Coach Fred Hoiberg said a late-game blunder that left his team with only four players on the court before a critical three-point play in the final minute of Thursday night's loss to Iowa in the Sweet 16 was his fault.
On the most critical play of Nebraska's Sweet 16 loss to rival Iowa, the Cornhuskers had only four players on the floor, and coach Fred Hoiberg took the blame. After Nebraska cut Iowa's lead to three with 58.8 seconds left of the teams' NCAA Tournament Midwest Region semifinal, the Hawkeyes' Alvaro Folgueiras was supposed to hang around the midcourt line. As Kael Combs was looking to inbound the ball, Folgueiras started jumping and raced toward the basket.
