Nebraska's leading scorer, senior Tai Webster, recorded just 11 points and committed five turnovers. One bright spot for Watson was that he led the Huskers in rebounds with eight.

Nebraska will play its final game of the season at home against Michigan. Webster, the Huskers' lone senior, will be honored during Senior Day festivites. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. and will be televised nationally on the Big Ten Network.

The Huskers will likely play on the first day of the Big Ten tournament Wednesday March 8 after the loss to the Gophers. The bottom four teams play for a spot in Thursday's Big Ten tournament action.
