Nebraska (7-8, 2-2 Big Ten) put together one of its best performances of the season in a 76-70 victory over Iowa on Tuesday. Thorir Thorbjarnarson's 17 points and nine rebounds led five Huskers in double figures, while Cam Mack had 15 points and 10 assists, as Nebraska shot nearly 50 percent from the floor. Defensively, the Huskers held Iowa's Luka Garza to 16 points - six below his season average - while forcing the Hawkeyes into 4-of-33 shooting from 3-point range.

SCOUTING NORTHWESTERN
Northwestern enters Saturday's game with a 5-9 record and looking to snap a five-game losing streak. The Wildcats returned just two starters and six letterwinners from last year's team that went 13-19 for seventh-year coach Coach Chris Collins. The Wildcats have battled injuries, as junior guard Anthony Gaines (5.9 ppg, 3.6 rpg) is out for the season while freshman guard Boo Buie (10.8 ppg, 2.6 apg) is out indefinitely.

Northwestern has wins over Big East co-leader Providence (72-63) and Boston College (82-64), which is currently second in the ACC. In conference play, Northwestern lost by just five to Michigan State and played well at Minnesota and Indiana despite being limited in numbers. The Wildcats allow just 66.4 points per game and take advantage of their chances from the line, ranking second in the Big Ten at 76.3 percent from the charity stripe.

Currently, the Wildcats have a lineup that features two freshmen, two sophomores and a graduate transfer. Sophomore Miller Kopp leads the Wildcats in scoring at 12.6 ppg and is shooting 44 percent from 3-point range. Redshirt freshman Ryan Young is at 10.7 ppg and a team-high 7.1 rpg, while Pat Spencer, who was four-time All-American in lacrosse at Loyola (Md.), is averaging 10.6 ppg and a team-high 4.1 apg.

I hope the MBB team is already in Evanston. The weather looks like it will be pretty nasty tonight and tomorrow; and a rough flight returning tomorrow evening. Safe Journey!

Skinny (from another site :Redface:)

Yet another shorthanded team. The Purple came in with just 10 scholarship players and are down to 8. They're also young, starting 2 sophomores and 2 freshmen.

Key Injuries:
  • SG Anthony Gaines - Out for season with shoulder injury
  • PG Boo Buie - Out indefinitely with a foot injury

  • Players to watch: Pat Spencer
    Spencer is a graduate transfer from Loyola where he was one of the best lacrosse players in Div-1. Split time at the point with frosh Boo Buie until Buie was injured. Struggles with his shot, but he's an excellent FT shooter and leads the team in assists.

    Players to watch: Miller Kopp
    The 6'7" Soph F is currently playing at SG due to injuries. Kopp is the team's best 3pt shooter and leading scorer.

    The Skinny:
    This young Northwestern team has been just as inconsistent as Nebraska, losing a couple of pay games to start the season and dropping another one during the winter break. Injuries have also hurt, especially losing promising freshman PG Boo Buie. Chris Collins has built up recruiting after winning the Wildcat's first NCAA tournament game. This has not translated into winning.

    I expect Northwestern to try and grind this thing out and for the most part be successful. Defensively they'll most likely throw out a lot of zone and see if Nebraska can jack up 3s over their length. While there are offensive rebounds to be found against Nebraska, expect Northwestern to retreat to limit the Huskers transition. The Wildcats are going to make the Huskers earn most of their points on Saturday.

    Nebraska will try to push the pace but it will be difficult with Northwestern selling out and what should be your typical dead Ryan-Welsh crowd. The Huskers tend to let off the gas after wins and this Northwestern team is hungry for a win.

    In what will probably be a close game, here are a couple of Northwestern stats for you
    • Northwestern shoots 76.3% from the FT line, 31st in Div-1
    • Northwestern is 1-12 in their last 13 games decided by 10 or less

      Prediction: Northwehhcmattstern 71 - Nebraska 67

This game is rated as the second easiest remaining game on the schedule (NW at home is the easiest). We'll see if we can maintain the growth that we saw in the Iowa game.

Wiscy thumping PSU 50 - 39 with 6:25 to play. Just waiting for the Huskers v Northwestern to start in about 40 minutes or so.
 



How fitting. I just noticed that PSU plays round ball in the BJ Center. Bryce Jordan Center. LOL!!!
