Sunday and Monday were rough for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, but there was one piece of good news. Fred Hoiberg's squad is ranked as high as it's been in over 20 years. Following a 2-0 week that included a blowout win over Wisconsin and an upset victory over No. 13 Illinois, the Huskers jumped in the AP rankings.
The Huskers were ranked for the first time in years last week when they entered the poll at No. 23 thanks to a 9-0 start. Now, sitting at 11-0, they've got some cushion in the polls as they jumped all the way up to No.
