Game Preview
Nebraska is one victory away from playing in the Big Ten tournament championship game for the first time. Cornhuskers coach Fred Hoiberg took it one step further.
“If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time Nebraska has ever been in the semifinal in the Big Ten tournament,” Hoiberg said.
That also is true. Now the third-seeded Cornhuskers (23-9) have a chance for a breakthrough when they face second-seeded Illinois (24-8) on Saturday afternoon in the tournament semifinals at Minneapolis.
