This 2nd half performance doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy for the Huskers finally winning an NCAA game. What an epic 2nd half fold. 98-87 final. Gave up 58 points in the 2nd half while scoring only 36.

The team seemed to vanish at halftime. Ugly finish to the tournament for the Huskers, but they should be no worse than an 8-9 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Could they win an 8-9 game? That depends on having two good halves of basketball, one just isn’t good enough at that level.
Joe Lunardi has moved Nebraska up to a 7 seed.
And back down to an 8 seed today. We’ll find out for sure some time after 5PM CT.
