10. Nebraska (14-15, 6-10)
Last Week: 9

The good news for Nebraska is that Shavon Shields returned this week after a five-game absence.  The bad news is that it did not translate into a win.  The Huskers battled back against Penn State on Thursday, but in the end the Nittany Lions hung on for a 56-55 win, causing Nebraska to drop one spot in our power rankings.

Nebraska has had an up and down season in the Big Ten.  The Huskers play at home against Purdue on Tuesday before finishing up their season Sunday at Northwestern.  This is one of those weeks where both 2-0 and 0-2 seem possible for Nebraska.  Nebraska is also looking to avoid having to play on Wednesday in the Big Ten tournament (top 10 teams in the league avoid that).

Next: Number 9
