The Huskers (14-11, 4-10 Big Ten) broke their seven-game losing streak in dramatic fashion, as James Palmer Jr. hit a pair of free throws with 1.1 seconds left to give the Huskers a 62-61 victory over Minnesota on Wednesday evening. Palmer finished with a game-high 24 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the floor and 8-of-10 shooting from the foul line for his 12th 20-point game of the season. Glynn Watson Jr. broke out of a scoring slump with 19 points - his second highest total of the year - including 11 in the second half, as Nebraska overcame an early 11-point first-half deficit. As a team, the Huskers shot 50 percent from the floor in their best shooting performance since early December. NU also averaged more than one point per possession for the second straight contest.
Northwestern (12-12, 3-10) comes to Lincoln looking to break a five-game losing streak following a 59-56 loss to Rutgers on Wednesday in Evanston. Vic Law led the Wildcats with 17 points and four assists, while A.J. Turner came off the bench for 11 points and four assists. Northwestern's last two losses have come by a total of four points, as Iowa hit a game-winning shot with 0.6 seconds left in the Hawkeyes' 80-79 win last Sunday.
Fifth-year senior Vic Law has been a go-to player for the Wildcats this year, as he is first or second on the team in scoring (15.5, first), rebounding (6.7, second), assists (2.9, second), steals (1.1, first) and blocked shots (0.9, second). Law has five 20-point games this season and is averaging 20.1 ppg and 6.5 rpg in his last two games. Senior center Dererk Pardon averages 13.7 ppg on 59 percent shooting while topping the squad in rebounding (7.6 spg) and blocked shots (1.0 bpg). A pair of transfers have been valuable to the Wildcats' attack as Ryan Taylor averages 11.5 ppg and has hit a team-high 55 3-pointers, while A.J. Turner averages 8.4 points per game and leads the team in assists (3.1 apg).
