Nebraska's pace versus Wisconsin's patience highlight clash of styles between hoops teams

Nebraska guard Dachon Burke (11) drives to the basket against Indiana’s Rob Phinisee (10) and Armaan Franklin in the second half Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Wisconsin ... does not.

There isn't a more stark contrast of styles in the Big Ten than Fred Hoiberg's sports car lining up against Badgers coach Greg Gard's bulldozer — pace and space against patience and precision. Drive and kick against screen and cut.

Of all the things Nebraska must do to give itself a chance against the Badgers, controlling the pace is right near the top of the list.
