AJ Storr (Guard) vs. Keisei Tominaga (Guard)

In his sophomore season, Wisconsin guard AJ Storr has emerged as the Badgers’ go-to scorer, averaging 15.9 points per game while shooting 44.4% from the field in just 26.9 minutes per contest. The versatile 6′ 7″ Storr does damage from all over the court, hitting 31.6% from three-point range as well. He contributes 3.5 rebounds per game thanks to his size on the wing.

Storr will face an intriguing matchup in Nebraska’s Keisei Tominaga. The senior guard has been red-hot this year, scoring 13.6 points in only 25.1 minutes per game off the Huskers’ bench. Tominaga has been unconscious from deep, drilling an impressive 37.2% of his 6.3 three-point attempts per game. He adds solid passing and defense as well with 1.1 steals per contest.

However, the 6′ 2″ Tominaga gives up significant size against the lengthy Storr. He will need help on the defensive end dealing with Storr’s strength and versatility as a scorer. If Storr can exploit his mismatch in the post or find open jumpers over Tominaga, he could be poised for a big night. But Tominaga always poses a three-point threat who can quickly swing momentum with his long-range shot-making. This individual matchup could determine which team’s supporting cast steps up for a crucial Big Ten victory.

The Wisconsin Badgers possess a balanced and efficient playing style, averaging 76 points over 20 games.

Combined with their potency on defense averaging 6 steals and 1.7 blocks each game makes the Badgers an imposing opponent!

Cornhuskers’ High-Octane Offense

Nebraska Cornhuskers narrowly edge Wisconsin Badgers in scoring, averaging 77.2 points per game on average.
