It was Senior Day for one coach’s son while the other had a career night but a third turned the tide in an 81-77 Nebraska Cornhuskers (16-15, 9-11) over the Iowa Hawkeyes (19-12, 11-9). Patrick McCaffery led the way for Iowa with 23 points and a career-high six three-pointers while Kris Murray added 22 of his own.
The Hawkeyes struggled to make shots, going 36% from the field and no baskets in the final 6:12 of gameplay. Despite forcing 15 turnovers and tallying 21 points off of them, the shooting defense wasn’t enough as Nebraska made 58% from the field and 53% from three.
