As discussed earlier today, Wisconsin completes its welcoming party duties tonight in Lincoln after already baptizing Nebraska into the Big Ten in football earlier this fall. The basketball matchup doesn't carry the same luster though.
The big concern for the host Huskers are the injuries to several key players. At best, starting center Brian Jorge Diaz (feet) could play spot minutes off the bench if necessary. Sixth man Dylan Talley (thigh) will be absent on the wing, while senior guard Caleb Walker (back) is going to attempt to play tonight.
Jordan Taylor looked much better against Mississippi Valley State last week after getting some rest for his ankle during finals week, so I anticipate a solid Badger effort across the board in this one. Comment away!

PITT is garbage, got manhandled by Notre Dame.

And now we're looking live ...
Apparently Nebraska introduced dozens of former Husker hoops “greats” before hand.

Not a good start
Standing around and Taylor misses a 3 up against the shot clock. NU responds with a swish. 3-0 Corn.

Other than Taylor's forced jumper a second ago
the Badgers seemed to have settled into their offense more. McCray just won’t miss.

Nebraska seemed to have no problem with Berggren shooting the three
Bit them in the ass there
Gasser guarding Bo Spencer so far
Spencer is creating his own shots, but not connecting.
UW ahead 13-10.

Pretty move by Bruiser
Gets ball in post, faces up the bigger defender, and squeezes in a layup after driving around Ubel. Badgers lead 24-12.

Poor Call by the officials on the block
The call was way way late. It should have been a no call
definitely.
Berggren tried to sell it and it came back to bite him.

Berggren not paying attention on that series

Not sure what Gasser is doing out there
He’s thrown 3 bad passes that have been picked off by Nebraska in the first half.
UW leads 33-26 at the break.

Yikes
Cheap foul on Berggren, then gets the rebound stolen away from him and fouls the guy. Now the Ice Berg is on the bench right away with 3 fouls.

Not the way he wanted to start the half, I'm sure.

I hope no one out there is still hatin on Ryan Evans
His offense has carried UW for several stretches this yr. Big hit by him from the top of the key. Wisconsin continues to shoot remarkably well (>55%) from the field as Gasser nails an open trey.

He's been great tonight
I like seeing the balance between the inside and perimeter shots.

I still hate on how unsmooth he looks, but he's producing and that's what matters.

silly turnover; luckily Brust hustles back to take a charge on Spencer. Not a good game for the Nebraska PG…

Nebraska sends a request to the B1G:
“Please don’t schedule us against Wisconsin for any more B1G sport openers”
Happy Virginian, Sconnie for life.
