IOWA CITY (KMTV) — The Nebraska men's basketball team beat Iowa on the road, 81-77, on Sunday to guarantee the Huskers a winning regular season at 16-15 overall.
It's the first time in the Fred Hoiberg era that the Huskers finished the regular season above .500. It's also the first time since joining the Big Ten that Nebraska has swept the season series with the Hawkeyes.
