On a neutral court matchup in Kansas City that leaned a tad purple at least in crowd noise, the Nebraska Cornhuskers fell 71-56 to old Big 8/12 foe Kansas State in the Wildcat Classic at the T-Mobile Center. The Huskers move to 6-6 on the season, including a 1-2 road record and 0-2 Big Ten mark, while the Wildcats move to 10-1 overall, a program best since 2011.
Wilhelm Breidenbach led Nebraska in scoring with 13 points, a career-high mark for the sophomore big man. Breidenbach tied for third on the boards with five and added one steal and one block as well.
