After a devastating second-half collapse Thursday, it was nice to see Nebraska men’s basketball be the stronger team after halftime Sunday.
Trailing 44-37 two minutes after the break, the Huskers (3-1) utilized a trio of 8-0 runs to take control and pull away for the 82-58 victory. The Golden Lions did not put together more than two-consecutive baskets in the second-half.
The Huskers made 53.7 percent of their shots, including 7-of-19 on three-pointers.
Juwan Gary led the scoring with 17 points while grabbing seven rebounds. CJ Wilscher was next with 15 points and a trio of triples.
Blase Keita notched a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Sam Griesel managed the offense to the tune of seven assists to go with his seven points.
Nebraska goes on the road Thanksgiving weekend for three games in the ESPN Events Invitational. The Huskers open with Oklahoma Thursday.
