Nebraska led 42-36 at the half. The game started off with a fair amount of sloppiness, with both teams committing multiple turnovers in the early going. Brice Williams was off to a good start as he scored the opening 8 points of the game. Andrew Morgan came off the bench to score Nebraska’s next 7 points. The Huskers started off shooting well, going 6-10 from the floor in the opening 8 minutes. Plenty of room for growth though as Nebraska committed 3 moving screens.
UTRGV came back just past the halfway point, tying the game at 21 thanks to good shooting from deep.
