Huskers light it up from deep in 88-74 win over Kennesaw St
The Nebraska Cornhuskers badly needed a win tonight to snap a five-game losing streak and finish out the non-conference schedule of the 2021-22 season as the Kennesaw State Owls came to Pinnacle Bank Arena. Despite trailing by as much as eight at the 11:09 mark in the first half, the Huskers made 15 three-pointers en-route to an 88-74 victory.
Nebraska set a new record under head coach Fred Hoiberg tonight with 15 made three-pointers. That snapped a five-game slump in which the team shot 31 percent or worse from three-point range. The Huskers ranked 353rd in the country out of 358 teams in three-point percentage as a result, averaging just 25.2 percent on the season.
