Defeat comes in many forms for the Huskers. For the Huskers tonight it came with a strong first half and a stunted second in a 79 to 67 loss to the #10 Michigan State Spartans.
There was some hope going into this game which was on the road in one of the more challenging venues in the Big Ten. Very few teams can go into the Breslin Center and take home a win. The hill for Fred Hoiberg and his team were high going into the night. They battled valiantly, but it of course was not enough to pull of the much needed win for the Huskers.
