The No. 5/5 (AP/Coaches) Nebraska men’s basketball team looks to remain on top of the Big Ten race Tuesday evening, as the Huskers travel to No. 3/3 Michigan. Tipoff from Crisler Center in Ann Arbor is set for 6 p.m. (central) and the game will be carried on Peacock, broadcast on the Huskers Radio Network, as well as on Huskers.com and on the official Huskers app. In addition, YouTube TV subscribers can also find the game on the NBC Sports Network.
The Huskers (20-0, 9-0 B1G) remained perfect on the season following a 76-57 road win at Minnesota on Saturday. The Huskers trailed 40-32 with 17:32 remaining but closed the game on a 44-17 spurt. NU held Minnesota to three field goals over the next 13:04 to flip the contest. Pryce Sandfort had 20 of his game-high 22 points in the second half while also setting season bests in rebounds (10) and blocked shots (four). Sam Hoiberg and Jamarques Lawrence had 14 points apiece and combined for 12 of the Huskers’ 24 assists on the day.
Sandfort has been on a tear as of late, as the 6-foot-7 junior wing is averaging 23.8 points per game on 56 percent shooting, including 53 percent from 3-point range, over the last four contests. He enters the week leading the Big Ten in 3-pointers (67) and is fourth in 3-point percentage (.417).
The Huskers, whose 20-0 start is the best in program history, are a program-best fifth in this week’s AP poll and bidding for their first 10-0 conference start in conference play since 1965-66.
Michigan (18-1, 8-1 B1G) comes off a 76-62 win over Ohio State on Friday. Yaxel Lendeborg had 18 points and nine rebounds to pace four Wolverines in double figures. Michigan shot 54 percent in the second half and pulled away in the final nine minutes. The Huskers will look to slow down a high-powered attack that leads the Big Ten in scoring offense (91.7 ppg) and field goal percentage (.517).
Nebraska jumped to fifth in the NET rankings released on Jan. 25 following the win at Minnesota. The Huskers are one of five Big Ten teams in the top 10 of the NET (No. 2 Michigan, No. 5 Nebraska, No. 6 Illinois, No. 9 Purdue and No. 10 Michigan State). No other conference has more than two currently in the top 10 of the NET.
