The Huskers (10-7, 2-3 Big Ten) ran into hot-shooting Wisconsin team in their last outing, as the seventh-ranked Badgers shot 52 percent (11-of-21) from 3-point range in a 70-55 win on Thursday night. That performance had been an anomaly against the Huskers this year, as Nebraska had held its first 16 opponents to just 27.6 percent from 3-point range.
The loss, which snapped NU’s two-game win streak, offset a strong performance from junior guard Terran Petteway, who scored a season-high 27 points, including 4-of-9 from 3-point range.

Petteway, who is second in the Big Ten in scoring at 19.4 points per game, needs only three points on Tuesday to reach 1,000 career points. He has scored 909 of his points over the last year and a half for the Huskers, as Tuesday’s matchup with the Gophers will be his 50th career appearance at Nebraska.

Minnesota heads to Lincoln with a 12-7 record and a 1-5 Big Ten mark after topping Rutgers, 89-80, on Saturday to break a five-game losing streak. In that game, Andre Hollins scored 31 points, including 7-of-10 from 3-point range, to place three Gophers in double figures. Minnesota averages 78.9 points per game and have four players averaging double figures, led by Hollins’ 13.4 points per game.

Tuesday’s matchup will be the first of two meetings with the Gophers in a 12-day stretch, as the Huskers travel to Minneapolis on Jan. 31.
