Nebraska has shown a mixed bag this season with notable wins, like their victory over Creighton, which bolstered their resume against a regional rival, and their competitive loss to St. Mary's, indicating they can hang with high-caliber teams. However, their overall inconsistency and struggles against ranked opponents, like their upcoming matchups against Michigan and Illinois, pose challenges that could weaken their standing. The win against UTRGV and others merely cushioned their record, but they need to capitalize on their opportunities against strong teams, such as their home game against Indiana and road contests against big names like UCLA and Purdue, to solidify their tournament position.
