The Huskers have dropped four straight games, including consecutive one-point losses. Saturday's loss @ Rutgers spoiled a strong second half performance by sophomore forward Jack McVeigh, who came off the bench and scored all 12 of his points in the second half. McVeigh hit a trio of 3-pointers in a late 9-2 run to give the Huskers a 64-59 lead with 1:34 left.
McVeigh has stepped up off the bench for the Huskers, averaging 8.3 points per game on 43 percent shooting in the three games that sophomore Ed Morrow Jr. has missed because of injury.
The Huskers will need their backcourt of Glynn Watson Jr. and Tai Webster to turn in a strong effort. In Big Ten play, they are combining for 38 points per game, as Webster leads the conference in scoring at 19.9, while Watson is sixth at 18.1 ppg.
SCOUTING NORTHWESTERN
Northwestern comes into Thursday's game playing its best basketball of the season. The Wildcats are 16-4 on the season and tied with Purdue for third place in the Big Ten race. Since opening Big Ten play with a 1-2 mark, the Wildcats have won four straight, including a trio of road victories.
Northwestern is balanced club with three players in double figures and four others averaging at least 6.5 points per game. The Wildcats have also held teams to 39 percent shooting, including 31 percent from 3-point range. The Wildcats are led by junior guard Bryant McIntosh, who averages 12.6 points and 5.4 assists per game, ranking third in the conference in assists. McIntosh, a three-year starter, set Northwestern’s single-season record with 213 last season in helping the Wildcats win a school-record 20 regular-season games in 2015-16. Scottie Lindsey leads Northwestern at 16.1 points per game while Vic Law is at 14.0 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. Law and Lindsey both shoot over 37 percent from 3-point range. Sophomore Darerk Pardon leads the Wildcats in both rebounding (7.8) and blocked shots (2.6) while averaging 7.8 points per game on 56 percent shooting.
