Borchardt big off the bench as Nebraska beats Stetson 71 62

Borchardt big off the bench as Nebraska beats Stetson 71-62. LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Tanner Borchardt came off the bench to score a career-high 8 points and grab 10 rebounds, all in the second half, and Nebraska pulled away from Stetson late to take a 71-62 win Friday night. Nebraska (10-5) trailed just once in the game, after Stetson's Luke Doyle hit a 3-pointer on the opening possession of the second half. But the Huskers couldn't shake the Hatters, who tied the game three times in the final minutes, the last at 48 on Doyle's 3-pointer with 9:15 left. Stetson (7-8) then went scoreless for more than 5 minutes and Nebraska went on a 10-point run that began with an Evan Taylor steal and layup and ended with a pair of James Palmer, Jr. free throws that put Nebraska up 58-48 with 4:25 left. The Hatters cut the lead to six twice in the final minutes but final-minute dunks by Taylor and Palmer sealed the win for Nebraska. Borchardt, who received a scholarship a week ago, sparked the sluggish Huskers in the second half, including a block that led to Palmer's free throws.
