Nebraska, hungry for school’s first Sweet 16, ready for Vanderbilt
After winning the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament game on Thursday, Nebraska wants more.
The Cornhuskers (27-6), the No. 4 seed in the South Region, will try to make the program's first Sweet 16 when they take on fifth-seeded Vanderbilt (27-8) in second-round action Saturday night in Oklahoma City.
The No. 13 seed, Troy, was no match for Nebraska, losing 76-47 in the first round. Nebraska took a commanding 41-25 lead at half, and the Trojans were only 13 of 46 (28.3%) from the field for the game.
