Wisconsin vs Nebraska Game Preview
Why Wisconsin Will Win
Nebraska isn’t good at shooting the basketball.
It hasn’t been all that awful lately from the field, but the worst shooting team in the Big Ten from three, and it has to keep on bombing away to overcome a defense that doesn’t do enough to stop anyone from generating easy points.

Why Nebraska Will Win
Wisconsin isn’t good at shooting the basketball.
It manages to generate plenty of points when needed off of turnovers and with timely plays, but it’s not great from the outside, they’re last in the Big Ten in assists per game, and overall it’s only hitting 42% from the field.
Lately, it’s giving up too many offensive rebounds – a problem in the loss to Michigan State – and Nebraska should be able to generate enough steals and defensive stops to matter.

Nebraska simply won’t make enough contested shots against this group.
