The Nebraska basketball team looks to snap a five-game losing streak and pick up its first win over a ranked team this season, as the Huskers welcome No. 11 Ohio State to Pinnacle Bank Arena on Monday, Jan. 20.

An advanced sellout is expected as only a handful of single tickets in the 100 Level were available as of Friday morning. Those are $30 and can be purchased by calling 1-800-8-BIGRED or (402) 472-3111.

Tipoff is set for 6:01 p.m. and the game will be carried nationally on BTN (Ch. 610 on DirecTV, Chs. 439 and 9500 on Dish; Chs. 2, 1333 on Time Warner Cable) with Dave Revsine and Jim Jackson on the call. The game will also be available online and on mobile devices on BTN2Go.

The Huskers (8-8, 0-4 B1G) have been off since a 70-64 loss at Purdue on Jan. 12, as the eight-day break is Nebraska’s longest of the 2013-14 campaign. The matchup with Ohio State – the second of the season between the two programs – begins a stretch of four games over the next 11 days to close January.

For the second straight game, the Huskers had chances to win late, but could not close out the contest. Against Purdue, Terran Petteway led three Huskers in double figures with 19 points and nine rebounds, but a six-minute drought in the second half proved costly, as Purdue used a 9-0 run to regain the lead for good.

Petteway has been one of the most unsung players in the Big Ten, as he joins Illinois’ Ravonte Rice and Iowa’s Aaron White as the only players who rank in the top 10 in both scoring and rebounding in Big Ten Conference action. Petteway leads the Huskers in conference games in both scoring (17.5 ppg) and rebounding (7.3 rpg).

If Nebraska is to get its first Big Ten win of the season on Monday night, the Huskers will have to do a good job handling the pressure of an Ohio State (15-2, 2-2 B1G) team which forces over 15 turnovers per game behind the backcourt of Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott.  In the first meeting on Jan. 4, Nebraska committed 13 turnovers which led to 17 Buckeye points. The Buckeyes have lost three straight since the meeting with Nebraska, including a 63-53 loss to Minnesota on Thursday.
