Nebraska vs. Wisconsin Sunday at 3:30!

Nebraska has its first Big 10 game at home tomorrow at 3:30. Come out and watch a great game. Nebraska is the weakest team in the Big 10 this year but the Big 10 is the top basketball conference in America. Lots of talent. Every home game this year will give fans a chance to see some of the best in college basketball. Seven or eight teams will make it to the NCAA tournament this year.

Wisconsin sports a well coached team. They are 10-4 and 1-0 in the conference. They are rated 17th by Pomeroy. Nebraska is coming in at 193rd. Wisconsin is a very good defensive team and they don't turn the ball over. They are led by Jared Berggen. He is one of the best players in America. He is the main guy we have to stop. He penetrates and gets lots of foul shots and by the way he is hitting 80% of those. He is averaging 13.4 points a game. He is the typical efficient Wisconsin player.

Ryan Evans is another tough player. He leads the Badgers in rebounds and shoots a lot of shots although his average is mediocre. Ben Brust is second in rebounds, second in PPG at 11.9, and leads the team in assists. We stop these players and we win the game.

The Huskers, who will be wearing red uniforms for this game, are lead by Brandon Ubel. Ray Gallegos, and Dylan Talley. With Eric Almeida and Mike Peltz probably out for this game, the Huskers have six players they can depend on.  Well maybe seven now. Freshman Sergej Vucetic scored the first four points of his Husker career in the second half versus Ohio State.

Look to a lower scoring game. Nebraska will need to shoot lights out which means Gallegos will need to be hot. They will have to play the perfect game to win. Low turnovers and great defense. Doing the things Wisconsin do most every game.

But we have a chance. Creighton beat Wisconsin by the same margin the beat the Huskers so.......

But on this day my prediction is Wisconsin 60 Nebraska 48. See you there!! Go Big Red!
