They wobbled a bit in Big Ten play, going 7-11, and earning the 12 seed in the conference tournament. They were a bubble team going into the Big Ten Tournament and many (this author included) felt like they needed a win or two to feel good about their chances for the NCAA tournament. Well, Nebraska went one-and-done, losing to the #13 seed Indiana Hoosiers.
