One they they talked about was controlling the tempo on the road, which means not playing slow down ball with Northwestern Northwestern packs the paint like it's the Doc Sadler era. You can defeat this through 3pt shooting or passing, two things the Huskers don't necessarily excel at. Terran Petteway is going to find it tough to drive into the lane. He and the Huskers still need to keep at it free throws and Wildcat foul trouble can help Nebraska pull this out. Northwestern has had a week to prepare for this game and will be ready for the normal Husker game plan. Look for someone unexpected to lead the Huskers in scoring or/and shooting today. It could be Ray Gallegos taking advantage or it could be Walt Pitchford's coming out party or Nate Hawkins starting. While the Huskers don't play that well on the road, the Wildcats don't play that much better at home either and typically feature one of the smallest crowds in the conference. This could be a game where either team wins by 20 or it goes into 4OTs Prediction: Nebraska 62 - Northwestern 57 Click here to view the article atskooc and tcp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
