After an impressive win over Seton Hall last week, it seemed like Nebraska basketball was going to have a good shot at cracking the Top 25 of the AP Poll.
However, the Huskers didn’t quite crack the Top 25. Nebraska basketball ended up 26th, which is two spots lower than in the coaches poll, where NU ranks No. 24.
Nebraska was not included among the 25 teams in the poll, yet Ohio State and Wisconsin both earned their way in after the Badgers beat Xavier and Ohio State knocked off Creighton. All those wins came in the Gavitt Games, the same series between the Big East and Big Ten in which Nebraska beat Seton Hall.
