Despite leading by 18 points with just over 15 minutes left to play –– and out-rebounding Nebraska 29-11 in the first half –– Northwestern was outscored 47-28 in the second half, dropping its third straight contest in a 68-64 loss. Junior forward Nick Martinelli and graduate student guard Ty Berry each scored 23 points for the Wildcats (13-13, 4-11 Big Ten) while Brice Williams posted 21 points for the Cornhuskers (17-9, 7-8 Big Ten) Sunday.
