Nebraska men's basketball got a win in their final regular-season game at home Sunday.

NU (21-9, 11-8 Big Ten) topped Rutgers (15-14, 7-11 Big Ten) 67-56. The win keeps the Big Red in contention for a double-bye in the Big Ten Conference Tournament March 13-17.

The Huskers celebrated four players for Senior Day ahead of the game: Josiah Allick, Jarron Coleman, Keisei Tominaga, and CJ Wilcher. Wilcher is the only one of the quartet with eligibility remaining to come back next season.

Nebraska shot 40.7%, including 9-of-27 from 3. NU added 14-of-20 free throws.

Rutgers managed 32.8% shooting, going 4-of-25 from deep and 10-of-19 at the line.

Tominaga led all scorers with 18 points. Juwan Gary was next with 15 points, adding 11 rebounds for the double-double.

Allick also notched a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

Nebraska closes the regular season next Sunday at Michigan.
