Nebraska got double-digit scores from four players: guard Bryce McGowens (18), guard Alonzo Verge Jr. (18), forward Derrick Walker (16), and guard C.J. Wilcher (15).

As for South Dakota, they can't say they have nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving week. They took their matchup at home on Tuesday with ease, bagging a 99-58 win over the Presentation Saints.

Their wins bumped Nebraska to 4-2 and the Coyotes to 4-1. Alonzo Verge Jr. will be someone to keep an eye on after he posted a double-double on 18 points and ten assists along with five boards on Tuesday.
