The No. 12/10 (AP/Coaches) Nebraska men’s basketball team embarks on its final trip of the regular season this weekend, as the Huskers travel to USC this Saturday afternoon. Tipoff from the Galen Center is set for 3 p.m. (Central) and the game will be televised 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 (23-4, 12-4 B1G) come off a 74-61 win over Maryland on Wednesday night. Nebraska used an 18-3 second-half run to seize control of the contest in the final 10 minutes to pick up its 13th Big Ten win. Braden Frager‘s 21 points led four Huskers in double figures, as he posted his sixth 20-point game off the bench. The redshirt freshman also tied his career high with eight rebounds. Pryce Sandfort had 16 points, eight rebounds and four assists, while Rienk Mast (13) and Sam Hoiberg (12) joined Frager and Sandfort in double figures.
With three games left in the regular season, Sandfort is making a push to become the Big Ten’s single-season 3-point leader in conference play. He enters Saturday’s game needing 10 to match Shawn Respert’s single-season mark of 80 set in 1994-95.
The Huskers will be looking for a school-record 14th conference win, as the 2025-26 Huskers matched the school record with 13 conference wins set in 2017-18. NU is also 6-2 in Big Ten road games heading into the final two-game West Coast swing.
USC (18-10, 7-10 B1G) comes off an 81-62 loss at crosstown rival UCLA on Tuesday. Chad Baker-Mazara had a team-high 25 points, including 5-of-9 from 3-point range, and eight rebounds while Alijah Arenas added 10 points in the loss. USC was held to 35 percent shooting and committed 14 turnovers.
Nebraska Head Coach Fred Hoiberg and USC Coach Eric Musselman are two of only six active coaches in Division I who have coached in the NBA.
