You would not be faulted for sweating a little bit when Rutgers cut the lead down to 6 points with seven minutes left in the second half. This exact situation happened the last time these two teams played in Piscataway, NJ on January 17th.
In that game Nebraska had a 12 point lead with about nine minutes left in the second half and the Huskers found a way to lose that game in overtime.
Tonight that situation was similar. Nebraska had a 10 point lead with about eight minutes and they got it down to six.
Until Tominaga decided he didn’t want to lose on Senior Night.
