How far can the Huskers go in the B1G tournament?

Nebraska missed out on a double-bye so the schedule will be grueling, but there's a path in Minneapolis this week.

Nebraska missed out on a double-bye in this week’s Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament by a bucket. Sunday’s 74-73 loss at Illinois bumped the Huskers down to the 5-seed this week in Minneapolis. That still earned Nebraska a first-round bye.

The Huskers face the winner of 12-seed Purdue and 13-seed Northwestern. That game is Thursday afternoon at…let’s call it 2-ish Central? (You know we’ve reached March and its glorious buffet of tournaments when all I can officially tell you is NU will play 25 minutes after the game before it—Maryland vs. Illinois—is over. This is inconvenient but charming.)

To get you ready for the start of Nebraska’s postseason trek, here’s a quick guide to this week’s action from the Target Center.
