Hatters Return to Action Friday at Nebraska

Stetson men's basketball gets back to the grind after a nine-day break when the Hatters visit Nebraska, 8 p.m., Friday in Lincoln, Neb.

The Hatters (7-7) enter the game looking to snap a two-game losing skid. Stetson suffered a 74-55 loss against UCF in its final pre-holiday break contest on Dec. 19. After playing 12 games in the season's first 30 days, the Hatters have played just three times over the last three weeks due to final exams and holiday break.

Big Ten member Nebraska (9-5) has won two straight games, including an 85-68 win over Delaware State on Dec. 22.

The Hatters and Cornhuskers share two common opponents this season in Marist and UCF. Both Stetson and Nebraska went 2-0 against the Red Foxes, and 0-2 against the Knights.

Friday's game will be streamed live on Big Ten Network 2 Go.
