Saturday is Senior Night, as the Huskers will honor Kobe Webster and Thorir Thorbjarnarson during pregame ceremonies. Saturday's game is NU's third game in five nights, as the Huskers also will turnaround and host Rutgers on Monday in the home finale.

SCOUTING MINNESOTA
Minnesota (13-11, 6-11) looks to bounce back following a 67-59 home loss to Northwestern on Thursday. Marcus Carr had 21 points and seven assists, but the Gophers shot just 37 percent, including 4-of-27 from 3-point range. Minnesota, which has dropped four straight, was without Liam Robbins because of injury. The Gopher center averages 11.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and leads the Big Ten in blocks.

The Skinny:
Opportunity is knocking for Nebraska tonight at home as they welcome in an inconsistent Minnesota team who is without one starter and with Liam Robbins at less than 100%, assuming he plays. Nebraska has a couple of things they need to take care of to win this game.

First, it's all about trying to contain Marcus Carr and the Huskers' reputation about letting random guys go off leads you to believe this will be the game plan. The other thing Nebraska needs to worry about is turnovers as that's exactly what this poor shooting Minnesota team looks to exploit to score points. If you have to, start throwing up a couple from the Nebraska logo :Signhuh: as bad shots can go in whereas you miss all the shots you don't get to take. (oh, ok. :Lol:)

Look, Minnesota is currently on the cusp of making the NCAA tournament and absolutely needs this game; they will come out tonight like they were shot out of a cannon. They'll also have one of the best finishers in the conference in Carr on the back end. Nebraska needs to make hay in the middle. I think they do.

Prediction: Nebraska 76 - Minnesota 72

Players to watch: Liam Robbins
The Drake transfer received a waiver to play this year and has slotted into the starting center spot with Daniel Oturu going pro. Robbins leads the team in block and rebounds and is second on the team in PPG. Oddly he has had success from 3 after being pretty poor his first two years at Drake. Questionable to play tonight with an ankle injury.

Players to watch: Marcus Carr
Carr picked up where he left off last year as one of the best assist men in the conference and leads the team in scoring. The 3 level scorer also leads the team in FT makes and attempts. Nebraska didn't have an answer for him last time as he shredded the Huskers for 21.

Evolution of versatile word- Hmm - Animesh
I think the HUSKERS need to do this every game with the way they turn the ball over.
