I said that the game against Wisconsin was a “must win” and the Huskers came through in the clutch for a win over 6th ranked Wisconsin. However, that was at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln where Nebraska has one of the best home court advantages in the country.
Today’s game is not at PBA which does not bode well for the Huskers as they have had trouble finding ways to win away from PBA this season.
The last time the Huskers won at Illinois was during the 2016 season.
So today is a going to be both a difficult test for Nebraska but one heck of an opportunity for Nebraska to take steps toward securing a spot in the NCAA tournament.
