For the second consecutive game, the Nebraska men’s basketball team entered halftime with a surprisingly comfortable lead.
In a conference game, no less.
“I told myself at halftime, ‘It’s not this easy. Do not fall for that trick,’ ” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said.
Only, it was easy.
Once again playing the role of the windshield, and not the bug, Nebraska used a 29-4 first-half run to bury Minnesota 84-59 on Tuesday night before 12,327 fans at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Nebraska, coming off a 90-56 victory at Rutgers on Saturday, topped 80 points in consecutive conference games for the first time since 2002.
