Huskers nearly gave the game away in the final few minutes, blowing a 10 point lead, but win it in OT.
Nebraska is the 2 seed, which means their opponent on Thursday will probably Purdue.
Free throw shooting was not good. Lawrence missing, twice, the front end of a 1 and 1 allowed Iowa to tie the game at the end of regulation. We turned the ball over way too many times, often after making a steal. We had 0 points from TOAST in the first half.
Mast, while still not close to where he was earlier this season, had some good moments. Sam Hoiberg was, Sam Hoiberg. He is the straw that stirs the Husker drink. Going to miss him next year.
On to Chicago hope we make a good showing.
Here are the most-probable matchups on Thursday:
Michigan probably gets Ohio State.
Nebraska probably gets Purdue.
Illinois probably gets Wisconsin.
Michigan State probably gets UCLA.
IMHO Michigan has the easiest probable Thursday opponent, Nebraska has the hardest, but Wisconsin and UCLA have both been pesky schools this season, and Wisconsin has the best 2 in-conference wins. It wouldn’t surprise me if 2 of the top 4 seeds lose.
