ANALYSIS:
Nebraska is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They are ranked #108 (out of 363) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 16-16. Of the 14 schools in the Big Ten (average ranking 56.1), they're currently ranked as our #13 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.705 (which ranks 23rd nationally), Nebraska is one of the more battle-tested teams in the college game.

Nebraska will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 70th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Nebraska is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 18.44 vs. AO, they are currently rated fifth in the country in that category. Nebraska also boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #43 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.5% of their total attempts from the floor. If Nebraska does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 88.60 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 29th-worst in college basketball.

Nebraska is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 147th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 104 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Nebraska boasts one of the better offensive field goal percentages in the college game. The squad is ranked 27th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 47.4% of their attempts vs. AO. Nebraska will also make a strong effort to get off as many field goals close to the basket as they can. The ball-club is 48th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-50 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 63.8% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. If Nebraska does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's poor shooting at the line. The squad makes just 63.3% of their free throw attempts, which ranks 11th-worst in Division I.

When playing on the road, Nebraska performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 325th in our site's away-from-home metric.
