The Nebraska Cornhuskers secured a convincing 73-55 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday, thanks to their stellar defense and strong rebounding efforts. Despite a slow start, Nebraska was able to pull away for the win, with Juwan Gary leading the way with a standout performance.
Gary exploded in the second half, scoring 22 points and draining four 3-pointers to help Nebraska extend their lead. Minnesota, known for their physical style of play, struggled to keep up with Nebraska’s intensity. The Golden Gophers also had trouble getting their shots to fall, with sharpshooter Cam Christie having a tough night from the field.
Elijah Hawkins, the Big Ten’s leader in assists, was also unable to generate much offense for Minnesota, further contributing to their downfall in the game. Nebraska’s strong defensive effort and dominance on the boards ultimately proved to be too much for their opponents to handle.
The win improves Nebraska’s record to 14-6 on the season, while Minnesota drops to 10-10. The Cornhuskers will look to carry this momentum into their next matchup, while the Golden Gophers will need to regroup and refocus before their next game. Overall, it was a solid performance from Nebraska, showcasing their ability to overcome a slow start and secure a decisive victory on their home court.
