Huskers salt away win against Wisconsin at the free-thow line

Nebraska showed off all kinds of advantages over Wisconsin during Tuesday night’s Big Ten tilt at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

And yet the Huskers needed a major advantage at the free-throw line to eventually dispatch UW 63-59, in front of 13,497.

NU has depth, experience, length and talent and, though Tim Miles' by no means a surefire outfit, it looks like a team built to last the winter and push for postseason work.

The Badgers, outside of junior center Ethan Happ, lack all of the same characteristics displayed by NU and look like a team destined to miss the NCAA tournament for the first time in nearly two decades.
