No. 24 Nebraska will look to validate its first ranking in the Associated Press poll since 2014 when it faces Minnesota on Wednesday night in Minneapolis.
Nebraska (7-1) is coming off a 75-60 win over Illinois in its Big Ten opener on Sunday to add to their best start since 2003.
Senior James Palmer Jr. was able to get to the free throw line against the Illini, hitting 12 of 14 for a game-high 23 points. His ability to get to the foul line helped him overcome a lackluster shooting day from the field (4 of 12).
