Back at home to regroup after whatever that Rutgers game was, Nebraska needed to win at home against Ohio State, a team struggling as of late as well, losing their last five games.
The Huskers started out hot, with James Palmer Jr and Isaiah Roby making back to back threes, and Glynn Watson Jr. driving to the rim to extend an early lead to 8-2. However of course the offense randomly went stagnant for a couple minutes, and let Ohio State take a 9-8 lead at the U16 media timeout.
