LINCOLN, Neb. - The seventh-ranked Nebraska Men's Basketball team remains unbeaten after a 76-66 win over Washington Wednesday night. 

The Huskers outlasted the Huskies thanks to another night of shooting over 50% from the field, and a third consecutive +20 point game from Pryce Sandfort who led all scorers with 23. 

While Nebraska got the win on the floor, the Huskers may be hit with a loss to their lineup. Freshman Braden Frager would leave the game in the first half with an ankle injury and would not return to play - he did remain on the bench in the second half in a boot. 

Head Coach Fred Hoiberg noted the injury was some sort of sprain and Frager will be given an X-Ray for further evaluation. 

Nebraska extends their winning streak to 23 games and visits Minnesota at 11:00 a.m. CT on Saturday.
