It is a tough feat to beat the same team three times in a single season, even when that team is the conference bottom feeder. The Nebraska Cornhuskers had to experience that reality the hard way Wednesday night in Chicago as the team that led the Big Ten with comeback wins this season (5) when trailing at halftime — and the squad that won five of its final six games — fell 78-75 to the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament.
The Huskers close out the 2022-2023 season with a 16-16 record overall and 9-11 mark in Big Ten play.
