Nebraska Basketball Clinches No. 2 Seed in Big Ten Tournament

Nebraska earned a triple bye as the No. 2 seed after finishing tied for second in the Big Ten regular season and beating Iowa, advancing directly to Friday's quarterfinals.

  • In the lead-up to the conference tourney, Nebraska will be the No. 2 seed in this week's Big Ten tournament, after the regular season closed.
  • Clinching the seed came when Nebraska defeated Iowa on Sunday at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
  • Receiving a triple bye, the Huskers will not play until Friday's quarterfinal at 5:30 p.m. CDT on the Big Ten Network, awaiting the Purdue/Indiana/Northwestern/Penn State survivor.
  • The Huskers enter with a 6-2 record against the eight teams on their side of the bracket, and should Nebraska advance, they would most likely face 3-seed Michigan State in the quarterfinals.
  • The Big Ten tournament runs March 10-15 at United Center in Chicago, with top seeds including 1-seed Michigan and 4-seed Illinois; Selection Sunday is one week away.
