NIT Calls….Huskers Dial Up Home Game!
Alecs Maric has at least one more home game in his future as a Husker. The National Invitational Tournament on Sunday selected Nebraska as a #3 seed and they will face A10 Conference Charlotte (20-13) at the Devaney Center on Wednesday March 19th at 8 P.M. CDT. Tickets are available right NOW!!!
Charlotte had some good wins over Temple, UMASS, and Rhode Island (2), but went just 6-10 in away games this year. On the flip side, NU has a home record of 16-3 but just a 2-8 record away from the Devaney. NU can secure more home games with the upsets of higher seeded teams in their bracket, but all semi-finals and finals will be played April 1st and 3rd at Madison Square Garden.
This is the first post season play in the Doc Sadler era for Nebraska. NU holds a 22-13 all time record in the NIT with one Championship in 1996. The 1996 team went 21-14 (4-10 in conference) and included future NBA’ers Erick Stickland, Mikki Moore, and Tyronn Lue. If that team could do it, so can this team!!! Let’s go HUSKERS!!!
