The last time Nebraska and Wisconsin met, it came down to the final minute before the Badgers were able to pull off the win.
Nebraska (13-14, 4-10 Big Ten) and 17th ranked Wisconsin (19-8, 10-4 Big Ten) are set to square off in what should be another exciting Big Ten match-up.
The two teams will look to improve on their shooting after a 47-41 Wisconsin victory the last time they met on Jan. 6.
The Badgers will rely on Jared Berggren to lead them on both ends of the court, averaging 11.9 points and 7 rebounds per game. In their last meeting, Berggren had a game-high 13 points, despite missing all four of his first half shots, to give Wisconsin their fourth straight victory in the match-up.
Berggren combined with Ben Brust will give the Badgers a stark advantage on the boards, with Brust averaging 11.3 ppg and 5.6 rebounds per game, the duo will look to work the inside paint against the Cornhuskers. He's also averaging 15.0 points while going 18 of 46 from 3-point range over the last six games.
For the Huskers, Ray Gallegos, who averages 12.5 ppg, and Dylan Talley (14.5 ppg), will need to have a strong showing if Nebraska is to stand a chance against the Badgers who are coming off two huge conference wins against Ohio State, ranked 13th at the time, and Northwestern.
Wisconsin appears to be prepared for the Big Dance as they continue to shut down opponents, allowing just 55.7 points per game this year. That ranks them at number nine in scoring defenses around the country and puts them in a position to finish in the top ten for defenses for a sixth consecutive season.
Tonight's matchup will be only the 20th meeting between the two programs over the past century. Nebraska holds the advantage 10-9. The last time the Huskers defeated the Badgers, however, was November of 1998.
This is also only the second time that either team has been ranked as they faced each other.
Wisconsin is proving they belong in the post-season, winning five of their last six.
The game is set to start at 9 p.m. EST.
