Healthy Huskers, Full Lineup Set Nebraska Up for NCAA Run

Nebraska set a program record with five conference finalists last weekend in a rugged Big Ten Tournament, placing third behind Penn State and Ohio State in the team race. “The Big Ten is the toughest wrestling conference, and nobody can really dispute that,” Husker coach Mark Manning said Thursday afternoon. Despite the impressive weekend, perception of Nebraska’s tournament was marred by its 0-5 record in the finals, dropping four matches to #1 seeds.
