Thursday Big Ten Recap: OSU Beats Nebraska
The Big Ten had two games on Thursday. The early game featured Nebraska on the road against Ohio State. Michigan traveled to face Rutgers later on.
Let’s take a look at what happened.
-Ohio State Buckeyes 78, Nebraska Cornhuskers 69
This was an interesting one, as both teams entered with momentum and serious NCAA Tournament hopes on the line. Nebraska had won four straight by double-digits and Ohio State was coming off a huge road win over Michigan State. Add in Nebraska’s underwhelming road record and it looked like it could be an interesting matchup.
The game itself was pretty competitive, with Ohio State starting to take control in the opening minutes of the second half. Nebraska’s biggest issue was the team’s inability to stop Jamison Battle, who finished with 32 points, four rebounds, and three assists. Roddy Gayle also had 16 points and 10 rebounds as the Buckeyes scored a 78-69 win.
Ohio State improved to 17-12 overall and 7-11 in Big Ten play with the win. The team remains on the wrong side of the bubble, even with the win, but it’s certainly getting a lot closer. TRank now gives the team a 9.2 percent chance to make the cut, which isn’t terrible given where things were a month ago. If Ohio State can close out the regular season with two wins, the team will have a real shot at making the field.
On the other side, Nebraska fell to 20-9 overall and 10-8 in Big Ten play with the loss. The Huskers remain a safe bet to make the NCAA Tournament, even after Thursday’s defeat. However, it’s probably going to take at least one more win down the stretch for fans to feel completely confident. The good news is the team closes with two winnable games.
The Buckeyes will now prepare for arch-rival Michigan at home on Sunday. The Huskers will prepare for Rutgers at home on Sunday.
-Rutgers Scarlet Knights 82, Michigan Wolverines 52
This was over a few minutes into the first half. Rutgers absolutely blitzed a short-handed Michigan squad and never looked back. Clifford Omoruyi led the way with 19 points and 15 rebounds. Jeremiah Williams also had 19 points. The benches were unloaded in the second half as Rutgers impressed throughout.
Rutgers improved to 15-13 overall and 7-10 in Big Ten play with the win while Michigan fell to 8-21 overall and 3-15 in Big Ten play with the loss. The Scarlet Knights will now prepare for Nebraska on the road on Sunday. Michigan will get Ohio State on the road on Sunday.

LINCOLN, Neb — University of Nebraska–Lincoln agriculture students will soon get hands-on experience with a new kind of farm equipment: methane-powered tractors.
CNH donated two New Holland methane-powered tractors through the University of Nebraska Foundation, creating new agriculture research and education opportunities for faculty and students in the university’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The New Holland T6.180 is the world’s first 100% methane-powered production tractor. Each tractor has a retail value of $287,240.
The gift was facilitated by Andy Dozler, manufacturing engineering manager of the CNH plant in Grand Island. Dozler earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanized systems management from Nebraska in 2004 and serves on the Biological Systems Engineering advisory board. CNH’s manufacturing engineering department in Grand Island also employs 10 engineers who are Husker alumni.
“I was made aware of a unique opportunity that CNH was looking to donate several state-of-the-art methane-powered tractors to universities,” Dozler said. “The goal was to place this advanced equipment in the hands of students for real-world use, helping prepare the next generation of farmers and innovators while demonstrating the viability of alternative-powered machinery in everyday agricultural operations.”
The two tractors will be used at the university’s Eastern Nebraska Research, Extension and Education Center, a research and education facility near Mead.
The bright blue tractors are designed to minimize emissions while maximizing profitability and productivity on farms. Farms equipped with biodigesters can power the tractors by converting the operation’s plant waste and livestock manure into biomethane. The tractors can also operate on compressed natural gas, which is how they initially will be fueled at the university.
“ENREEC functions as both a working farm and a commercial-scale laboratory where faculty, staff, students, producers, partner organizations and members of the public can observe and test new and emerging technologies,” said Doug Zalesky, director of ENREEC. “This donation is an incredible addition to the slate of technologies here at ENREEC, and it highlights the strong partnership we’re grateful to share with CNH. We’re extremely thankful to CNH for the donation of these tractors, and we look forward to putting them to work.”
The tractors were made at a CNH plant in Basildon, England. CNH’s Grand Island plant, which recently celebrated 60 years of operation, employs more than 600 people. For more than 125 years, New Holland has supported farmers with the technology, solutions and services they need for productive agriculture.
The gift was made as part of Only in Nebraska: A Campaign for Our University’s Future, an effort to engage 150,000 benefactors to give $3 billion to support the University of Nebraska.
