The Nebraska men’s basketball team’s difficult introduction to Big Ten conference play brings the toughest challenge yet tonight, as the Huskers host the 6th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes at the Devaney Center. The Huskers have suffered losses to 11th-ranked Wisconsin and 16th-ranked Michigan State to open their inaugural Big Ten campaign. Tonight, they face a Buckeyes team considered a legitimate national championship contender, led by the conference’s preseason player of the year and a reigning All-American, forward Jared Sullinger. Ohio State is 13-2, and are coming off a 74-70 loss at Indiana on Saturday. They are 1-1 in conference play. Husker men’s basketball has an all-time record of 20 wins and 113 losses in games against teams ranked in the top 10. Tip off in Lincoln is set for 5:35.
