Britt Prince Reaches 1,000 Points and Named Preseason All-Big Ten

Britt Prince joins the 1,000-point club

Britt Prince scored her 1,000th career point during the opening seconds of a 98-35 victory over Western Illinois on Saturday, Nov. 7, according to huskers.com.

The 5-11 junior guard reached the milestone in her 64th game for the University of Nebraska. After the successful free throw line jumper, Prince finished the contest with 1,017 points, moving her to 38th on the program’s all-time scoring list.

She now sits 18 points behind Alexa Johnson for 37th place and 19 points behind Stacy Imming for 26th. Reaching the top 30 in school history requires 1,100 points, while the 1,134-point mark would place her in the top 25.

Prince earns preseason All-Big Ten honors

Prince enters the 2026-27 season as a Preseason All-Big Ten selection, recognized by both conference coaches and media. The honor follows a sophomore campaign where she led Nebraska in scoring with 17.9 points per game, assists with 4.4 per game, and steals with 1.5 per game.

Her efficiency has been a defining characteristic of her play. Last season, she led the Big Ten in free throw percentage at 91.2 percent and held the highest three-point field goal percentage at 45.7 percent among all returning power conference guards who attempted at least two three-pointers per game.

The junior’s performance in the postseason cemented her reputation as a high-stakes player. In the 2026 NCAA Tournament, she averaged 24.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.0 blocks. Her 27-point effort against No. 21 Baylor remains the second-highest scoring total by a Husker in NCAA Tournament history.

Player Milestone/Stat	Value/Detail
Prince Career Points (as of Nov. 7)	1,017
2025-26 Free Throw %	91.2%
2025-26 Three-Point %	45.7%
2025-26 Field Goal %	53.5%

The return of Natalie Potts and Allison Weidner

The Huskers’ roster depth is being bolstered by the return of players who have navigated significant injury setbacks. Natalie Potts, the 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, was named to the Cheryl Miller Small Forward of the Year Preseason Watch List on Oct. 28.

Potts missed the entire 2025-26 season due to a stalled recovery from a leg injury. She earned her first start of the current season on her birthday during the Nov. 7 win against Western Illinois, contributing nine points and four rebounds.

Similarly, Allison Weidner is returning to the lineup after three consecutive seasons ended prematurely due to knee injuries. The 5-10 guard from Humphrey, Neb., has been working through a series of surgeries following injuries in 2023, 2024, and 2025.

Weidner has already integrated back into the rotation, starting in the season opener against San Jose State and recording 10 points, four assists, and four steals in the Nov. 7 win over Western Illinois.

National recognition for point guard play

Prince’s development has placed her on the radar for the Nancy Lieberman Award, which recognizes the top point guard in women’s NCAA Division I basketball. Fan voting for the award opened on Oct. 30 at hoophallawards.com.

The selection process involves a watch list of 20 players being narrowed to 10 in late January, then to five finalists in late February. Prince was previously named a 2026 Nancy Lieberman Award Midseason Top 10 choice.

The stakes for the Nebraska backcourt extend beyond individual accolades. As the team prepares for its upcoming matchup against North Carolina A&T, the integration of Prince’s scoring, Potts’ rebounding, and Weidner’s veteran presence will dictate the Huskers’ early-season momentum.
