The No. 7/7 (AP/Coaches) Nebraska men’s basketball team looks for its 20th win of the season Saturday morning, as the Huskers travel to Minnesota. Tipoff from Williams Arena in Minneapolis is set for 11 a.m. and the game will be carried nationally on BTN and broadcast on the Huskers Radio Network, as well as on Huskers.com and on the official Huskers app.
The Huskers (19-0, 8-0 B1G) are coming off 76-66 win against Washington Wednesday evening. Nebraska shot 51 percent from the field and placed four in double figures, led by Pryce Sandfort‘s game-high 23 points. Sandfort had eight points in a 13-2 first-half run that helped NU build a 13-point lead, and the Huskers were in control the remainder of the contest. Sam Hoiberg added 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists while Rienk Mast (12) and Jamarques Lawrence (11) also finished in double figures.
Minnesota (10-8, 3-5 B1G) comes off an 82-74 overtime loss at Ohio State on Tuesday evening. The Gophers had two shots in the final seconds of regulation to win before going to overtime. Jaylen Crocker-Johnson led Minnesota with 26 points and eight rebounds while Cade Tyson added 15 points and five boards. Tyson has been one of the Big Ten’s top newcomers, averaging a team-high 20.5 ppg. Minnesota has been in its share of close games, as four of its last five games have been decided by three points or less or gone to overtime.
NU enters Saturday as one of three remaining unbeaten teams in Division I, joining Arizona and Miami (Ohio). Arizona hosts West Virginia on Saturday while Miami (Ohio) is off until hosting UMass on Jan. 27.
The Huskers are looking for their 24th straight win on Saturday. The 23-game win streak matches Michigan State, which won 23 games spanning the end of their 1999-2000 NCAA Championship season and the start of the 2000-01 season. Over the last 30 years, the only Big Ten teams with longer win streaks are Illinois (29, 2004-05) and Ohio State (24, 2010-11).
