On the other hand, the Huskers have only recorded clean sweeps over all their opponents in all their matches in the NCAA championship this year. LIU, Missouri, and Georgia Tech: none of their foes have been able to hold a candle against the Huskers’ might this time and the Big Ten powerhouse will definitely hope to retain their form as the possibility of them facing arch-rivals the Wisconsin Badgers in the tournament becomes greater.
