Nebraska Battles Rutgers in a High-Stakes Clash: Live Updates and Game-Changing Highlights Inside
Here we go, folks — the No. 9 Nebraska men’s basketball squad, boasting a solid 20-2 record overall and 9-2 in conference play, is gearing up to hit the hardwood on the road against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, who haven’t had an easy run with a 9-14 overall mark and a rough 2-10 in their conference battles. The Huskers, fresh off tough losses to Illinois and Michigan last week, still sit comfortably in the top 10 of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, showing they’re no pushovers despite the recent hiccups. Offensively, Nebraska is lighting up the scoreboard with an 80-point average each game, shooting nearly 47.3% from the field, and connecting on 35.8% from beyond the arc. Defensively, they’re holding strong at 22nd nationally, allowing just 66 points per contest. Meanwhile, Rutgers is navigating choppy waters with a six-game losing slide and a meager 2-8 record this new year — their only wins being hard-fought overtimes against Oregon and Wisconsin. The storyline here? It’s the 22nd chapter in the Rutgers-Nebraska series, with Nebraska clinging to a razor-thin edge at 11-10, after last season’s narrow road loss to Rutgers.
