It has been a weird week for the Nebraska basketball team and even with more coaching rumors surrounding the Huskers, they still found a way to bring it Wednesday night.
And despite falling behind by 12 points early, the Huskers stormed back in front of their home fans and beat the Bulldogs 80-76 in the first round of the NIT Wednesday and thanks to really strong efforts from veteran leaders James Palmer, Glynn Watson Jr. and Isaiah Roby, Nebraska basketball will have at least one more game to play.
Maybe it was the Fred Hoiberg rumors or the fact that Nebraska was back in the NIT for the second straight season, but during the first five minutes or so, nothing was going down and the Bulldogs built a 14-2 lead.
