Nebraska’s gameplan coming into this game was no secret, because it’s the same one they used the last three years in this series and have made their defensive identity in an undefeated start to the 2025-26 season. They pack the paint to take away close-range shots, clog passing lanes to prevent free-flowing ball movement and force them to pass it to the corners, then use the baseline as an extra defender. And because their defenders spend most of their time inside the arc to accomplish those goals, they’re OK with their opponent attempting statistically lower-percentage three-pointers.
