Nebraska comes back from down 19 to beat #6 Wisconsin

After a 27-8 start for the Badgers, it looked like Nebraska was going to fall to Wisconsin for the second time this season. Nebraska made a bit of a run after the rough start, but Wisconsin stretched the lead back up to 16 by halftime. CJ Wilcher (22 points) stepped up for the Cornhuskers in the second half, and a bucket from Wilcher tied the game at 52-52 with 8:44 to play. Wisconsin took a 65-59 lead shortly after, but a Reink Mast three with a minute to play tied the game back up at 65-65. The game would go into overtime, where Nebraska dominated and four free throws from Brice Williams iced the game and a court storm ensued.

Princeton meets Yale in Ivy League heavyweight matchup (7:00 ET, ESPNU)

A week after losing at Cornell, Princeton heads to New Haven to meet the other Ivy League undefeated school, Yale. The loss was just Princeton’s second of the season, but a road test at Yale could mean a third is coming soon. Sophomore guard Xaivian Lee leads the Tigers with 17.7 ppg, also recording 4.9 rpg and 3.4 apg. The Bulldogs have a sophomore sensation of their own, seven-footer Danny Wolff, who averages 14.1 ppg and 9.6 rpg. This will be a pivotal matchup in the race for the Ivy League regular season title, and the first of two regular season matchups between Princeton and Yale.

Toledo visits Akron with first place on the line in the MAC (9:00 ET, ESPN2)

With a quieter Friday slate before a historic Saturday slate, it’s a perfect time to highlight another key mid-major battle. This one is from the MAC as both Toledo and Akron head into the game at 8-1 in conference play. These two teams have some recent history, as Akron’s only home loss in the last two seasons came to Toledo, in February of 2023. Toledo will look to make it three straight against the Zips, and have a balanced scoring load this season, with four players averaging over 12 ppg. Akron is led by senior forward and MAC POTY hopeful, Enrique Freeman, who averages 18.5 ppg and 12.8 ppg. Look for the Zips to get revenge from the Rockets sweep last season and take control of the MAC.
