The team's defensive prowess has also been notable; they managed to steal the ball 15 times from Indiana, contributing significantly to their points off turnovers. This aggressive defense could be crucial in disrupting Wisconsin's gameplay.


Nebraska's shooting accuracy has been consistent, maintaining around a 46 percent field goal percentage across recent games. Their performance from beyond the arc is also commendable at approximately 34 percent, which could be pivotal in stretching Wisconsin's defense.


The Cornhuskers have shown they can control both ends of the court with an average rebound count higher than their opponents and blocking shots effectively when needed. They've outperformed teams in fast-break points as well as second-chance points, indicating their ability to capitalize on opportunities.


However, playing at Kohl Center poses its challenges; it is known for its raucous atmosphere that often gives home teams an edge. The Cornhuskers will need to maintain focus and composure if they wish to come out on top in this away game scenario.


Fans can catch all the action and see if Nebraska can continue its upward trajectory or if Wisconsin will halt them in their tracks on January 6th at 7:15 PM Central Time (CT). The game will be broadcast nationally on BTN (channel 610).
