(Lots More Information on the Game Page (more than you really want to know
)Nebraska (13-7, 4-3 Big Ten) come into Thursday's game as winners of six of their last eight games following the 64-63 win over Illinois on Monday evening. James Palmer Jr. provided the heroics, hitting a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds left to cap a 24-point performance. In fact, Nebraska's last two games have gone down to the final three seconds, as the Huskers lost at Penn State in the final 2.7 seconds of overtime.
While Palmer, who leads three Huskers in scoring at 15.7 points per game, hit the game winner, the play of Isaiah Roby and Evan Taylor helped key Nebraska's rally. Roby nearly posted a double-double in his first start of the year, finishing with nine points, 10 rebounds, four steals and two blocks. Taylor, who came off the bench, added 13 points, five rebounds and two assists.
SCOUTING MICHIGAN
Under Coach John Beilein, Michigan is 16-4 on the season and playing its best basketball over the last month. The Wolverines have won nine of its last 10 games since a loss to Ohio State on Dec. 9, with the only loss being a one-point setback to Big Ten co-leader Purdue on Jan. 9. Michigan, whose non-conference losses were to LSU and North Carolina, started the streak with wins over UCLA and at Texas to begin a five-game win streak to close non-conference action. Since resuming Big Ten play, Michigan has wins over Iowa, Illinois and Maryland, as well as a 10-point win at Michigan State last Saturday. Michigan averages 76.3 points per game and ranks second in the Big Ten with 9.6 3-pointers per contest. The Wolverines also lead the conference in turnover margin (+4.7 per game), as they commit a conference-low 9.8 turnovers per game.
Michigan, which returned two starters from its NCAA Sweet 16 team, has three players averaging double figures and a fourth averaging 9.4 points per game. Moritz Wagner tops the Wolverines in scoring (14.9 ppg) and rebounding (7.2 rpg), while Kentucky transfer Charles Matthews also averages 14.9 points per game and ranks second among all Big Ten newcomers in scoring. Michigan has eight players who have connected on at least 10 3-pointers, including 39 from Duncan Robinson and 31 from Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman.
The Wolverines, who are ranked 23rd in this week's AP poll, are coming off a 68-67 win over Maryland on Monday. The Wolverines needed two free throws from Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman with 1.2 seconds left to escape with the win.
