The Nebraska Cornhuskers will begin their stretch run against two opponents who are currently within one game of the Huskers in the Big 12 standings, starting tonight game with Texas A&M.
The Aggies are 5-7 in Big 12 play, just one game behind the Huskers. NU enters this game in a tie for sixth place with Oklahoma State at 6-6, with OSU owning the tiebreaker with Nebraska.
Nebraska is looking to move above .500 through 13 league games for the second time in four years. NU was 7-6 with three Big 12 games left in 2005, but dropped all three to finish 7-9 in conference play.
Doc Sadler’s Huskers have struggled scoring over the past five games, despite winning three of those games. Husker senior guard Ade Dagunduro could make All-Big 12 honors this year. He is 16th in scoring with 14.2 ppg in Big 12-only contests, and 18th in rebounding at 4.2 rpg (14th in offensive rebounds, 1.9). Dagunduro is also fifth in Big 12 play by hitting 52.1 percent from the field (61-of-117) and 13th in steals (1.3 spg).
