If 16s can beat a 1 (twice now) surely Nebraska could win one for once.
Nebraska sits at 0-7 all time. LIU, UL-Monroe also at 0-7. Only Boise State (0-9) and EKU (0-8) have been larger failures in the Tournament.
Nebraska has lost as a 9 (1986 1st ever bid) , 3, 8, 10, 6, 11 and 11. (They did win the NIT in '96). My recall is the only one that they really should have pulled out was the 3 v 14 loss to Xavier in '91. dreadful FT shooting (checks: 14-27, compared to Xavier's 29-40) did them in losing 89-84. The game against Penn another time was winnable.
