What Happened The Last Time They Played?

The Huskers nearly pulled the upset in Lincoln last year...

Jan. 11, 2022: No. 25 Illinois 81, Nebraska 71

It took nearly two months for Illinois to get its names back in the AP poll — and it could have been on the verge of disappearing after 40 minutes in Lincoln, Nebraska.

After a six-week absence in the polls, No. 25 Illinois held off a pesky Nebraska (6-11, 0-6 BIG) team at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Tuesday, as the Illini pulled away late to win 81-71.

Illinois head coach Brad Underwood preached on Monday that winning on the road in the Big Ten is a challenge regardless of who you play. The Illini (12-3, 5-0 BIG) got all they could handle last season when they traveled to Nebraska, edging the Cornhuskers in overtime.
