Following a nine-day break for final exams, the Nebraska men’s basketball team looks to hit the road, as the Huskers travel to Eugene, Ore., to take on the Oregon Ducks Saturday afternoon.
Tipoff from Matthew Knight Arena is set for 3:36 p.m.
Saturday’s game will be carried on SUNNY 101.3
Nebraska looks to rebound following a 64-42 loss to No. 16 Creighton on Dec. 6, a game that snapped the Huskers’ two-game win streak
Despite the loss, the Huskers have played well during the first month of the season despite relying on six scholarship players for most of the stretch.
Nebraska will look for its third win against a power-conference school in the non-conference schedule, the first time it has happened since 2007-08 and only the fourth time it has occurred at Nebraska in the last 15 seasons (also 2003-04, 1999-2000).
The Huskers will receive a stern test against an Oregon team which is 8-1 on the season including a win at UNLV. The Ducks, who were just out of the AP top 25 this week, average nearly 80 points per game and have five players averaging double figures. Oregon is a perfect 7-0 at home this season.
