Free throws played a major part, with the Huskers shooting 15-of-18 while the Hawks hit 7-of-9. Nebraska also outstole the ball, earning 10 against its opponent’s two.

Pryce Sandfort and Sam Hoiberg led the charge for Nebraska, combining for 37 points after going 15-of-23 from the floor. Sandfort matched his Florida International outing, shooting 8-of-13 from the floor and 3-of-8 from beyond the arc to tally 19 points. He also secured a season-high five rebounds.

Hoiberg, meanwhile, scored a career-high 18 points in the win after going 7-of-10 from the floor. He also led Nebraska in rebounds with seven and steals with four. Berke Büyüktuncel finished with the third-most points for the Huskers, scoring eight after shooting 2-of-8 from the floor and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line. He hauled six rebounds and a team-high three blocks as well.
