Nebraska (7-13, 2-7 Big Ten) comes off a 75-72 loss at No. 24 Rutgers, as Geo Baker hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds remaining. Behind the play of Cam Mack, the Huskers had rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit to take a six-point lead before Rutgers ended the game with a 9-0 run.
• Nebraska enters the Michigan contest averaging 72.3 points per game.
• Nebraska relies on its balance, putting at least four players in double figures 15 times in the first 20 contests and currently have three players averaging double figures overall, including four in conference games.
• Cam Mack needs just three assists to crack Nebraska's single-season top-10 list. Mack's 6.7 assists per game ranks 13th nationally.
The game was going to feature two of the Big Ten's premier point guards in Michigan's Zavier Simpson and Nebraska's Cam Mack. Simpson leads the Big Ten in assists at 8.3 per game, while Mack is third in the conference at 6.7 assists per game. Both players have 2.5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratios to rank second in the conference, but Simpson will not play on Tuesday.
SCOUTING MICHIGAN
Michigan comes into Tuesday's contest with an 11-8 record (2-6 Big Ten) following a 64-62 setback to Illinois on Saturday. In that game, Ayo Dosunmu's jumper with 0.5 seconds left was the difference, as he led all scorers with 27 points. Zavier Simpson led three Wolverines in double figures with 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting.
The Wolverines, who average 76.6 ppg, have one of the most talented rosters in the Big Ten, with five players who average double figures. Injured Isaiah Livers, who returned to action on Saturday, is second on the team in scoring at 13.1 ppg and is shooting 50 percent from 3-point range. Four other players average double figures. Senior center Jon Teske leads the Wolverines in scoring (13.9 ppg), rebounding (7.6 rpg) and blocked shots (2.0 bpg) while shooting 53 percent from the floor. Senior point guard Zavier Simpson is averaging (12.8) ppg and leads the Big Ten in assists with 8.3 apg, but has been suspended for Tuesday's game. Eli Brooks (10.8 ppg) and freshman Franz Wagner (10.1 ppg) are also averaging double figures.
