They didn't advance to the 2nd round of the Big 12 tournament. They didn't advance to the 2nd round of the National Invitation Tournament either. Yes,that's right Husker basketball fan's,the Nebraska Men's basketball team ended their season with a 76-49 blowout from the Wichita State Shockers. The Huskers just couldn't get much going. They made a lot of mental mistakes from the get-go. Senior Lance Jeter led the Huskers with 12 points. The Shockers had a 10-0 lead early in the game. Nebraska was never ahead of them. They trailed the entire game. Going into the locker room didn't help. The Huskers put up little if any resistance in the 2nd half. To say that the Huskers looked uninterested and unmotivated may be too harsh,if not for so much proof. The Shockers lead grew to 54-25,and then 67-39. Quit? That wouldn't be fair to Senior Lance Jeter,who was the only Husker on that court that looked like he had some type of motivation. Or to Caleb Walker,who outran a Shocker 50 feet to grab a loose ball,saving it from going out of bounds and tossing it to Senior Drake Beranek,who made a lay-up. But,that,unfortunately,wasn't how the rest of the game went. It was the basketball version of the Holiday Bowl. The Huskers ended their season on a sour note. But,we would like to thank the following Husker Seniors for giving everything they had to help make Nebraska a better basketball program:Lance Jeter,Drake Beranek,Bo Spencer,and Matt Karn. We wish them Gods greatest blessings in their future endeavors.
This team is going to have a long offseason. (Sigh*) A very,VERY long offseason.
