The Nebraska basketball team desperately needs a good, impressive win. As the season starts to wind down, the Huskers are hoping they’re still bound for the NCAA Tournament. Despite losing three of their last four (and would be on a four game losing streak if not a great 15 minutes against Northwestern) most bracketologists believe NU is headed to the postseason.
If they want to stay in the conversation for the Big Dance, they’re going to need to not just beat Minnesota, but probably going to need to look good doing it. While the Huskers’ resume is good enough to get them into the postseason, they need to keep winning.
The good news is that the Nebraska basketball team has three more games on the regular season schedule. The home game vs Minnesota, then a road trip to Ohio State, and then wrapping up the regular season at home against Iowa.

While the Nebraska basketball team is still hoping to get into the NCAA Tournament, the Golden Gophers don’t have a whole lot to play for at this point.
The Gophers, at just 6-11 in the conference, need to win as often as they can in order to make sure they’re going to the Big Ten Tournament. Enough losses and they could drop below the 15th seed. Nebraska basketball can ruin their season while helping its own on Saturday afternoon.
