Nebraska's basketball team continues its flawless run, leaving Northwestern in the dust with a 77-58 victory. But here's where it gets controversial: Is this team truly invincible? The Huskers' nation-leading 22-game win streak has some questioning if they can be beaten.
The game in Chicago was never a trap, as Nebraska dominated from the start. The first half saw seven lead changes, but the Huskers eventually took control. After a Braden Frager layup, Pryce Sandfort completed a four-point play, putting Nebraska up five at halftime.
Out of the break, Northwestern hit a three-pointer, but Nebraska responded with a 7-0 run, taking a double-digit lead with 15:44 to go. The lead grew to nearly 20 points on multiple occasions, and Nebraska's shooting percentage of 50.9% (including 11-of-26 on three-pointers) proved too much for the Wildcats to handle.
The leading scorer, Nick Martinelli, tallied 22 points against the Huskers, but it wasn't enough to keep up with Nebraska's hot shooting. Frager and Sandfort combined for 42 points, with Sandfort scoring 22 points and making five triples.
Nebraska's next game is at home against Washington on Wednesday at 8 p.m. CST, televised on the Big Ten Network. But the real question remains: Can anyone stop this team? The Huskers' flawless run has sparked debate, and the comments section is open for discussion. Do you think Nebraska can maintain its perfect record? Or is this team destined to face a defeat? Share your thoughts and let's keep the conversation going!
