The Huskers are a heavy favorite in this game, but they can't take the Mavericks lightly. Omaha is a well-coached team that plays hard. The Mavericks will be looking to knock off the Huskers and get their season back on track. The Huskers will need to be at their best to beat the Mavericks. They will need to play good defense and rebound the basketball. The Huskers will also need to make their free throws. If the Huskers can do those things, they should be able to win the game. However, if they don't, the Mavericks could pull off the upset. Here are some things to watch for in the game: * Can the Huskers continue their hot shooting? The Huskers have shot the ball well in their first two games, making 50% of their shots from the field. If they can continue to shoot the ball well, they will be tough to beat. * Will the Mavericks be able to slow down Jaz Shelley? Shelley is Nebraska's leading scorer and is one of the best players in the Big Ten. The Mavericks will need to find a way to slow her down if they want to have a chance to win the game. * Can the Huskers win the rebounding battle? The Mavericks are a good rebounding team, so the Huskers will need to be physical on the boards. If the Huskers can win the rebounding battle, they will have a good chance to win the game. The game is scheduled to tip off at 2 p.m. CT.
