4. Nebraska (17-8, 8-4)
Last Week: 4

Nebraska is taking advantage of its light schedule.  They played just one game last week and it was the fourth game in the last 7 days.  The Huskers looked like they were going to drop a road game Monday night at Wisconsin.  Nebraska trailed for much of the game but James Palmer Jr. led a late run for them as they pulled ahead late for a 74-63 win in a game that was closer than the final score.  Nebraska stays at four mostly due to its dominating win over Michigan earlier in the season.

After only playing last Monday, the Huskers will return to action after eight days off for two games this week.  Nebraska has a potential trap game Tuesday night at the Barn against Minnesota.  It will be followed by a Saturday night home contest against Rutgers.  Nebraska will look to take advantage of a favorable schedule down the stretch.  It will not play Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, or Michigan in its final six games of the regular season as Nebraska looks to make a late push into the NCAA Tournament.
