THE MODERATOR: Welcome into this 2026 NCAA Women's March Madness pregame press conference. We are now joined by the Nebraska Cornhuskers. We have student-athletes Callin Hake and Britt Prince with us. The floor is open to questions.
Q. Callin, congratulations on heading back to the NCAA Tournament. What does it mean to you as a senior finishing up your career in the NCAA?
CALLIN HAKE: Yeah, I mean, it's so special. I always talk about how little Callin remembers watching Selection Show Sunday and being, like, Maybe that could be me one day. To hear your name called and then just to play in NCAA games, that's what you set your eyes on in June, and then to be here in March and just have the opportunity present itself, it means everything that this is kind of senior year and how it's gone.
Q. Britt, last year you were a freshman in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in Fort Worth. That team was focused around Alexis Markowski. This team is more focused around you. How different does it feel coming to this tournament now in your second year than your first one? Is it a lot different this time?
BRITT PRINCE: I mean, I think it's sort of some of the same feelings. Just really excited to be able to play in the NCAA Tournament.
I think it's great to be able to have that experience from last year, just coming in probably a little less nerves and stuff like that. Yeah, I'm just excited for this team to be able to come in and play some games.
Q. Britt, I was looking at your guys' stats, and you are top 20 in the nation in scoring and field goal percentage. What makes your offense so efficient this season?
BRITT PRINCE: Yeah, I think we try and work the ball around to get the best shot for our team, and I think this year especially we've been doing that. That's what leads to the good shooting percentages, and I think we just work hard to be open for each other and try and set our teammates up for when we know they can make those shots.
Q. Callin, Britt is having a 50-40-90 season. I was wondering from your perspective watching her play, what makes her such an efficient offensive player?
CALLIN HAKE: I think it starts with the work that you guys don't see. She's one of the first people in the gym, and she's one of the last ones to leave, but she enjoys the process along with it. I think that's so important.
So just to have a front row seat to that these past two years, it's just been incredible to see her growth. I'm just excited to watch her shine on this stage, too.
Q. I assume you've watched some film on Richmond. What have you noticed about them? Is there any Big Ten team that maybe compares to them? What are you going to have to be prepared for?
BRITT PRINCE: Not really a ton of Big Ten teams that compare to them. Just in the sense that they play a lot of five-out, just motion, screening, moving, stuff like that. A lot of shooters. I think it's most similar to a Creighton team that we've played before. Yeah, just kind of got to be ready for everything.
CALLIN HAKE: That was great (smiling).
THE MODERATOR: Have you all ever had an opportunity to play in this building, and the chance to get to do that, what's that like for both of you?
CALLIN HAKE: Yeah, I think it's pretty surreal. When you talk about basketball greatness and just the history to play in Cameron Indoor is such a special opportunity and definitely kind of a pinch-you moment.
BRITT PRINCE: Yeah, I agree. This is a super cool place to play and very historic. So, yeah, it's great to have the opportunity to play here.
