Scouting: Senior guard Ryan Bruggeman is one of the top players in Division II, ranking in the top 20 nationally in scoring (23.2, 13th) and assists (6.1, 19th) per game. He's scored 30 or more points four times and broke Southwest Minnesota's career scoring record earlier this season.
Trending: A victory would give Nebraska just its fourth one-loss non-conference campaign since World War II. The Huskers went 11-1 in 1977-78 (finished 22-8), 12-1 in 1992-93 (finished 20-11) and 10-1 in 2003-04 (finished 18-13).
Forecasting: This game should — should — allow Nebraska the chance to rest its regulars and get ready for league play.
