The Nebraska Cornhuskers made the big dance! They have a tough first-round matchup in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament as they are ranked as a No. 8 seed and will face the No. 9 seed Texas A&M out of the SEC.

The Aggies enter Friday night's game coming off a tight loss to the Florida Gators in the SEC Tournament semifinals. They are led by guard Wade Taylor, who is one of the best guards in the nation as he is flirting with a 19-point scoring average and leads his team in assists with 4.0 a game. He also leads the team in steals with 1.9 steals per game.

Nebraska enters the game coming off loss to Illinois in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament. The Huskers are led by lethal shooter and offensive threat Keisei Tominaga. He averages 14.9 points per game and has been a threat to any team that crosses his path. If Tominaga is on fire, Nebraska has a puncher’s chance against any team.
