When Nebraska entered Crisler Arena on Thursday night, no one believed the Cornhuskers would pull off the upset even though Michigan basketball was missing three of their starters from a season ago. The Wolverines may have dropped their last two games, but they’re nowhere near the disaster that resides in Lincoln. Nebraska lost 14 straight contests before embarking on the trip to Ann Arbor.
To the surprise of the spectators, the Cornhuskers kept it close and left the court at halftime down just four points. UM couldn’t keep it’s starting five in the entire time, and when Juwan looked to the bench for relief, Nebraska took full advantage and would go on a run while Michigan failed to produce offensively.
