Nebraska was 5-4 when Michigan showed up in Lincoln two months ago and will arrive at the Crisler Center with a 6-15 record tonight (9:00 p.m, BTN). The Wolverines won the first meeting 102-67 and the Huskers have only picked up one win since — 88-74 over Kennesaw State shortly before Christmas. They are coming off of one of their closest losses of the season, 63-61 at home against Rutgers, but they are the worst team in the Big Ten by an ever-widening margin.
The Huskers have some talented pieces including Trey McGowens, who missed the last meeting with a foot injury and returned three games ago, but they are a team that Michigan, fighting for its postseason life, has to beat at home to keep its season on track.
