What to Know

The Northwestern Wildcats are 8-2 against the Nebraska Cornhuskers since December of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. Northwestern and Nebraska will face off in a Big Ten battle at 8 p.m. ET at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The Wildcats are expected to win again but are hoping to meet expectations this time.

The matchup between Northwestern and the Minnesota Golden Gophers this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Northwestern falling 77-60 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. The top scorers for Northwestern were forward Pete Nance (18 points) and guard Boo Buie (16 points).

Meanwhile, the game between the Cornhuskers and the Maryland Terrapins last week was not particularly close, with Nebraska falling 90-74. The losing side was boosted by guard Bryce McGowens, who had 25 points.

This next contest looks promising for the Wildcats, who are favored by a full 11 points. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Northwestern, who are 11-12-1 against the spread.

Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a win. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
