Minnesota edged Nebraska 67-65 with a late three-pointer, overcoming a second-half rally to keep their postseason hopes alive.

  • Brennan Rigsby scored a career-high 20 points, including the game-winning three-pointer with 4.1 seconds left, to lead Minnesota to victory.
  • The Golden Gophers built a 19-point second-half lead but allowed Nebraska to storm back and briefly take the lead in the final seconds.
  • Lu'Cye Patterson contributed 16 points and assisted on Rigsby's decisive shot, despite playing through apparent pain.
  • Nebraska's Juwan Gary and Brice Williams each scored 21 points, but the Cornhuskers struggled with free throws, shooting just 55% from the line.
  • The win improves Minnesota's Big Ten record to 7-11 as they fight for a conference tournament spot, while Nebraska's NCAA tournament hopes take a hit with their third straight loss.
