There's no two ways about it, if Michigan basketball wanted to win the Big Ten title, it needed to beat Nebraska.
The idea of being two games down, going to East Lansing, wasn't a pleasant thought. For much of the game, that's where it felt like things were headed.
Nebraska hit 10 3-pointers in the first half and was up by 11 points at one point. Despite perimeter shots not falling, Michigan kept attacking and earned 24 free-throw attempts. The Wolverines made 70 percent of their 2-point attempts, compared to 56 percent for Nebraska.
