Starting Five: Badgers return home to face Nebraska
4. SERIES HISTORY
Even though Nebraska didn’t join the Big Ten Conference until 2011, the Badgers and the Cornhuskers will face each other for the 40th time on Sunday, with the all-time series dating back to 1904. The Badgers lead the series 22-17, with a 16-7 mark in conference play. The Badgers are 11-4 when playing at home as well.
The two teams faced each other twice last season, splitting the matchups. Wisconsin won the first game, 88-72, at home, while Nebraska took the most recent matchup, a 80-72 overtime game in Lincoln.
Max Klesmit owns two 10+ point scoring games against Nebraska, scoring 13 in the latest matchup. In Wisconsin’s home victory over the Cornhuskers last season, John Blackwell came off the bench and put up 12 points in just 19 minutes, and Steven Crowl added nine points, seven rebounds, and four assists.
After a tough road stretch, the Wisconsin Badgers are finally returning home to the friendly confines of the Kohl Center to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers. As they look to bounce back from a couple of tough losses, the Badgers will be looking to their starting five to lead the way.
Here’s a breakdown of the starting lineup for the Badgers as they prepare to take on Nebraska:
1. Brad Davison – The senior guard has been a consistent presence for the Badgers this season, averaging double-digit points per game and providing leadership on the court.
2. D’Mitrik Trice – Trice has been a reliable scorer for the Badgers, and his ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc will be crucial against Nebraska.
3. Aleem Ford – Ford has been a versatile player for the Badgers, contributing both on offense and defense. His ability to stretch the floor with his shooting will be key against the Cornhuskers.
4. Micah Potter – The big man in the middle, Potter will be tasked with controlling the paint and grabbing rebounds against a tough Nebraska frontcourt.
5. Nate Reuvers – Reuvers has been a force on both ends of the court for the Badgers, using his size and athleticism to make an impact. His shot-blocking ability will be crucial against Nebraska’s scorers.
As the Badgers return home, they will be looking to their starting five to set the tone and lead them to victory against Nebraska. With their talent and experience, this group has what it takes to get the job done and get back on track. Go Badgers!
