Northwestern isn't anything special neither talent-wise nor size-wise. The Wildcats also hold just a minimal home court advantage with their on-campus arena being renovated. This is forcing them to play their home games in Rosemont at the huge AllState Arena.

The Wildcats also may be without their third leading scorer, Bryan McIntosh. He's nursing an injured knee.

Nebraska has won three in a row. The Cornhuskers are averaging 75.8 points a game. That's their highest scoring average in more than 20 years.
