Huskers Fall in Final Seconds

Corey Sanders finished with 25 points, including an offensive putback with 1.0 seconds remaining, as Nebraska suffered its second last second loss of the week, falling 65-64 at Rutgers on Saturday.
Nebraska led by one with 9.8 seconds remaining, and got Sanders, who was 11-of-18 from the field, to miss his first attempt off the backboard, but the Rutgers guard got the rebound and hit the game-winner off the glass.

Nebraska (9-10, 3-4 Big Ten) was unable to get a final shot in suffering its second straight loss in the last second.

Nebraska trailed 57-55 with 3:35 left before Jack McVeigh took, as the sophomore hit a trio of 3-pointers, in a two-minute span, the last of which gave the Huskers a 64-59 lead with 1:31 left.
