After two huge wins in the last two days, Nebraska has set itself up for a potential postseason berth. After hopes were all but dashed, these two wins have put the Huskers not only in the NIT, but the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. The latter doesn’t matter without a win against the Wisconsin Badgers on Friday afternoon. This will be Nebraska’s nation-leading (tied with Kansas) 20th Quadrant 1 or 2 game, which is important for resumes these days.
While the game started off with a good block from Isaiah Roby, the Badgers were not shaken as they got out to an eight to nothing lead.
