Nebraska MBB Recap: Huskers Tame the Lindenwood Lions 94-60

FIRST HALF ANALYSIS:

Pryce Sandfort decided he wasn’t going to let Lindenwood have the lead for long. The Lions scored the first bucket of the game, and then it went downhill for them from there. A quick 8-0 run keyed by back-to-back 3’s by Sandfort and the Huskers raced out to a lead. Nebraska blew the door open early and took advantage of some sloppy turnovers by Lindenwood.
