Nebraska MBB Recap: Huskers Jobbed by Refs in 116-114 Double OT Loss

Nebraska has gotten off to notoriously slow starts on the road and this one looked like it could go that way. After missing its first attempt, Ohio State would hit its next 5 field goals. Bruce Thornton would be outscoring the Huskers 7-6 through the first 4 minutes. Nebraska would then immediately go on its second scoring drought of over 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and the Buckeyes would take a double-digit lead. Nebraska was getting outrebounded 7-2 early, as they were getting beat on both ends of the floor on the glass. Nebraska would start to play better defense, closing the lead down to 4 with just under 8 minutes left.
