The Nebraska Cornhuskers return to Lincoln to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini Tuesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The game marks the first home court advantage for the Huskers in 2023, having last hosted the Iowa Hawkeyes in a 66-50 blowout victory on Dec. 29, 2022.
The Huskers are clicking of late with a 2-1 mark in Big Ten action since league play resumed, including the program’s first ever overtime road win in the Big Ten and first in a conference matchup since Feb. 17, 2001. That victory came Saturday at Minnesota in an 81-79 thriller.
