Nebraska should not be as big a challenge as Northwestern, especially at home, but the Buckeyes need to be more patient and find higher percentage looks against the Huskers. With a healthy E.J. Liddell and Seth Towns, the Buckeyes are finally playing with a full deck. There’s no reason to settle for tough shots when you have the personnel to work the ball inside for a higher percentage look. And if Ohio State can establish the inside, then — like magic — those outside shots will be less contested and easier to knock down.
Nebraska is bad. They’re the 115th-best team in the country according to Ken Pomeroy, and are the only B1G team sitting outside the top-100. For reference, Penn State is the next lowest at No. 54. The Cornhuskers lost their first two conference games by a combined total of 25 points to Wisconsin and Michigan, and with their next three games being at Ohio State, vs Michigan State, and at Purdue, it may be awhile before second-year head coach Fred Hoiberg gets his first B1G win of the season.
Besides the fact that the Buckeyes haven’t been able to throw the ball into a swimming pool lately, this matchup with Nebraska gives them a great reason to really get back to the basics. Nebraska’s top-four scorers (Teddy Allen, Dalano Banton, Trey McGowens, and Kobe Wesbter) are all guards and collectively are an average height of 6-foot-4.
