Let me get this straight:1) #5 Nebraska played at #3 Michigan.2) NU came into the game a 10½-point underdog.3) NU had to play without two key players: senior forward Rienk Mast (he’s the straw that stirs the Huskers’ drink) and redshirt freshman sharpshooter Braden Frager. 4) Between Mast and Frager, the Huskers had to make up over 24 points on offense. 5) Michigan started two 6′ 9″ forwards and a 7′ 3″ center.6) NU used a total of seven players in the game while the Wolverines used nine. 7) NU shot only four free throws for the game while Michigan shot 23.
Given all that, Nebraska led for most of the game still had a chance to tie it on a last-second Sam Hoiberg corner jumper. Truly amazing.
This group of Huskers is something to behold. Their grit and determination is relentless. UCLA legend John Wooden would be proud of the way these Huskers continue to play the game of basketball…
