The last time Minnesota beat Nebraska at PBA the head coaches on the sidelines were Doc Sadler and Tubby Smith.
Well the next time this matchup happens in Lincoln that fun fact remains the same as Nebraska grabs a lead and hangs on to beat Minnesota 78 - 65 in front of a lively crowd in Lincoln.
Alonzo Verge Jr. helped gap the Gophers in the second half. At one point he was 7-7 from the field just in the second half and he ended with 22 points to lead Nebraska.
We can debate all we want but Minnesota’s cold shooting in the first half was a big part of why Nebraska was able to build the lead.
