The Huskers (13-9, 5-5 Big Ten) bounced back from a pair of losses with one of their best performances of the year, shooting 63 percent from the floor in posting a 76-60 win over Northwestern Tuesday evening. It was Nebraska’s best shooting effort from the field in five seasons and highest shooting percentage against a conference opponent in 16 seasons.

Terran Petteway led three Huskers in double figures against Northwestern with 28 points – his 11th 20-point game of the season – seven rebounds and four assists. The 6-foot-6 junior is one of only five players in the country averaging 19.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, as he ranks third in the Big Ten in scoring. Petteway comes intoSaturday’s game needing three points to reach 1,000 points for his Husker career.

Juniors Shavon Shields and Walter Pitchford joined Petteway in double figures on Tuesday, combining for 25 points. Shields, who reached the 1,000-point mark against Northwestern, had 11 points and a career-high eight assists, while Pitchford had 14 points, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range, as his outburst was his highest point total since November.

With a 5-5 mark, the Huskers are in the middle of a jumbled pack, as only two games separate second through 10th place in the conference standings entering this weekend’s action.

Penn State is 14-9 on the season and 2-8 in the Big Ten following a 64-58 loss at Maryland on Wednesday. In that game, D.J.
