Huskers turn tense game into rout in first big test of season

James Palmer scored 29 points after a horrific start, Nebraska overcame massive foul trouble and the Huskers moved to 3-0 with an 80-57 win over Seton Hall at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

With its experienced starting five leading the way and solid contributions from its bench, Nebraska overcame a Seton Hall squad intent on mucking the game up and a bizarre, to say the least, stretch of officiating that saw the Huskers bench earn a technical foul and turn a potential nine-point Nebraska lead into just a two-point advantage.

Isaac Copeland added 18 points and 10 rebounds while Glynn Watson had 10 of his 13 points in the first half and added eight assists.
