The Nebraska men’s basketball team looks for its second straight win Saturday afternoon, as the Huskers travel to Penn State. Tipoff from the Bryce Jordan Center is set for 1:15 p.m. (central) and the contest with the Nittany Lions will be televised nationally on BTN and carried on the Huskers Radio Network. It will also be available on the Fox Sports app.
The Huskers (10-9, 3-5 Big Ten) have been challenged away from home as Saturday’s game will be Nebraska’s fourth road game in six games this month. In all, NU will play six of its nine games this month on the road, and Saturday’s game presents an opportunity to snag another Quad 2 win. As of Jan. 19, Nebraska has played the second-hardest schedule in the country according to the NET (Kansas is No. 1) and Saturday’s game at Penn State will be NU’s 13th game against either a Quad 1 or Quad 2 opponent this season.

Nebraska’s defense was the story in the Huskers 63-60 win over Ohio State on Wednesday night. The Huskers held OSU to 35.7 percent shooting, limiting a Buckeye offense which was sixth nationally in offensive efficiency to 0.83 points per possession and a season-low 60 points. NU is now 35th in defensive efficiency, which is the highest the Huskers have been since the 2014-15 season. Last year, Nebraska was 178th nationally in defensive efficiency.
Sam Griesel led a balanced attack with 15 points, including 10 in the second half, while all nine Huskers who played got into the scoring column despite missing rotational players Juwan Gary (shoulder) and Blaise Keita (ankle).
