LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Andrew White III had career highs with 35 points and six 3-pointers, and Nebraska held Penn State to two field goals over 17 ½ minutes in a 70-54 victory on Saturday.
The Cornhuskers (14-12, 6-7 Big Ten) turned a close game into a rout with a 39-7 run. Penn State (12-13, 3-9) was just 2 of 16 in the stretch while Nebraska pulled away and shot over 46 percent for the game.
The Huskers had lost four of their previous five games and were playing their second straight game without Shavon Shields, who continues to recover from a concussion sustained a week ago.
