Lincoln, Neb. – In front of a lively home crowd at Pinnacle Bank Arena, the No. 25 Nebraska Huskers rolled past Lindenberg University with a decisive 94-60 victory on Wednesday night. The win improves Nebraska’s record to 3-0 on the season and showcases the early-season chemistry of the squad.
Key performances spark the win
Guard Pryde Sandfort and forward Damon Wilkinson combined for 41 points, driving the Huskers’ offensive surge. Wilkinson knocked down both of his three‑point attempts during a 40-9 run that gave Nebraska a commanding lead before the first media timeout. Sandfort contributed three of his six made three‑pointers in that stretch and finished 7‑of‑14 from the field, including 6‑of‑12 from beyond the arc.
Wilkinson was efficient all night, shooting 7‑of‑8 from the floor, while Sandfort’s shooting helped Nebraska maintain a 51.6% field‑goal percentage overall. The Huskers posted a 61‑point first half, shooting an impressive 65.6% from the field, and continued to press defensively, forcing 18 turnovers for the second straight game. Those forced errors translated into 19 easy points.
Supporting contributions
Beyond the star duo, the Huskers received solid contributions from the rest of the lineup. Braden Frager added 14 points, while Cale Jacobsen and Boden Kapke each chipped in seven points. The balanced scoring effort underscored Nebraska’s depth and the coaching staff’s ability to get multiple players involved.
Lindenberg struggled to find a rhythm, shooting just 35.5% as a team and committing a high number of turnovers. Their early two points were the only score they managed before Nebraska’s relentless offense took over.
Looking ahead
The Huskers will travel to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, next Sunday for a neutral‑site matchup against Boise State. The game is slated to tip off at noon and will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network, offering fans another opportunity to see the team build on its early success.
With a strong start to the season, Nebraska’s coaching staff appears confident that the blend of veteran leadership and emerging talent will keep the Huskers competitive in the challenging Big Ten schedule.
