If you were someone who thought Fred Hoiberg lost this basketball team, you were WRONG.

Nebraska battled back against all odds, holding on to beat Wisconsin on Senior Day, 74-73 behind 26 points from Alonzo Verge, and a tenacious defense that saw the Badgers miss all 9 of their last shots, held to without a field goal in the last 5:48 seconds.

Our beloved Huskers won this game despite:

  • Bryce McGowens being out with a wrist injury
  • Trey McGowens being ejected because of a Flagrant 2 foul call at
  • Alonzo Verge being called for a questionable technical foul
  • Nebraska getting ten fouls and Wisconsin in the Double Bonus at 16:18

Nebraska started out the game well, moving the ball around well, getting a lot of shots inside while the Badgers uncharacteristically turned the ball over repeatedly.
