Huskers Resume Rivalry with K-State - University of Nebraska

The Husker men's basketball team resumes one of its oldest rivalries on Sunday afternoon, as Nebraska hosts Kansas State at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tipoff for the first

huskers.com

Kansas State leads the all-time series, 127-93, but the teams have not played since a 61-57 Wildcat victory in Lincoln on Feb. 23, 2011. This marks the start of a three-year series with future matchups set for both 2022 (Manhattan) and 2023 (Kansas City).
The Huskers (5-6) have been off for final exams since a 99-68 loss against No. 18 Auburn in Atlanta on Dec. 11. That day, the Huskers ran into a red-hot Tiger squad that shot 51 percent from the field and went 14-of-31 from 3-point range. Auburn forced NU into a season-high 20 turnovers and turned them into 30 points. NU entered the contest in the top-20 nationally in turnover rate, but struggled against the Tigers' pressure.

The Wildcats have never played at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Kansas State comes into the matchup with a 6-3 record following a 82-64 win over Green Bay on Sunday. Markquis Nowell led three Wildcats in double figures with 22 points and eight assists, as KSU shot 62 percent in the first half in building a 46-30 halftime lead. Ismael Massoud added 17 points, while Mark Smith had 14 points and 10 boards for Kansas State, which shot 55 percent and had just eight turnovers. The Wildcats' best win in non-conference play was a 65-59 win at Wichita State, while their three losses have been neutral-site losses to Illinois and Arkansas as well as a one-point loss to Marquette on Dec. 8.

InsideNebraska - Nebraska Basketball Game Day: Kansas State

Here is what you need to know going into Nebraska's home game against former Big Eight/Big 12 rival Kansas State.

nebraska.n.rivals.com

3 KEYS TO VICTORY​

1. Find an identity on offense
Hoiberg hinted that he would slow down the pace with the ball and call out far more designed sets from the bench.
If nothing else, that would at least force the Huskers to use better movement, both with and without the ball, and create more quality shots per possession.
2. Get some shots to fall
Nebraska needs to start fast and see shots go in early, but that will be especially critical tonight against a KSU squad that makes everything difficult with the basketball.
3. Make hay at the line
With a team that has struggled to shoot all year going against one of the best defenses in college basketball, Nebraska is going to have to find ways to manufacture points and scoring opportunities. Huskers' best bet to create points might be at the free-throw line.
