The Nebraska men’s basketball team will close out the 2020 portion of their schedule tomorrow with a road game at nationally ranked Ohio State.

The Huskers fell to 4-and-5 on the season and 0-and-2 in Big Ten play after falling at nationally ranked Michigan, 80-69, on Christmas Day. The Huskers and Buckeyes tipoff tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. (CT)

The Nebraska women will face the defending Big Ten regular-season champion No. 16 Northwestern on New Year’s Eve at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tip-off between the Huskers and Wildcats is set for 1:00 p.m.
