9. Nebraska (14-14, 6-9)

Nebraska has been a difficult team to figure out.  They’ve beaten up on some of the lower teams in the Big Ten, and have played some of the better teams tough, and yet the Huskers don’t have much to show for it.  Ever since a surprising win at the Breslin Center, the Huskers are 2-6 with wins against Penn State and Rutgers.

This team lost a defensive struggle in overtime to Ohio State on Saturday night, and it was clear in that game how much this team misses Shavon Shields.  This team is not a tournament team, but it is also one that teams can not take lightly, especially if an all-big ten player in Shields is playing.
