LINCOLN, Neb. -- James Palmer scored a season-high 30 points, Thomas Allen had a career-high 18 and No. 24 Nebraska beat Creighton 94-75 on Saturday night, ending a seven-game losing streak to its in-state rival.
Creighton's Mitch Ballock made his first six shots, all 3-pointers, and finished 7 for 10 from long range with 23 points. His efforts weren't nearly enough on a night the Huskers put together their best game on both ends of the court.
The sellout crowd at Pinnacle Bank Arena began chanting "Go Big Red!" as the Huskers nursed a 19-point lead with under two minutes to play.
