BASKETBALL: Sadler says NIT bid represents progress
LINCOLN -- Playing in the MasterCard National Invitation Tournament certainly wasn't the ultimate goal for Nebraska this season, but for a Cornhusker team that sat home last year during the postseason, it at least represents progress.
"Obviously, we're very excited to be still playing," Nebraska second-year coach Doc Sadler said. "When you go into your second year and you have the opportunity to be playing in postseason play, you've got to appreciate it and then hope that, even though it's not the tournament that we ultimately want to get into, it is another positive step in the right direction."
No. 3-seeded Nebraska (19-12) opens play in the NIT at 8:05 p.m. Wednesday by hosting sixth-seeded Charlotte (20-13). ESPN Classic will televise the game live from the Devaney Sports Center.
