The Wildcats are playing horrible in the Big 10 this season, but they are coming into the game here to face the Cornhuskers with 5 straight losses. The problem is the non-conference schedule for the Wildcats was not that difficult on the team as they were able to pick up quite a few wins on the year, but have since fallen to a five hundred mark.

The Wildcats have been led in the scoring by Vic Law who has managed to get 15.5 points a game in 32.9 minutes a game. The Wildcats have managed to get 3.1 assist a game from A.J. Turner. Dererk Pardon has been playing decent with 3 offensive boards a game, but also 4.6 defensive boards a game. The Cornhuskers are coming into this game with only 4 wins in the Big Ten on the year. However, the Cornhuskers did get a win in the last game after the Minnesota squad made a horrible foul to give the Cornhuskers, who were down by a point 2 free throws. Both of those made it through the net gracefully and helped to bring the Cornhuskers a 62-61 win.

James Palmer Jr is the player who the Cornhuskers have been able to turn to for scoring with 19.1 points a game in 34.1 minutes a game. The Huskers have been able to get 3.2 assist a game from Glynn Watson Jr. When it comes to cleaning the glass the Cornhuskers have ended up getting a total of 1.9 offensive and 5 defensive boards a game from Isaiah Roby.

The Northwestern team is struggling on the year and that will be evident in this game here as the Cornhuskers are able to control the game here from start to finish. The downside is this game will be a slow scoring affair as the Cornhuskers win and neither team is able to dominate offensively. Final Score Prediction, Nebraska Cornhuskers win but fall short ATS 62-59.
