When the Nebraska basketball team tips off its NCAA Tournament run, there are lots of things they'll need to do on both sides of the court to log the school's first-ever win in the Big Dance. Everything the Huskers need to accomplish comes down to one number. 70.
Quite a lot will be made of NU's offense, especially when talking about All-Big Ten forward Pryce Sandfort and the conference's best sixth man, Braden Frager. However, as HuskerMax analyst Dave Feit recently pointed out, the defense will be far more of a determining factor if Nebraska wants to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
