The No. 9/9 (AP/Coaches) Nebraska men’s basketball team returns to action on Saturday, as the Huskers head to Piscataway, N.J. for a matchup with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Tipoff from Jersey Mike’s Arena is set for 11 a.m. (central) and the game will be carried on BTN, broadcast on the Huskers Radio Network, as well as on Huskers.com and on the official Huskers app. The game will also be available on the Fox Sports and Fox One apps.
The Huskers (20-2, 9-2 B1G) look to bounce back following a 78-69 loss to then No. 9 Illinois on Sunday. Braden Frager paced Nebraska with 20 points off the bench to lead four Huskers in double figures in a losing effort. The Huskers led 39-33 at halftime, but Keaton Wagler had 23 of his 23 points in the second half for the Fighting Illini, who moved into a tie for the Big Ten lead with the win.
Frager, who had missed NU’s previous two games because of a sprained ankle, hit six 3-pointers as Nebraska went 15-of-35 from beyond the arc in the loss. The freshman has scored 20+ points in three of his last four games, as he missed the final 30+ minutes of NU’s game against Washington with the injury.
The Husker lead the Big Ten and rank 11th nationally with 11.0 3-pointers per game and the 243 3-pointers this year already rank seventh in school history. Four Huskers have at least 35 3-pointers, including Pryce Sandfort, who leads the Big Ten with 77 3-pointers this season.
Rutgers (9-14, 2-10 B1G) returns home after going 0-2 on its West Coast trip. Despite 18 points from freshman Kaden Powers, the Scarlet Knights lost at UCLA, 98-66, as the Bruins shot 56 percent from the field, including 12-of-21 from 3-point range. Rutgers has been much better at home, posting both of its Big Ten wins and had a seven-point lead against Michigan State with less than three minutes remaining before falling in OT in its last home contest.
With a win on Saturday at Rutgers, the Huskers will be the 10th team in school history to win at least 21 games, which would include each of the past three seasons.
The Huskers now have three straight 20-win seasons for the first time in school history. In addition, Nebraska has already won 20 games, marking the eighth time in program history that Nebraska has won 20-or-more games in the regular season.
Nebraska is 5-1 on the road in Big Ten play in 2025-26. The five wins on the road in conference play already ties a school record for most conference road wins in a season, set four other times, most recently in 1965-66. Nebraska won its first five Big Ten road games, matching the school’s longest road conference win streak since the 1965-66 season.
