Coming of a strong win over Providence, the No. 25/24
(AP/Coaches) Nebraska men’s basketball team returns home Wednesday night to host Lindenwood.

Nebraska comes off an impressive 67-58 win over Providence Saturday evening in a tough environment. NU won it on the defensive end, holding Providence to 30.6 percent shooting and forcing 18 Friar turnovers which led to 20 Husker points. The Huskers had 12 steals in the win, including four by Braden Frager and three by Cale Jacobsen.
Offensively, the Huskers put four players in double figures, including a game-high 25 points from Pryce Sandfort, who hit 9-of-14 shots. Nebraska’s inside game was productive as the duo of Boden Kapke and Damon Wilkinson combined for 19 points and 12 rebounds, as Kapke had 13 points on just six shots while Wilkinson grabbed a team-high seven rebounds in 18 minutes.
Sandfort has picked up right where he left off last season, as the senior is averaging 22.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game while shooting 59 percent from the field. He has three straight 20-point efforts dating back to last season’s NCAA Tournament.
Jarek’s Pre-Tipoff Thoughts:
Lindenwood has put up a boatload of points in their last two contests, but they have played Division II opponents. Nebraska looked pretty good against Providence. Defensively, Nebraska pretty well controlled what the Friars did. Once the Huskers figured out had to control the boards, it was fairly smooth sailing. Nebraska shouldn’t have that much trouble with Lindenwood.
The Huskers enter the week ranked 25th in the polls. That should hopefully climb here in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully Braden Frager shoots better from deep. If not, maybe Connor Essegian will get some minutes to help with the shooting issues. Nebraska should win this fairly easily. Score Prediction: Nebraska 91 Lindenwood 64
