LINCOLN, Neb. -- Shavon Shields scored 19 of his 24 points in the first half and Nebraska rolled to an 84-59 win over Minnesota on Tuesday night.
The Cornhuskers' 25-point margin of victory is their largest against Minnesota in a 64-game series that dates to 1902.
Shields made 7 of 10 field goals and 9 of 11 free throws, and had matched a game-high with eight rebounds. Andrew White III added 15 points for Nebraska (10-8, 2/3 Big Ten), which has won consecutive games since it snapped a three-game skid. Michael Jacobson, Tai Webster and Ed Morrow chipped in nine points apiece.
