What to Know

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the #25 Iowa Hawkeyes and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 7 of 2020. Nebraska and the Hawkeyes will face off in a Big Ten battle at 9 p.m. ET on Friday at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Iowa should still be feeling good after a big victory, while Nebraska will be looking to get back in the win column.

Nebraska received a tough blow on Tuesday as they fell 77-65 to the Northwestern Wildcats. Guard Bryce McGowens (15 points), guard Alonzo Verge Jr. (15 points), and guard Kobe Webster (13 points) were the top scorers for Nebraska.

Meanwhile, everything went Iowa’s way against the Michigan State Spartans on Tuesday as they made off with an 86-60 victory. The Hawkeyes’ forward Keegan Murray did his thing and had 28 points along with five rebounds.

The Cornhuskers are the clear underdogs, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past three games.

Nebraska is now 7-20 while Iowa sits at 19-8. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Nebraska is stumbling into the matchup with the 351st most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 79.3 on average. The Hawkeyes’ offense has more to brag about, as they they rank fifth in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 83.6 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
