NU BASKETBALL:

The Huskers got things rolling last night and used a 17-1 run late in the first half on their way to a 50-25 halftime lead. The second half saw more of the same as the Huskers nailed a 3pt shot on 3 straight possession as they continued to outscore Alabma State 2-1 with a 62-31 lead. The 80-51 final marked NU's first 80 point outing in 26 games. NU has held all six opponents under 60 thus far--a feet not matched since WW II. NU managed season highs in scoring, 3 pt makes-14, assists-23, fg% 56% and 3pt %-51.7%.

The Huskers return to action on Sunday at 1:00 PM for a nationally televised (FSN) game against Arizona State--who features one of the nation's best offenses lead by 6'9" forward Jeff Pendergraph and difficult to crack zone defense.
