The key to that defensive prowess is sophomore middle blocker Andi Jackson, who just earned her second Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week award after leading Nebraska to victories over Illinois and Michigan. Jackson, along with teammates Rebekah Allick and Lexi Rodriguez, highlight Nebraska's continued dominance in weekly defensive awards this season, which the Huskers will lean on as they face a formidable Wisconsin offense led by Sarah Franklin.

This matchup between Nebraska and Wisconsin is a storied Big Ten clash with both programs vying for national recognition and conference supremacy. Each team boasts an extensive list of stars, with Nebraska's Bergen Reilly leading the offense with 799 assists and Wisconsin's Charlie Fuerbringer taking the helm for the Badgers. The rivalry between these two powerhouses compounds the challenges as the Huskers seek revenge for last year's win over Wisconsin that ended Nebraska's undefeated season.

When Franklin, Beason, Booth and Jackson take the court, fans can look forward to a high-profile showdown that could impact both the Big Ten standings and the national rankings. Tune in as Nebraska looks to maintain its perfect conference record and Wisconsin looks to make a statement at home.
