The Huskers have been trying to prove doubters wrong all season -- and part of that is taking care of business at home against beatable opponents. They did more than that tonight: thuroughly dominating the hottest team in the Big 12 by snapping Kansas State's 4 game win streak by a 81-55 margin.
The Wildcats were ineffective in the middle, with their big men constantly getting outplayed by L.F. Callahan. Meanwhile, the back court imploded by taking poor shots, turning over the ball, and not staying involved on defense. Nebraska pushed the tempo all game and no matter what Coach West implored his players to do they just did not stay committed on defense. They were down early, and then the Wildcats were out entirely.
With the win Nebraksa moves into a tie for second in the Big 12. Meanwhile, the Wildcats drop back into the middle of the pack.
