LINCOLN, Neb. – On the same day that leading scorer Teddy Allen announced his departure from the Nebraska basketball team, the Huskers put up one of their most impressive offensive outputs of the season, routing NCAA Tournament hopeful Rutgers 72-51 at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The Huskers severely wounded the Scarlet Knights’ postseason aspirations, building leads as large as 30 points. Lat Mayen scored 20 of his career-high 25 points in the first half, leading three Huskers in double figures. Transfer Derrick Walker had his best scoring output as a Husker, chipping in 14 points and six boards, while Trey McGowens added 12.

The Huskers made eight three-pointers, led by Mayen’s 5-of-7 effort from behind the arc. Nebraska, meanwhile, limited Rutgers to just three three-pointers on 23 attempts.

Nebraska (7-17, 3-14 Big Ten) has now won its past two games. The Huskers will finish the regular season with road games at Iowa on Thursday and Northwestern on Sunday. Rutgers (13-10, 9-10) will wrap up the regular season at Nebraska, a team Nebraska defeated over the weekend.
