The Stage

The prospect of Michigan beating Nebraska in Lincoln this afternoon radically has changed in recent weeks. On January 5th, the Huskers were #156 on KenPom and had just lost to Iowa to drop to 8-8 (0-3 Big Ten). At that point, Michigan was a sizable favorite to win. Since then, though, Nebraska has played its best basketball. The Huskers have won their past four games, beating down three lower-tier Big Ten teams before stunning Michigan State, 72-71, in East Lansing.
