Lincoln – Nebraska’s frantic comeback fell just short, as the Huskers fell No. 18 Maryland, 97-86, in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament.
Nebraska (16-18) rallied back from a 25-point deficit to within 92-86 after a 3-pointer from Andrew White III with 1:38 remaining. On the next possession, the Huskers got a miss from Damonte Dodd and had the rebound and a chance to make it a one-possession game, but a foul on Glynn Watson Jr. gave Maryland the ball.
The Huskers would get no closer, as Maryland went 5-of-6 from the line in the final minute to hold on and advance to Saturday’s semifinal against Michigan State.
