Nebraska basketball found itself in a really tough situation Tuesday night in East Lansing, facing a Michigan State team in the thick of the Big Ten race and fresh off a difficult road loss.
After watching Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo as his press conference last Saturday, you could tell the Spartans were going to come out fired up. And add to that, the fact that Michigan State needed a win to keep its hopes alive of capturing the Big Ten regular-season title and it was just about an impossible scenario for the Huskers, who were down two starters.
