Huskers will try to bounce back from first loss of season

Pinnacle Bank Arena is where the Nebraska Cornhuskers (20-1) will go up against the Illinois Fighting Illini (18-3) on Sunday. The Illinois Fighting Illini played Washington and took home the win by a score of 75-66 in their last contest.

As I noted on Inside College Basketball late Tuesday on CBS Sports Network, it's possible Nebraska has more believers now at 20-1 than it had previously at 20-0 because playing Michigan to the buzzer on the road while down two key pieces isn't something to be dismissed.

PBA isn’t just a building anymore — it’s become part of Nebraska’s identity. With another sold out crowd, national attention and Illinois coming to town, Sunday feels bigger than just another game.

Hey Husker basketball fans, big news. The rest of the season, all 6 remaining home games for your 20 and 1 Huskers sold out. Now that's good news and bad news. It got us thinking, what's it cost to take *** family of 4 to *** Husker basketball game in Lincoln?

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have been one of the biggest stories of the entire 2025-26 season. Fred Hoiberg has this team rollin'.

ANN ARBOR – No. 3-ranked Michigan basketball proved its mettle with a fierce 75-72 win over unbeaten No. 5 Nebraska, its toughest test yet. Michigan’s scrappy defense clamped down late, stymying a series of turnovers and holding the Cornhuskers to just one three-point bucket in the second half.
