Nebraska ends decades of March Madness heartbreak with first-ever NCAA Tournament win

The No. 4 Nebraska Cornhuskers made easy work of the No. 13 Troy Trojans in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, taking them down, 76-47, to keep their March Madness dreams alive. 

In doing so, history was made for the program. 

The Cornhuskers have made nine trips to "The Dance," beginning in 1986, yet there were no wins to be found for them in those appearances.
