LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Andrew White had 21 points and eight rebounds and Nebraska defeated Rutgers 87-63 to end a three-game losing streak Saturday.
Shavon Shields, who left the game with 8:49 left due to a head injury, scored 17 points, Mike Jacobson added a season-high 13 and Ed Morrow had 10 for the Huskers (13-11, 5-6 Big Ten).
Freshman Corey Sanders scored 28 to lead Rutgers (6-18, 0-11).
The Huskers put the game out of reach with a 24-3 run spanning the halves. Rutgers had shot 60 percent (12 of 20) through the first 12 1/2 minutes. Then the Huskers switched to a 2-3 zone defense, and the Knights went a span of 9:43 over the halves without a field goal.
Nebraska turned a 33-27 deficit into a 51-36 lead on its way to completing a season sweep of the Knights. The Huskers beat Rutgers 90-56 in New Jersey on Jan. 9.
Back-to-back 3s by Sanders and Omari Grier gave Rutgers a 33-27 lead with 7:35 left in the first half and prompted Nebraska coach Tim Miles to switch to the zone.
The injury-depleted Knights, three days after a triple-overtime loss to Illinois, were pretty much done at that point. They scored three points with no field goals over their next 12 possessions, and the Huskers led 45-36 after finishing the half on an 18-3 run.
