The Cornhuskers have been showing a strong performance this season, especially when looking at their recent games. On February 17th against the Nittany Lions, NEB dominated with a 68-49 victory that showcased their offensive prowess and defensive solidity. With an impressive 58 percent shooting from inside the arc and a staggering 91 percent from the free-throw line, they demonstrated efficiency and composure under pressure.

Moreover, NEB's ability to capitalize on turnovers was evident as they scored 15 points off their opponent's mistakes. Their rebounding was also superior; pulling down 42 rebounds compared to Penn State's 31 shows that NEB can control both ends of the floor effectively.

In another recent game on February 10th against Michigan Wolverines, NEB continued their winning ways with an even more commanding performance ending in a scoreline of 79-59. Their field goal percentage stood at an impressive 47 percent while maintaining solid defense throughout the game.

However, it is not just about offense for Nebraska; their defense has been equally commendable. In these past games, they've shown that they can disrupt plays and force turnovers which translates into fast-break opportunities – something they executed flawlessly against Penn State with ten fast break points.

The Scarlet Knights will certainly pose challenges for Nebraska; RUTG comes into this game after some tough battles of their own. They have proven themselves capable of putting up a fight defensively but have struggled offensively in recent outings – something NEB could exploit if they maintain defensive intensity and continue converting opportunities into points.

It is essential for Nebraska to keep up this momentum if they wish to secure another win at home. The team’s synergy has been improving steadily - evident by higher assists turnover ratios in previous games - suggesting that players are gelling well together as we approach this crucial stage of the season.

Looking ahead to March 3rd at Pinnacle Bank Arena set for tip-off at 5:30 PM CT, fans should expect nothing less than full-throttle basketball from start to finish. The Cornhuskers will need every ounce of support from their faithful followers as they strive for victory once more on home soil.
