Pryce Sandfort and Braden Frager each hit seven 3-pointers and No. 8 Nebraska extended the nation’s longest active win streak to 21 in a 90-55 win over Oregon on Tuesday night in Lincoln, Neb.

The Cornhuskers (17-0, 6-0 Big Ten) turned a tie game late in the first half into a blowout by making 17 3-pointers and turning 16 Oregon turnovers into 23 points.

Sandfort, a junior, scored 28 on 9-of-15 shooting, including 7 of 11 from beyond the arc for his sixth 20-point game of the season. Frager, a freshman reserve forward, tallied a career-high 23 on 8-of-13 shooting with 7 of 11 from outside. Sam Hoiberg added 11 points, five assists and six steals.

The Cornhuskers shot 53.3% overall and were 17 of 36 (47.2%) from 3.

Oregon (8-9, 1-5) got 14 points from Wei Lin, 12 from Takai Simpkins and 10 from Nate Bittle. The Ducks played a fourth straight game without junior guard Jackson Shelstad, who was averaging 15.6 points per game before suffering a hand injury.

This is the latest in a season they’ve been below .500 since 2010-11, coach Dana Altman’s first year with the program.

Nebraska led 42-30 at halftime thanks to a 14-2 run to end the first half. The Cornhuskers quickly upped the lead to 17, extending to a 59-37 advantage on a Hoiberg 3 with 12:31 left in the second half. A 3-pointer by Sandfort made it 74-44 with 8:05 to go as Nebraska hit nine straight shots at one point.

Oregon started 9 of 13 from the field but seven turnovers led to many empty possessions early. The Ducks tied the game at 26 on a 3-pointer by Lin with 4:46 left in the first half, one of seven ties before halftime. Nebraska hit four triples in the final 3:30 before halftime to build a double-digit lead.

A win Saturday at Northwestern will match Nebraska’s best start in conference play when it began 7-0 in the Big Eight in 1965-66.
