Huskers Fall at No. 25 Ohio State

Columbus, Ohio – Nebraska could not overcome a cold-shooting night, as the Huskers fell at No. 25 Ohio State, 90-54, in Columbus on Wednesday evening. 

The Huskers (4-6, 0-3 Big Ten) shot just 28.3 percent on the night, including 24.3 percent in the first half, as Ohio State built a 38-21 halftime lead. 

Nebraska took an early lead and was tied at 13 after a Teddy Allen 3-pointer with 13:15 left in the half, but the Huskers had just one field goal the remainder of the half. Despite the cold spell, NU was within 33-21 after Trey McGowens' 3-pointer with 2:59 left in the half, but the Buckeyes scored the final five points to push the lead to 17. 

The Huskers pulled to within 14 on a McGowens 3-point play on the Huskers' first second-half possession, but OSU put the game out of reach with a 12-2 spurt and cruised to the win. 

Allen was the only Husker to finish in double figures, finishing with 13 points, while Justin Ahrens led five Ohio State (8-2, 2-2 Big Ten) players in double figures with 18 points, including 6-of-9 from 3-point range.

The Huskers will return home and take on No. 17 Michigan State Saturday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. (central) and will be televised on BTN and carried on the Learfield IMG Husker Sports Network
