Game No. 251 — and then some?

Nebraska and Oklahoma meet again, this time in the Chapel Hill Regional. The Huskers are chasing their first regional title since 2005. It all begins Friday.

This wasn’t supposed to happen. A team with an RPI of 51. A season defined by injuries, close calls and inconsistencies. 

Nebraska won when it had to though and now the Huskers have a shot to keep things rolling on the road to Omaha.

The Huskers (32–27) were named the No. 3 seed in the Chapel Hill Regional on Monday, punching their ticket by way of a Big Ten Tournament championship. It’s their 19th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, their second under coach Will Bolt and the program’s third NCAA appearance since 2021.

Now comes the next challenge and it starts with a team Nebraska has played more than any other.
