Nebraska Cornhuskers Set to Host Duquesne Dukes at Pinnacle Bank Arena
As the Nebraska Cornhuskers prepare to welcome the Duquesne Dukes to the Pinnacle Bank Arena, fans can anticipate an exciting clash on their home court. The Cornhuskers have been showing a strong performance in their recent outings, with a notable trend of high-scoring games.
In their last game against the Oregon State Beavers, Nebraska triumphed with 84 points, showcasing their offensive prowess by scoring 21 fast break points and dominating second-chance opportunities with 22 points. Their shooting was efficient from inside the arc at a 54 percent success rate and they managed to maintain a solid assist-to-turnover ratio of approximately 3.
Continuing this trend, when facing Stony Brook Seawolves at home, Nebraska once again put up an impressive total of 84 points. They excelled in paint scoring with 42 points and demonstrated remarkable accuracy in two-point field goals by converting nearly three-quarters of those attempts. Despite committing more turnovers than usual (14), they still managed to keep an assist-to-turnover ratio above one.
Against Rider Broncs earlier in the season, although scoring fewer overall points (64), Nebraska's defense was noteworthy as they limited Rider to just 50 points. The team's free-throw percentage was commendable at approximately 77 percent and they continued to capitalize on second-chance opportunities by adding another 13 points.
The upcoming game is expected to be influenced by Nebraska's ability to maintain these trends—efficient shooting from close range and capitalizing on fast breaks and second chances while keeping turnovers low. Fans should look for another high-energy performance as the team aims for consistency on both ends of the floor.
The game is scheduled for November 23rd at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE. Tip-off is set for local time (Central Time Zone) and fans can catch all the action live on BTN network channel number six hundred ten.
