Micah Potter has grown into the star of this Wisconsin team, which was evident in his outstanding 20 point outing against Louisville. Potter also leads the Badgers in scoring and rebounds this season. His efficiency and rebounding ability will be important in helping the Badgers through their tough Big Ten schedule.
Another player to look out for in this game is freshman guard Jonathan Davis, who has played extremely well coming off the bench for Wisconsin. Davis is currently fifth on the team in scoring and second in rebounds, and his role will likely increase as he becomes more comfortable with the college game.
Nebraska has had a difficult start to the season, but have been led by the tremendous play of guard Dalano Banton, who leads the Cornhuskers in rebounds, assists, and blocks. He is also second on the team in scoring with an average of 13.7 points per game. Banton and guard Teddy Allen, who is averaging 18.3 points per game this season, could be a challenge for Wisconsin.
The Badgers will look to get a good start to their Big Ten schedule against a 4-3 Nebraksa team tonight before a very important game against the No. 12-ranked Michigan State Spartans on Dec. 25.
