In Lincoln, Nebraska, excitement fills the air as the Nebraska men’s basketball team secures a spot in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2014. With a record of 23 wins and 10 losses, the Huskers have been chosen as the No. 8 seed. This Friday, they are set to face off against the No. 9 seed Texas A&M, which boasts a 20-14 record, marking the beginning of their March Madness journey.

Nebraska’s basketball team has already made significant strides this season, reaching the Big Ten tournament semifinals for the first time. This achievement has set the stage for another potential milestone: winning their first NCAA tournament game. As the Huskers prepare for Friday’s game, the anticipation and hope for a historic victory are palpable.
