Oregon State has a pretty decent offense, going for 81.3 ppg, so it will be a big test for Nebraska’s defense.
Oregon State’s schedule to date has been rather weak, too, so this will be a big step up. The Beavers have won three games, including two victories in overtime against Troy and Appalachian State. However, again, they have played all lower-level or mid-tier teams. ‘Nebrasketball’ heads into this game with one of the better defenses with 54.8 ppg allowed, while limiting teams to 32.8 percent shooting from the field. However, that’s against the likes of Lindenwood, Florida A&M, Rider and Stony Brook, not exactly a murderer’s row of opponents. Nebraska has opened with an impressive 4 wins in four tries, including three covers. The Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Oregon State Beavers meet on a neutral floor at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D.
