Nebraska basketball fans knew their team wasn’t going to play in the NCAA tournament, but after an impressive run to close the season, it looked like the National Invitational Tournament was a possibility.
It might have taken until nearly the end of the selection show but Nebraska basketball did make the field and will get one final home game. The Huskers made the NIT last season and their first game will come Wednesday with Butler. If they win, they will likely face top-seeded TCU.
For now, though, it means that Tim Miles gets to remain head coach of Nebraska basketball.
