Steven M. Sipple: Rally remarkable, but that wasn't only reason for memorable day at PBA

You surely anticipated Sunday that the Nebraska men's basketball team would produce one of the most memorable games in the six-year history of Pinnacle Bank Arena.

If you were among 12,391 spectators on hand, the game was one you won't soon forget.

Folks of course will remember the day because of Nebraska's remarkable rally -- it trailed Iowa by seven points with 40 seconds left in regulation before prevailing 93-91 in overtime. But it was more than the rally. This was a large and enthusiastic home crowd turning out for a Husker team that had lost 11 of its previous 13 games.
