There's a high level of responsibility that goes along with being an excellent basketball team.
Make no mistake, Nebraska has an excellent men's basketball team in 2018-19, and you certainly can say the Huskers fulfilled their responsibility in an 80-57 victory against Seton Hall before a revved-up crowd of 13,245 Wednesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
There was a lot to like here. But let's start with something Nebraska fans may have missed or perhaps forgot about in their rage about the officiating, which was indeed awful at times. Early in the second half, after Nebraska swingman James Palmer was a bit too passive defending a three-point shooter, Husker seventh-year coach Tim Miles chewed him out near NU's bench, even as action continued.
