#Gophers coach Ben Johnson saw firsthand how Nebraska's homecourt advantage was built while he was an assistant in Lincoln @StribSports https://t.co/6t2fWGTcBQ

HALF | Nebraska 28, Minnesota 20 Not the prettiest half of basketball, but Nebraska's ahead.
Parker Fox gets back-to-back putbacks. š @Parkerfox24 x @GopherMBB šŗ: @BigTenNetwork https://t.co/Y4zZxugo9l
Make that eight six straight points for @Parkerfox24 after his second dunk to make it 26-20 Nebraska https://t.co/sl7IPNIa5E
#Gophers had some scorching first halves lately but tonight is the total opposite. #Huskers showing why they have a top 50 defense in the country. Holding MN to 25% shooting and 1-for-10 from three.
The #Huskers are riding a 14-2 run that includes an 8-0 spurt that's still alive. Nebraska leads Minnesota 26-14 with 3:23 before half. Brice Williams had half of those 14 points and leads the team with two steals so far.
Nothing for #Gophers since then outscored 14-2 to trail 26-14 at Nebraska https://t.co/wK2WjBkm3D
Pharrel Payne cleans things up. šŖ @pharrelpayne x @GopherMBB šŗ: @BigTenNetwork https://t.co/5GlKIJ6S6P
Payne, Christie and Mitchell are 0-9 from the field. Garcia only has one field goal attempt. #Gophers shooting 5-for-18 and have six turnovers and still only trail 18-12. Ben Johnson timeout.
A 6-0 run gets the PBA crowd juiced and forces Ben Johnson to call timeout as the #Huskers push their lead to 18-12. Mast with a layup and free throw while Brice Williams connected on a 3.
Hawkins with seven points. Rest of #Gophers starters have just 3 points so far with under nine minutes left in the first half. It's tied 12-12 at Nebraska.
Seven turnovers for both teams combined right now with six field goals. Ugly Big Ten ball to start #Gophers #Huskers
1H, 15:40 | A slow start offensively for both squads with Minnesota leading Nebraska, 5-4. Lots of missed shots on both sides. Minnesota, on a drought of 3:04, is shooting 33% early and Nebraska is shooting 25% early.
Sunday night hoops in Lincoln, Nebraska. Minnesota (17-9, 8-7) at Nebraska (19-8, 9-7). Huskers are looking to reach 20 wins in the regular season for the seventh time in program history. https://t.co/MaBftTAn4F
