For much of the season, the talk about this Nebraska basketball team was that it was different. Different from the other (except 2014) Tim Miles teams that failed to do enough to make the NCAA tournament.
After all., this Nebraska basketball club has proven more than once it can win away from home. The Huskers beat Clemson at Littlejohn and also beat Creighton for the first time in years.
Heck, Nebraska even beat Indiana just over a week ago, in a win that seemed like a turning point for the program. Since then, the Huskers battled Michigan State, the last unbeaten left in the Big Ten, before laying an egg Monday night against Rutgers, falling 76-69.
