Northwestern (19-11, 7-10 Big Ten) looks to finish its regular season Sunday as the Wildcats welcome Nebraska (14-16, 6-11) to Welsh-Ryan Arena. Head coach Chris Collins is seeking to bring his program its first 20-win regular season in school history, and with it a 9-seed in the Big Ten tournament and a potential NIT bid.

The Wildcats will also honor seniors Tre Demps, Alex Olah and Joey van Zegeren on Sunday afternoon, as those three players near the end of their Northwestern careers. van Zegeren, a graduate transfer, will not play in the game as he is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Demps and Olah represent two of the last bridges connecting the Bill Carmody era to the Collins one, and have been major contributors in each of their college careers.
Nebraska comes into the contest having lost four in a row and eight of its last ten. The Wildcats, though, have won two in a row over Rutgers and Penn State. Both teams have experienced their fair share of ups and downs since they met in late December in the first games of both teams' conference schedules. In that game, an 81-72 Northwestern win in Lincoln, the Cornhuskers could not control freshman center Dererk Pardon, who finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds, with 7 of those coming on the offense glass.
