  "account": "Pryce Sandfort led Nebraska to a victory over Providence with 25 points and 9-of-14 shooting, in a Hall of Fame Tip-Off contest on Saturday night. The Cornhuskers defeated the Friars 67-58. Boden Kapke added 13 points, Braden Frager contributed 12, and Cale Jacobsen chipped in 11 for Nebraska (2-0). Leonardo Marangon scored 12 points, while reserve Devin Vanterpool had 11 for Providence (1-1). Sandfort sealed the win with a pair of free throws and a three-pointer after a 19-all tie, followed by Jacobsen's layup and Kapke's two straight layups for an 11-0 run. The Friars scored the last six points of the half, but Nebraska took control with an 8-2 run, stretching their lead to double digits at 38-27 with 18:02 left. A 10-3 second-half surge by Providence was unable to close the gap, as Nebraska built a 63-47 lead with 2:25 remaining. Nebraska has now won a school-record 24 consecutive regular-season nonconference games, dating back to November 22, 2024.",
