Well, that was a short-lived Big 12 Tournament appearance for the men’s team this year. Baylor, coming into the game with a similar record to the Huskers, absolutely took it to Nebraska all game long. If you missed the game and catch the highlights on ESPN you’ll probably notice that at no time do they show a positive Nebraska play. The whole reel is like a promotional video for Baylor basketball. What a bummer.
With a final record of 18-12 the best Nebraska can really hope for is an invite to the NIT. In all honesty, while a NCAA Tournament berth is always nice it probably would’ve meant a one-and-done scenario for the Cornhuskers. If they get into the NIT it’s really anyone’s ball game and they might have at least a slim chance at making a run and playing some more games.
