Iowa Ruins Nebraska Men's Basketball's Senior Day, Keeps Huskers Out of Big Ten Tournament Field

Nebraska started out on fire from 3, making 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. But that luck wouldn't last, as the Huskers missed their next 10 from deep.

Iowa, meanwhile, used an 11-0 run to jumpstart a 30-17 close to the half.

Nebraska got as close as two points in the second half, but Iowa stretched that back to double digits and continued to hold off the few Husker attacks that came.

The Huskers shot 34.9% for the game, including 6-of-27 on 3s. The Hawkeyes made 49.2% of their shots, making 11-of-28 from deep.

Juwan Gary posted a game-high 24 points on Senior Day. He also grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.

Sam Hoiberg was the only other Husker in double figures with 12 points.

Iowa's win puts them in to the Big Ten Tournament. Nebraska wont' play in a league tournament for the first time since 1976.

The Huskers will now likely play in either the College Basketball Crown in Las Vegas or the National Invitational Tournament.
