Fred Hoiberg doesn't hold back on his Nebraska message before the NCAA Tournament

Nebraska has done the hard work. They had a solid regular season, starting out 20-0, to give themselves breathing room in the Big Ten Tournament, and now it is time to put their money where their mouth is.

The Cornhuskers are heading to the NCAA Tournament as a four-seed, which is a little lower than some fans would have wanted, but still a solid place to be. Nebraska will face Troy, a team they certainly can't afford to overlook, and head coach Fred Hoiberg is making sure his team is in the right headspace.

It is win or go home for Nebraska and they won't get any 'do-overs'

Nebraska won't have to travel too far for its first-round matchup against Troy, as it gets to play in Oklahoma City, and the hope is they will finally get that first NCAA Tournament win. It is now or never for the Huskers, and Hoiberg knows that.

"I've talked a lot about this: 'There's no more do-overs.'" Hoiberg said. "We can't go back and watch film and clean up anymore. It's all about going out there and giving everything we got."

In eight appearances in the NCAA Tournament, Nebraska is 0-8, and they are hoping to finally add one to their win column this postseason. The crowd will be there for Huskers, and they have a couple hour drive South to Oklahoma City, and many will want to hopefully see Nebraska make program history.

This is a Nebraska team that has felt the highest of highs and the lowest of lows at one point or another this past season. The Huskers have navigated injuries, scoring slumps, struggles on defense, and so much more before heading into the NCAA Tournament.

Hoiberg has gotten his team ready for a big showing in March, and the players are ready to showcase what they can do as well. Troy won't be an easy opponent, but nothing worth doing is ever easy, and Nebraska knows a win will be well worth it.
