Nebraska 1 of 3 Unbeaten Basketball Schools
• Nebraska is one of just three remaining NCAA Division I schools with undefeated men's and women's basketball programs.
• The Husker men's team coached by Fred Hoiberg (11-0) and the women's team coached by Amy Williams (11-0) join Iowa State (W: 12-0; M: 11-0) and Vanderbilt (W: 10-0; M: 11-0) as the only unbeaten basketball schools remaining in NCAA Division I.
• It is the first time the Husker men's and women's teams have started 11-0 the same season.
• Over the last 10 seasons, the only school to have both men's and women's teams start 12-0 was Tennessee (W: 13-0; M: 14-0) in 2024-25.
Huskers Hitting 80 at Historic Rate
• Nebraska has scored at least 80 points in each of its 11 games to open 2025-26, including three 100-point scoring efforts.
• The only other time Nebraska produced 80 or more points in eight consecutive games came from the 1987-88 Big Eight Champion Huskers in an eight-game span from Jan. 6 at Maine (L, 82-89) through a 94-82 win at Oklahoma (Jan. 27). The 1987-88 Huskers went 7-1 during the stretch - previously the longest streak of scoring 80 or more points in school history.
• Cal Baptist is a strong defensive team that is holding its opposition to just 63.1 points through 11 games. Lancer foes are shooting just 35 percent from the field and 30.5 percent from three-point range. Only one opponent (Boise State, 82) has managed to score 80 points against the Lancers.
Huskers Hang 100, Tie School Season Record
• Nebraska's 101-point effort at Penn State (Dec. 6) not only tied the school scoring record in a conference road game, it also tied a school season record with NU's third 100-point effort in 2025-26.
• The last time Nebraska put up three 100-point games in a season came in 2021-22, when the Huskers crossed the century mark in three of NU's first five games against Maine (108, Nov. 9), Prairie View A&M (102, Nov. 11) and North Carolina Central (113, Nov. 20). The only other time the Huskers have produced three 100-point games in the same season came in 1982-83.
• Nebraska has never scored 100 points in four games in the same season.
Efficient Big Red Spread Wealth, Share Rock
• As a team, NU ranks ninth nationally in scoring offense (89.8 ppg), while ranking second in field goal percentage (.529) and 10th in scoring margin (33.1 ppg).
• NU ranks fifth nationally in assists per game (21.9 apg) and seventh in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.75). Two Huskers rank in the top 60 nationally in assist-to-turnover - Callin Hake (20th, 2.95) and Britt Prince (40th, 2.53) - but do not lead the team in that category. Redshirt freshman Kennadi Williams leads the Huskers with 28 assists-to-5 turnovers (5.60) but is five assists shy of making the national minimum of 3.0 assists per game. Williams has dished out 12 assists with no turnovers over the last four games, while Prince owns 17 assists and just one turnover over the last three games. Texas' Rori Harmon (5.11) officially leads the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio.
• Nebraska's early season depth has been remarkable, especially considering the Huskers have been playing without injured Katrina McClain Award candidate Natalie Potts and Allison Weidner, a graduate guard redshirting with a leg injury in 2025-26. In 2,200 game minutes, Nebraska's five starters have combined for approximately 1,240 minutes, while the reserves have played approximately 960.
• Nebraska ranks third nationally in bench scoring (36.4 ppg), including 45 points in the Big Ten-opening road win at Penn State (Dec. 6).
• As a team, Nebraska leads the Big Ten and ranks second nationally by shooting 52.9 percent from the field through 11 games. Only two Husker teams have ever hit 50 percent or better from the field - 1991-92 (.503) and 1987-88 (.500).
