Yes. So the Cornhuskers have not had as an illustrious basketball history such as the likes of North Carolina or Duke. Isn’t that which makes them that much better? Who wants to root for the perennial favorites anyways? Underdogs, that’s where the real action is at.
For a program that started in 1886 playing 7-on-7 basketball, Nebraska has indeed made huge strides in an effort to keep up with the rest of the NCAA teams. In 1950 they shared the Big Seven Conference Title with Kansas and Kansas State, in 1996 they won the National Invitation Tournament, and they also maintained semi-regular NCAA Tourney appearances in the 1990s. Unfortunately for the Cornhuskers, they maintain the distinction of a team who has yet to win in NCAA Tournament play.
But the Cornhuskers soldier on, courage in the face of adversity. Current Coach Doc Sadler, one of the betters ever seen as Cornhuskers coach, has a unique mentality for his team and for games. It’s called the “find-a-way-to-win” strategy, which has so far served him fairly well as he holds a stable winning record with Nebraska.

This year, join the Cornhuskers and support them as they try to break the no-win-in-the-NCAA-Tournament curse. The Cornhuskers certainly having the coaching and players to do it, all they need is to find that Cornhusker drive.
