Two Observations from Nebraska's 3-0 Win Over No. 25 Illinois
Following their successful weekend road trip, Nebraska had already clinched a share of the Big Ten championship. They only needed one more win out of their remaining three to win it outright and secure their place as the number one seed in the inaugural Big Ten Tournament in Fishers, Indiana, later in November.
The Huskers were able to overcome a motivated Illinois and a sluggish start for their 26th win and 20th sweep of the 2026 season. They inch ever closer to another perfect regular and conference season with the win and only two games ahead of them.
Read on for some instant takeaways from the 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-12) win.
