Analyzing past performances, Nebraska has shown remarkable resilience and skill. In their last home game against the Nittany Lions, they secured a commanding victory with 68 points to 49. Their shooting was efficient from inside the arc with a two-point percentage of 58 percent, while also excelling at free throws with an accuracy of 91 percent. They outrebounded their opponents by eleven and capitalized on turnovers, scoring fifteen points off them.


Another notable performance came against the Wolverines where they triumphed with 79 points to Michigan's 59. The team's field goal percentage stood at 47 percent and they were particularly effective from beyond the arc hitting 39 percent of their three-point attempts.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Nebraska as they faced defeat away against Northwestern Wildcats despite putting up a good fight with 68 points to Northwestern's 80. The team maintained solid shooting percentages but turnovers proved costly as they gave up twenty-six points off those mistakes.


The upcoming game promises to be another test for this resilient Nebraska side as they aim to continue their winning momentum in front of a home crowd. With strong shooting percentages and an ability to capitalize on turnovers being key trends for them recently, these factors could play significant roles once again.
