Maryland Terrapins at Nebraska Cornhuskers

Braden Frager scores 21 points to lead No. 12 Nebraska past Terrapins 74-61

The Huskers (24-4) improved to 13-4 in Big Ten play, matching their program record for conference wins and moving them into a tie for second place with Illinois.

Nebraska didn’t make its first field goal until almost six minutes into the game and battled through several cold spurts before capitalizing on some opportunities in transition in the second half. Frager made two free throws and a 3-pointer to give the Huskers the lead with nine minutes left, and Sandfort’s 3 off a steal gave them their first double-digit lead with 5:25 left.

The Huskers put the game away with a late 15-3 spurt.
