The Nebraska Cornhuskers faced the Minnesota Golden Gophers for the second time this season, and avenged their 79-61 loss earlier this year in Dinkytown with a clutch 78-74 win in Lincoln led in huge ways by senior Husker guard and longtime resident Nordic God Thorir Thorbjarnarson.

As for the action Saturday night in Lincoln, Thor got the start and iced the finish with two clutch free throws to push the lead to its final four point margin.
