Unlike most Big Ten teams the Huskers did what they had to do in the annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Boston College came in to Lincoln and tried to take home a win but the Husker shooting early on doomed their chances of doing so. Even with a couple of dry spells shooting the big red was able to build enough of a lead and took down the Eagles 71 to 62.
The Huskers took the lead early in the game and even with Boston College getting to within 1 point of them they never lost the lead the entire game.
