It is time for the game that everyone has had circled on their calendars for weeks now, as No. 5 Nebraska, which just recently cracked into the Top 5 of the AP rankings, will take on No. 3 Michigan. This is the game that will have quite an effect on the Big Ten standings, as the Huskers are only one of three undefeated teams in all of college basketball and the only undefeated team in the conference.

Head coach Fred Hoiberg has completely turned this Nebraska team around, but tonight will be their toughest test of the season. The win a few weeks ago against Michigan State proved a lot for the Huskers, but this may not be a game that Nebraska can afford to get behind in.

Fans may have a difficult time watching this game if they do not have a Peacock subscription, as this is where this heavyweight matchup will be shown. Here is a full guide to everything you need to know for tonight's monster matchup in the Big Ten.
