The Nebraska Cornhuskers men’s basketball team is looking to make its first NCAA Tournament appearance since the 2013-14 season and just its second since the turn of the millennium.
At 19-8 overall and 9-7 in Big Ten play, the Huskers have positioned themselves well to go dancing. One March Madness expert is projecting the Huskers to be a 9 seed come March.
In his latest projections, Andy Katz has the Huskers as the No. 9 seed in the South Region, facing the Colorado State Rams in the first round. If the Huskers would end up with the South Region’s No. 9 seed, their first round matchup would be in Memphis, Tennessee.
While the Huskers can practically smell the tournament, they’ll first need to take care of business throughout the rest of the regular season. They have remaining matchups against Minnesota, Ohio State, Rutgers and Michigan.
