Nebraska (7-12, 2-6 Big Ten) looks to bounce back following an 82-68 loss at Wisconsin Tuesday evening. The Huskers' 68 points were the third-highest total Wisconsin has given up in Big Ten play, but the Badgers pulled away on 3-pointere after Nebraska got within 66-61 with 7:35 remaining.
• Nebraska enters the Rutgers contest averaging 72.3 points per game, which matches NU's highest average since the 1996-97 season.
• Nebraska has relied on its balance during the first half of the season and have three players averaging double figures overall (four in conference games).
• Nebraska's play in Big Ten action is starting to resemble the team's that Coach Hoiberg had at Iowa State, especially with ball movement and limiting turnovers. NU is in the top three in five offensive categories including assist-to-turnover ratio and 3-point shooting.
SCOUTING RUTGERS
Rutgers (14-5, 5-3) is nationally ranked for the first time since 1979, and comes off a tough 85-80 loss at No. 19 Iowa on Wednesday night. The Scarlet Knights got a career performance from Ron Harper Jr., as he finished with 29 points on 10-of-14 shooting and nine rebounds to pace three Scarlet Knights in double figures. Akwasi Yeboah (17) and Myles Johnson (10) also finished in double figures, as Rutgers rallied back from a nine-point deficit with four minutes remaining to take a 77-76 lead with 2:25 left before Iowa ran off five straight points to regain the lead for good.
• Rutgers has been tough at home, going 13-0 at the RAC this season.
NUMBERS TO KNOW
• Cam Mack needs seven assists to crack Nebraska's single-season top-10 list. Mack's 6.8 assists per game ranks 11th nationally as of Jan. 22.
• Nebraska is ranked second in the Big Ten in turnover margin at +3.0 per game. NU has committed 12 or fewer turnovers in each of the last 11 contests.
