Nebraska Cornhuskers Set to Face Florida A&M in Season’s Second Showdown

Lincoln, NE – The Nebraska Cornhuskers are gearing up for their second game of the season, hosting the Florida A&M Rattlers at the Pinnacle Bank Arena this Thursday. The Huskers are looking to build on their solid start after a convincing 84-52 victory over Lindenwood, where the team’s depth and talent were on full display.

With five players hitting double digits in their previous game, Nebraska showcased a well-rounded attack, despite missing two of their top returning scorers. Fresh faces made significant contributions, with Rienk Mast and Brice Williams each adding 13 points to the tally.

Now, as they welcome Florida A&M, the Huskers aim to continue their momentum. The Rattlers are coming off a tough 105-54 defeat against Creighton and will be facing a challenging early-season schedule that includes this trip to Lincoln. Nebraska fans are eager to see if the home team can replicate their shooting prowess, having hit nine 3-pointers in the first half against Lindenwood, and whether the defensive solidity that held Lindenwood to just 32.4 percent shooting can be sustained.

The game is not televised but can be streamed online via B1G Plus, with radio coverage provided by the Huskers Radio Network. For fans looking to support in person, tickets are available online, ensuring a chance to witness the action live.

As the Huskers prepare for tipoff, the air in Lincoln is electric with anticipation. The team is not just playing for another win but also for the pride of continuing a strong home performance. Under the guidance of Coach Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska basketball looks to make a statement that the Cornhuskers mean business this season.
