-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Huskers (9-9, 3-3 Big Ten) look to break a three-game losing streak after a heartbreaking 67-66 setback to Ohio State on Wednesday.
The Huskers have been much more efficient since going to a three-guard lineup in late December. NU has averaged 77.9 points per game over the last seven contests and the emergence of Evan Taylor in recent weeks has played a major role. The junior college transfer is averaging 7.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game in Big Ten play and tied season bests in points (11) and rebounds (eight) against Ohio State. The play of Taylor has helped the Husker backcourt, allowing Tai Webster and Glynn Watson Jr. to form a formidable backcourt duo. Webster is third in the Big Ten in scoring at 18.3 points per game while chipping in 5.0 rebound and 4.0 assists per game. Watson is eighth in the conference in scoring at 14.8 points per game while pacing the Big Ten with 2.0 steals per contest.
SCOUTING RUTGERS
Rutgers has made significant strides under first-year coach Steve Pikiell. Rutgers, which won just seven games last year, enters Saturday's game with an 11-8 mark, but are 0-6 in conference.
The Scarlet Knights have been very good on defense, holding opponents to 39 percent shooting and 65.3 points per game. Rutgers also out-rebounds opponents by nearly eight per game, including an average of 15 offensive boards per contest. Sophomore Corey Sanders is the catalyst, as he leads the team in both scoring (11.7 ppg) and assists (3.5 apg). He is one of four players who average double figures. Junior Deshawn Freeman is at 11.5 points and a team-high 8.7 rebounds per game to rank fourth in the conference in rebounding. Nigel Johnson, who began his career at Kansas State, and Mike Williams are also in double figures, averaging 11.3 and 10.3 points per game, respectively.
