In their last game against the Fighting Hawks, the Cornhuskers demonstrated offensive prowess by scoring 83 points with an impressive 58 percent shooting from inside the arc and maintaining a 46 percent field goal percentage overall. Their ability to convert opportunities into points was evident as they capitalized on turnovers, scoring 20 points off their opponent's mistakes. Additionally, they showed balanced playmaking with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.56.


The previous away game against Kansas State Wildcats saw the Cornhuskers secure a win despite shooting only 35 percent from the field and struggling from the free-throw line with just a 25 percent success rate. However, they made up for it with tenacity on defense and rebounding, grabbing a total of 57 rebounds and blocking four shots.
