Palmer puts capper on what could have been
The senior guard scored 19 points (all in the second half) on Sunday in the loss. He now holds the school record for scoring in a season. His up and down game (started 0-10 from the floor) perfectly encapsulates what was supposed to be a triumphant return this year.
🚨 SINGLE-SEASON RECORD 🚨

Fatigue finally a factor
Whether it was Palmer's 0-10 start to the game, or Isaiah Roby seemingly fouling every time he stepped on the court, the Huskers finally looked tired. That was especially true late in the game when they just couldn't keep up with a good TCU team.
Finally, Nebraska just couldn’t keep up.

After four wins in five games to extend the season, the Huskers’ year came to a close in the second round of the NIT Sunday night in a 83-72 loss at TCU. https://t.co/uf647pb4MD
Tanner Borchardt had himself a game
After spending most of the season as an after thought, Borchardt had another incredible game. He was 6-for-6 from the field and scored 16 points. He also hauled down 13 rebounds. The senior from Gothenburg played a hell of a final game of his career.
