I do not envy Nebrasketball. Then again, people rarely do. They have the ignominious honor of being the only Power conference team to never win an NCAA Tournament game. That’s right: They are 0-7 all time in the Big Dance. Even Northwestern won a game when they finally made it. They often languish near the bottom of the league standings and even with decent fan support, there is little payoff.
This is especially true this year, as they had a 27 day COVID layoff and now have a ton of games they need to make up. One of those games was against Purdue.
