Maryland at Nebraska, 7 p.m., ET, Big Ten Network: Maryland has the goods to play anyone in the Big Ten tight and could steal a road win. But Nebraska is on a mission. The Huskers need every one of the final four games to make a statement that this team belongs in the field. All are winnable with a road game at Illinois and home games against the Terps, Indiana and Penn State.
That would give the Huskers a nine-game win streak heading into the Big Ten tournament. Nebraska could get a double-bye and not feel the pressure to get a win in New York. Get one, though, and that could clinch it. That’s a lot on the Huskers’ plate, but they are more than capable of winning out to squelch any questions about their resume.
