Nebraska and Penn State are trending in different directions, to say the least.The Cornhuskers hope to continue pushing toward an NCAA Tournament berth Wednesday when they visit the Nittany Lions, who are desperate to end a long losing streak.Nebraska (17-9, 7-8 Big Ten) has earned four wins against ranked opponents this season, including recent victories over then-No. 18 Illinois and then-No. 16 Oregon during its current 5-1 stretch.In their last matchup, the Cornhuskers nipped host Northwestern 68-64 on Sunday by rallying from a 20-point deficit. Leading scorer Brice Williams (19.5 points per game) scored 15 of his 21 points after halftime, while Juwan Gary tallied 13 of his 17 points after intermission, helping Nebraska storm to another league victory.”As I told the guys after the game,” said Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg, “it just goes to show you what we’re capable of when we play the right way, when we play with an edge.”Hoiberg also singled out center Braxton Meah (10 points, seven rebounds) in his postgame press conference. Meah had totaled nine points and 14 rebounds in his previous six games.Meanwhile, Penn State (13-13, 3-12) has lost seven straight and 11 of its last 12.
