Nebraska Men Beat USC

12/04/2012

Ray Gallegos had eight of his season-high 20 points in a decisive 19-2 spurt, as Nebraska improved to 6-1 on the season with a 63-51 win over USC Monday night at the Devaney Center.
Gallegos, who posted his second straight 20-point night, electrified a season-high crowd of 10,045, scoring the Huskers' final eight points of the first half, turning a 25-all tie into a 33-25 halftime lead into the break. He scored Nebraska's final 11 points of the half, including three 3-pointers, to stake the Huskers a lead they would not relinquish.
Nebraska took control on the defensive end of the floor after the break, holding USC without a field goal for the first 7:14 of the second half and a span of 10 minutes dating to the final minutes of the first half, as the Huskers built a 17-point lead, at 44-27, after Dylan Talley's 3-pointer with 13:40 left.
The Huskers eventually pushed the lead to 20 points after Gallegos' career-best fifth 3-pointer of the evening, and cruised to the 12-point win.
Dylan Talley joined Gallegos in double figures with 14 points, while Brandon Ubel had nine points, seven rebound and a season-high four assists.
J.T. Terrell led three Trojans in double figures with 14 points, while Bryon Wesley and Jio Fontan added 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Nebraska returns to action Thursday night when nationally ranked Creighton visits the Devaney Center.
