KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- When James Palmer went to the bench with his second foul and Nebraska leading Missouri State by just five with more than eight minutes to play in the first half, things didn't change much for the Huskers.
That speaks to another strong effort fro the NU bench, which continued to show signs of being a group the Huskers can rely on as the season progresses.
Nebraska extended the lead to as many as 12 points in the first half before settling for a seven-point halftime lead en route to an 85-62 win against Missouri State at the Sprint Center.
