But it wasn’t far off.
Nebraska’s rebuilt basketball program got an education in what the Husker-Creighton rivalry means to the other side Saturday as Creighton dominated the game’s opening 16 minutes and cruised to a 95-76 win at the CHI Health Center Omaha.
A 10-0 Nebraska run to end the game kept the final margin from being one of the largest in a Creighton victory in the series between the teams. The Huskers outscored the Bluejays 54-47 in the second half.
But, it was a rout from the start.
Nebraska missed its first eight shots while Creighton hit a pair of three-pointers in its first three possessions.
