One of the most outstanding individual scoring performances in Nebraska Cornhuskers’ basketball history was not enough to overcome a hefty rebounding disadvantage, another rash of turnovers, and a flurry of 3-pointers as Penn State (8-12 overall, 5-12 B1G) defeated Nebraska (5-16, 1-13) 86-83 at Pinnacle Bank Arena Tuesday night.
Despite playing on the losing side, junior guard Teddy Allen played the game of his college career, setting multiple school records in the process:
- 41 points, tying Aleks Maric for the most ever for a Husker in the regular season, just a point short of Eric Piatkowski’s school record 42 in a 1994 Big 8 tournament win over Oklahoma.
