Nebraska came into its matchup with Penn State last in the Big Ten, 1-16 in the conference play, 0-8 on the road and on a four game losing streak.
Holding a 20 point lead for much of the night, the Cornhuskers shocked the Nittany Lions in a 93-70 loss for the biggest margin of defeat in the Micah Shrewsberry era and in the blue and white’s penultimate regular-season game.
Both teams started the game hot from the field and traded baskets for the first five minutes, but once Nebraska’s offense got going, it wouldn’t be denied.
The Cornhuskers ripped off an 18-2 run spanning over three minutes as the clock ticked under 12 minutes.
