CBS Sports graphic<\/span><\/p>\n The first half was weirder than it should’ve been, which led to a one-possession game at the break. But Nebraska eventually got going, pulled away and recorded an 86-55 win over New Hampshire on Tuesday that pushed the Cornhuskers to 13-0 on the season and left them as one of only six undefeated teams remaining in the sport.<\/p>\n “Of the 13 games, the thing I’ve been most impressed with [with] this group is how they’ve handled adversity and how they’ve been coachable,” Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said,\u00a0according to HuskerOnline’s Robin Washut. “We chewed them out pretty good at halftime today — and they responded in a big way.”<\/p>\n Nebraska is No. 13 in Wednesday morning’s updated CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings, where Michigan remains No. 1 for the 22nd consecutive day. Tuesday’s victory means the Cornhuskers have finished the non-league portion of their schedule undefeated for the first time since the 1928-29 season. Next up, on Friday, they’ll hop back into Big Ten play with a showdown against Tom Izzo’s Michigan State Spartans that’s scheduled to tip at 9 p.m. ET inside Pinnacle Bank Arena.<\/p>\n MSU is No. 9 in the Top 25 And 1.<\/p>\n Who could be next?

The first was a victory over Illinois three Saturdays ago in which Pryce Sandfort got 32 points. He was also the Cornhuskers’ leading scorer Tuesday, finishing with 19 points on 15 shots. So the 6-foot-7 forward is now averaging a career-high 16.5 points, a career-high 5.0 rebounds and a career-high 2.5 assists in 30.2 minutes per game. He’s one of the sport’s breakout stars after spending the previous two years averaging single-digits in points at Iowa.<\/p>\n If you’re curious, Nebraska and Iowa will play twice in the regular season. The first meeting is scheduled for Feb. 17 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The second is set for March 8 at Pinnacle Bank.<\/p>\n CBS Sports graphic The first half was weirder than it should’ve been, which led to a one-possession game at the break.
