On the final day of February, both Nebraska's men's and women's basketball teams staged blowout wins. Since the calendar switched to March, both teams have suffered their worst or at least most frustrating losses of the season.
Fred Hoiberg's squad traveled to UCLA (which is admittedly a juggernaut on its home court) and played as badly as they have all season in a 72-52 loss to the Bruins on Tuesday night. On Wednesday afternoon, Amy Williams' squad opened its Big Ten Tournament by holding a 45-28 lead at the half.
"Collapse" doesn't seem to really correctly encapsulate what Nebraska did in the second half of its first-round game against 13th-seeded Indiana.
