LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Teddy Allen scored 17 of his 22 points in the second half when Nebraska Cornhuskers pulled away for a 79-57 victory over North Dakota State Bison on Saturday.
Allen, a junior JC transfer who began his career at West Virginia, was 9-of-17 shooting with five steals for 13 total in three games. Trey McGowens added 19 points and Lat Mayen and Dalano Banton 12 each with Banton grabbing nine rebounds and eight assists.
Leading 43-36 at halftime, Allen scored seven points in a 10-2 run to open the second half and the Cornhuskers (2-1) kept their double-digit lead, extending it to 25 points with a 10-0 run late in which Allen had eight points.
