How the hell did Nebraska win?! Josh, Kaleb, and Bigelow unpack it all! How was Nebraska able to turn the tide in the second half after falling behind by 20? Was the defense different or were they giving more effort? They dive into the 22-4 run Nebraska had and how the defense kept them in it even as the offense missed shots.

Later, Jack joins live from a pool in Arizona and it sounds like he's underwater. He's a meme now!

They finish the pod by looking ahead to the Penn State game. Does a win in State College, PA lock up an NCAA Tournament bid? All that and more on After Nebrasketball!
