Nebraska men\u2019s basketball continues to break school records this season.<\/p>\n
The latest: the 2025-26 squad moved up to No. 8 in the updated Associated Press poll on Monday, tying the highest ranking in program history.<\/p>\n
The Huskers spent one week at No. 8 in February 1966, which is the only other time the program was ranked that high.<\/p>\n
Other school records broken this season include the best record to start a season, with this year\u2019s team sitting at 16-0. Dating back to last season, the Big Red own the longest winning streak in program history and the longest active streak nationally at 20 consecutive wins.<\/p>\n
Most recently, the Huskers came back from 16 points down on Saturday to defeat the Indiana Hoosiers on the road, 83-77. Senior guard Jamarques Lawrence netted his career highs in points with 27, and for 3-pointers made with five.<\/p>\n
With the win, Nebraska has now won five straight games in its series against traditional basketball power Indiana.<\/p>\n
Up next, the Cornhuskers host Oregon at 8 p.m. CT on Tuesday. The Big Ten Network will televise the contest.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Nebraska will travel to the east again, facing off with Northwestern at 3 p.m. CT, also on the Big Ten Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nebraska men\u2019s basketball continues to break school records this season.
