First Half


In the opening half, Nebraska set the tone early by establishing a commanding lead. The team capitalized on efficient shooting, hitting 51 percent from the field and an impressive 38 percent from beyond the arc. Pryce Sandfort led Big Red's charge with his sharp shooting skills, contributing significantly to Nebraska's first-half tally of 41 points. Meanwhile, Rienk Mast played a pivotal role in orchestrating plays and securing rebounds.


The Huskies struggled to keep pace despite their efforts in scoring inside the paint. They managed to put up 28 points by halftime but were unable to close the gap due to turnovers and missed opportunities from beyond three-point range.


Second Half


As play resumed, Nebraska continued its relentless pursuit of victory. The second half saw them maintain defensive pressure while executing fast breaks effectively. Jamarques Lawrence emerged as a key player during this period with crucial assists that kept Washington on its toes.


Washington attempted a comeback by increasing their offensive output in this half but fell short against Nebraska's well-coordinated defense which allowed only limited second-chance points for Dawgs' offense.


Final Moments


In closing moments of playtime when stakes were high for both sides; it was Quentin Rhymes who sealed deal through strategic plays ensuring no room left open for any last-minute surprises from opponents’ side thus securing another win under belt!
