Huskers Head to Clemson For Wednesday’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge

The Nebraska men’s basketball team finishes its four-game road trip on Wednesday evening, as the Huskers travel to Clemson, S.C., to take on the Tigers as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Tipoff at Littlejohn Coliseum is set for 8:15 p.m. (CT) and the game will be carried nationally on ESPNU and the WatchESPN app with Rich Hollenberg and Dino Gaudio on the call.

Fans can also listen to all of the action throughout the season on the IMG Husker Sports Network with Kent Pavelka and Matt Davison on the call, including on Huskers.com and the Huskers app.

The Huskers (4-2) will look to bounce back after dropping the third-place game, 66-53, to Virginia Tech at the Wooden Legacy Sunday afternoon. Nebraska was held to a season-low 53 points – 20 points below its season average entering the game – and shot just 29.8 percent from the field. Despite the cold-shooting effort, Nebraska had its opportunities late and was within 56-50 with 1:34 remaining before the Hokies put the game away at the foul line.

For Nebraska, senior Tai Webster continued his strong early-season run in Sunday’s game. The 6-foot-4 guard led the Huskers with 23 points and eight rebounds, matching his career high in both categories. Webster turned in a strong performance at the Wooden Legacy, averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in the three contests and is now fifth in the Big Ten in scoring at 18.5 points per game.

For Nebraska to pick up the road win and improve to 3-0 in ACC/Big Ten Challenge road games under Tim Miles, the Huskers will look to get a bounce back performance from Glynn Watson Jr. The sophomore guard averaged 23.5 points in NU’s first two games in California before being held to two points on 1-11 shooting against the Hokies. Despite the off-shooting day, Watson is second on the team in scoring at 13.3 points per game and leads the Big Ten in steals at 2.3 per contest.

Clemson comes into Wednesday’s matchup with a 3-2 record following an 83-74 win over High Point last Friday. The Tigers feature six players averaging double-figures led by All-ACC performer Jaron Blossomgame, who is averaging 18.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.
