Nebraska men’s basketball team looks to earn its place in school history on Tuesday, as the Huskers travel to UCLA. Tipoff from historic Pauley Pavilion is slated for 10 p.m. (Central) and the game will be televised on FS1, broadcast on the Huskers Radio Network, as well as on Huskers.com and on the official Huskers app. The game will also be available on the Fox Sports and Fox One apps.
The Huskers (25-4, 14-4 B1G) started their West Coast trip with an 82-67 win at USC on Saturday. Nebraska roared back from a 36-31 halftime deficit by shooting 53 percent in the second half and outscored USC, 51-31 after the break. Pryce Sandfort had 20 of his game-high 32 points in the second half, while Braden Frager and Rienk Mast finished with 17 and 11 points, respectively, for the winners. The Huskers won the game with strong rebounding, enjoying a 41-25 advantage on the glass while turning 18 offensive rebounds into a season-high 19 second-chance points.
Sandfort’s third 30-point game of the season included five 3-pointers, and the junior forward is now within striking distance of the Big Ten record for most 3-pointers in conference play. He is just five 3-pointers away from Shawn Respert’s mark set in 1994-95. The Huskers, who are seeking to lock in one of the four triple-byes for next week’s Big Ten Tournament, can tie the school record for wins in a season with a victory over UCLA on Tuesday.
UCLA (19-10, 11-7 B1G) looks to rebound following a 78-73 road loss to Minnesota on Saturday. Tyler Bilodeau had a game-high 32 points and eight rebounds while Eric Dailey Jr. and Skyy Clark combined for 35 points in a losing effort. UCLA shot 51 percent, including 10 3-pointers and out-rebounded the Gophers, 30-20, but Minnesota shot 58 percent from the field, including 12-of-23 from 3-point range to pull the upset.
312 – Nebraska’s 312 3-pointers this season is seven shy of the school record of 319 set in 2023-24. NU has hit 10-or-more 3-pointers in 19 games this season.
According to Stathead, Sam Hoiberg is the only player nationally at 6-0 or under averaging at least five rebounds per game this season. Over the past six seasons, only two power conference players 6-0 or under have grabbed 5 or more rebounds per game (Braden Smith, 2023-24; RJ Davis, 2022-23).
