Pathetic. That would be a tremendous word to describe Nebraska basketball’s effort in a 95-71 loss to Penn State on Wednesday night. In a game that started out poorly, that trend would continue throughout the course of the night. In a game where they started out behind, they ended up being blown out by a tough Penn State team. To their credit, the Nittany Lions showed grit and effort. Nebraska basketball did not.
With the loss Wednesday, that should put them out of the NCAA tournament discussion. They already entered into the contest with a slim margin for error.
