This game spooks me a bit. Northwestern is a tough place to play.

I expect to lose a couple, but hoping it's against a better opponent.

Northwestern isn't a "tough" place to play, its more of a sterile and boring venue where teams often have to manufacture their own energy.

There is a big college basketball bracketologist I follow on Twitter. He's been trying to hit up every Big Ten venue this season. He was at the Illinois at Northwestern game and called it one of the worst environments he's ever seen in the conference.
 
I think no matter how many games Nebraska wins this year, everyone will nervous because it's Nebrasketball. Myself included as I selected Nebraska single digit win. This is a game Nebraska should win handily and shouldn't be close. I do think Chris Collins has done a great job at Northwestern, but this might be his worst team since his first or second year.

We've seen enough Big 10 basketball the last few years to know no road game should be taken for granted. To say we should "win handily and shouldn't be close" is ignorant. 1 through whatever, winning on the road handily in this conference is not a given.
