate All-Big Ten-caliber performers.

The Big Red's "Big Three" will try to offset the explosiveness of Tayler Hill - the Big Ten's leading scorer. Hill enters Thursday's game averaging 24.5 points per game in Big Ten play, and 21.0 points per contest on the year.

You can hear the Lady Huskers tonight on A-M 1230, KTNC.
