Can the Cornhuskers Conquer at Welsh-Ryan Arena?

As the Nebraska Cornhuskers prepare to face off against the Northwestern Wildcats at Welsh-Ryan Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming clash on February 8th promises to be a spectacle of skill and strategy, but will NEB continue their recent dominance on the court?

Looking back at NEB's performance in their last game on December 21st against the Fighting Hawks, it was a display of offensive prowess as they secured an 83-75 victory. With a staggering 58 percent shooting from inside the arc and an impressive 46 percent overall field goal percentage, NEB showed they could find ways to score efficiently. Their ability to convert turnovers into points was notable as well, racking up 20 points off turnovers.

The defensive side of things also worked in their favor with seven steals and holding their opponents to just 39 percent shooting from the field. This balance between offense and defense is what has made NEB a formidable opponent this season.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for NEB; they did have some struggles earlier in December when they faced Kansas State Wildcats on December 17th. Despite winning that game with a score of 62-46, their field goal percentage dipped to just 35 percent and free throw accuracy plummeted to an abysmal 25 percent. Yet even then, their tenacity on defense with seven steals and four blocks helped them overcome these offensive shortcomings.

It's this resilience that will be crucial when facing NW at their home venue. The Wildcats are not an opponent that can be taken lightly; any lapses in concentration could prove costly for NEB.

The Cornhuskers' fans should expect another strong showing from their team based on recent performances like against Michigan State Spartans on December 10th where they shot an impressive half-court rate of over fifty percent while maintaining solid defensive pressure throughout the game.

With all eyes set towards February's matchup, one thing is certain: if Nebraska continues its trend of combining robust defense with efficient scoring bursts – especially during critical moments – then victory is within reach even away from home soil.
