Hot-shooting Michigan ends Nebraska win streak

Sophomore forward Duncan Robinson scored 21 points and junior guard Derrick Walton Jr. scored 19, and Michigan shot 68.2 percent from the field in the second half to defeat Nebraska 81-68 on Saturday before a sold-out crowd of 15,725 fans at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Michigan (15-5, 5-2 Big Ten Conference) has never lost to Nebraska since the Huskers entered the Big Ten in 2011.

Nebraska (12-9, 4-4) had its four-game winning streak snapped and was coming off Wednesday’s 72-71 victory at No. 11 Michigan State.

Leading by three points, Michigan opened the second half on a 16-3 run and led by as many 18 points while making its first nine attempts from the field after halftime.
