It might be a cliche at this point, but if you live by the three then you will also die by the three. Last night Nebraska died by the three. Too often this basketball team relies on taking the outside shot instead of looking inside. Too many contested three point shots lead to a number like last night.
19.2%.
That is what Nebraska shot free beyond the arc. Compare that to 33.3% against Indiana, 39.4% against Penn State and 44.4% against Oklahoma State.
But....

When shooting 19.2% from three against the number six team in the country, Nebraska was there at the end to win the game.
